  • remember to add the product option "attachments" in your AdminCP when upgrading
  • make sure you reupload photo_popup.php
• new config file for CND Garage 2.x
  • new config file photo_popup_config_cndgarage.php
  • if you're using CND Garage in a lower version that 2.x,
    • and you're upgrading: just continue to use the old file

What does it do?

When creating or editing a post, your users can open a popup window that will show them pictures in the chosen gallery or albums. Now also supports attachments: Reuse what you uploaded! A click on the picture inserts it into the editor.

Works with

• vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x, vB Blog (probably anything that uses the vB editor)
• Photopost Pro
• Photopost vBGallery
• Photoplog
• CNG Garage

Detailed features list

• see second post

Installation

1. Extract the archive.
2. Upload the contents of folder "UPLOAD" to your forum root. Note how the folder structure in this folder mirrors the folder structure in your forum root, so every file will be in the right place.
3. a) If you intend to use only the vBulletin forums albums, proceed to step 4.
   b) If you intend to use any other gallery product, see "Product configuration" in second post.
4. Install the product.
5. a) If you are using Template Modification System (TMS), you're done.
   b) If not, do the template modifications explained in template_edits.txt manually.

Basic Configuration

• if you're using only vB albums, everything is done via AdminCP->Options->Photo-Popup
• Decide there how many rows and columns the popup table will have, what gallery products to use, which insert options you want to allow, activate code mode on a usergroup permission basis, or activate debug mode
• See "Product Configuration" in second post.

Upgrade

• Just reimport the product-xml-file, overwriting the old version, and reupload the photo-popup.php.
• Please check in config_file_versions.txt whether the config file for one of the products you use has been changed since last update.
• If the config file for one of your products has been updated, upload it from config files folder to your includes directory. Don't forget to take note of any any changes and settings in the old file and adapt the new one accordingly, if necessary.

Support and debugging

Ill help whenever I find the time. Before asking, please activate debug mode and post the information given there (especially under "Code". Please try the two links given - do they look "normal" and do they work? Debug information is only shown to Administrators (usergroup 6). Always state the products you use, including the software versions. Also read the infromation in the second post of this thread.


Hopes for the future
World peace, happiness, health and lot's of money

• Version 3.3 new/updated config file vBGallery (bugfixes); session-handling fixed; workaround for vbseo problem with Firefox in WYSIWYG editor

• Version 3.1 new/updated product config files: cnd garage (thanks to wottech for cooperation), photoplog categories, photoplog albums, photoplog, vBGallery; some additional cookie error checking; error checking in AdminCP removed; bugfixes from this thread.
• Version 3.0 code reorganisation: implemeting of new galleries made easier by outsourcing of the relevant settings and database queries into seperate config files; new feature: support for vBGallery and Photoplog (lite?) added; minor bugfixes
• 3.0.1 Important bugfix if you are using vB albums: wrong database query in config file. To fix this, it's enough to reupload photo_popup_config_albums.
• 2.2 New feature: 2 plugins to show correct location and activity in "who's online". Bugfix: Bit of unphrased German removed from template (in pagenav dropdown). For upgrade from 2.1 just import product file, no uploads necessary.
• 2.1 New feature: Code mode. Lets you see the corresponding bb- or html-code instead of sending the image to the editor. If your browser allows that, the code is also copied to clipboard. Bugfix: Fixed a problem where pagination misbehaved when working with vB albums
• 2.0 New feature: Support for quickreply and quickedit!
• 1.4 New feature: Three new insert-options: thumbnail, medium and original image not linked themselves, but with a link to the gallery/album in the line below. This should be especially interesting for the users of the image resizer mod.
• 1.3 feature improvement/bugfix: default popup size is now determined before opening, not after (window.resize method causing issues in Firefox). Auto-close of the popup now using the YUI Event Listener; the needed library is already part of vB's standard distribution. New feature: title bar with "close this window"-link.
• 1.2 new feature: popup closes after editing is completed; smaller changes in Layout
• 1.1 new feature:set popup window size, to go with your table settings; minor bugfixes
  
• 1.0 Initial release

Development and bugfix releases for config files
If the need arises, there will be development or bugfix releases of config files between official releases of this mod. The zip file attached to this post will always be up to date. At the moment, there are no development/bugfix-releases.

Hi,

and another great hack by cellarius. I`ve been asking for such a feature in the Photopost forums but it never happened. So I`m very glad to see this. Will try to install it tomorrow.

thank you - all the best,
Sacha

I am confused, does this work with Photoplog or not? I have the pro version.

[Stoebi]

No, is not working with Photoplog Pro, but is easy to patch.

Open photo_popup_config_photoplog.php and search for

PHP Code:

moderate = 1 


Change to:

PHP Code:

moderate = 0

Next again

What is going on??
Thanks,

You need to delete only the variable

$vboptions[bburl]

from the 3 TMS patches to work again with IE.



To fix the Javascript Syntax error:
Open photo_popup.php and search for

PHP Code:

$copycode = ""; 


and change this line to

PHP Code:

$copycode = true;

the main editor window get focused after insert with IE but not with FF.

[Stoebi]

Feature or not?

My workaround; open template photo_popup and search for

<body style="padding: 5px;">

Replace with

<body style="padding: 5px;" onload="self.focus();">

If you click the text link 'Click to insert photo' or the bb-code the popup window is focused again.

[bjhuang]

to fix the bug that can not insert medium size image from photoplog:

open photo_popup_config_photoplog.php and find

PHP Code:

global $url_path; 


replace with

PHP Code:

global $url_path;
global $medium_switch; 


[bjhuang]

to fix the wrong gallery link for photoplog

open photo_popup_config_photoplog.php and find

PHP Code:

$img['gallery'] = $url_path . "index.php?n=" . $array['filename']; 


replace with

PHP Code:

$img['gallery'] = $url_path . "index.php?n=" . $array['fileid']; 


[Stoebi]

You are right, not tested before, thank you very much.

Is this for both, light and pro, or only pro?


Regards, Stoebi

[bjhuang]

only tested in photoplog pro.

and i'm wondering why there is no link_orig_2_gallery option.
