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 3.0 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.

Warning: this is a little bit complex, do not try this if you are not a experienced vb coder. Do it on your own risk!

to get photo popup work with images uploaded as attachments:

1. edit option "Products" (photo_popup_products), add "attachment" to validation code

2. add "attachment" to option "Products" (photo_popup_products)

3. add new phrase to "Global" group: photo_popup_attachment as "Attachments"

4. upload includes/photo_popup_config_attachment.php

5. modify photo_popup.php

[FIND]
$url_get_string =

[ADD BELOW]
$poststarttime =& $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'poststarttime',TYPE_UINT);
$postid =& $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'postid',TYPE_UINT);
if($poststarttime) $posthash = md5($poststarttime . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . $vbulletin->userinfo['salt']);
if($vbulletin->GPC['e'] == "vB_Editor_QR") $postid=0;
$url_get_string .= "&postid=$postid&poststarttime=$poststarttime";

[FIND]
if ($insert_options_count > 1)

[REPLACE]
if ($insert_options_count > 1&&$which_product != 'attachment')

[FIND]
<input name=\"e\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"$editor\" />

[ADD BELOW]
<input name=\"postid\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"$postid\" />
<input name=\"poststarttime\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"$poststarttime\" />

[FIND]
// Add whitespace to codebits

[ADD ABOVE]
	if($which_product == 'attachment') {
		$text = $vbphrase[attachment];
		$codebb = "[ATTACH]".$img['id']."[/ATTACH]";
		$codehtml = $codebb;
	}

6. modify all the three TMS plugins:

[FIND]
photo_popup.php?e=$editorid

[REPLACE]
photo_popup.php?e=$editorid&amp;p=<if condition="$editorid!='vB_Editor_QR'">{$vbulletin->GPC[postid]}</if>&amp;poststarttime=<if condition="$timenow=TIMENOW">$timenow</if>

7. (optional) modify TMS plugin "Add Photo Popup Link":

[FIND]
            </td>
</td>
        </tr>
[REPLACE]
				</tr><if condition="$can_attach"><tr><td>
				[<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('manage_attachments_button').click();return false;">$vbphrase[manage_attachments]</a>]
				</td>
        </tr></if>

8. now you will see the attachments belong to a post within photo popup window!

I thought I installed it right but I recieved this message when I tried to use it

The requested URL /board/photo_popup.php was not found on this server.

Plus the little camera icon isnt showing I'm only using the vbalbums and I didn't upload the folders in the other file

okay got it working now Still trying to get the little camera icon to appear.

Thanks bjhuang, but in Quick Reply no images are presented. And if I in another Thread which I did not have uploaded images (attachments), no images are shown.

Hi, this is a great Plugin. Wonderfull

But i have a strange problem with Firefox.

If i insert a picture into quick Replay Window (in wysiwyg mode) then there is "/.../" to much in the path to the picture so the img link pasted into the reply window is

"______/forum/../picture.php?albumid=7______"

and should be

"______/forum/picture.php?albumid=7______"

So you can only see a "red cross" then.

If i send the Answer the image in the final post is right. If i switch to normal mode not wysiwyg then the correct Link is inserted.

strange thing this only happens in

quick reply, wysiwyg and with the vbulletin album and Firefox

If i paste in extended reply everything works fine.
If i paste from Photopost pro everything ok, also in the quick reply.

very strange, any idea where the problem is?

Thanks a lot for your help.

---- Update ----

I found the link from Photopost ist also inserted wrong ....

"_____forum/../../gallery/data____"

but since the /gallery/ is a root folder, the ../.. doesn't chance anything an the picture shows up normal

Where do the "/../"s come from ?

Regards, Stoebi

yes, it meant to be. it only shows the thumbnail of attachments which you can see in the "manage attachment" popup. if you didn't upload attachments for the new post yet, there should be nothing to choose from. but if you are editing a existing post, you will see the attachments uploaded before.

but if you wish to choose from all the attachments you uploaded before for any post, it is easy. just modify the sql in the config file.

Nice addition!

[Tourmeister]

Does this mod incorporate the VB permissions? Does it only open up albums/galleries that belong to the user or does it just open up ALL galleries and let the user browse them?

good question

[wottech]

It only opens albums/galleries belonging to the user.

The only filtering option I have is "show all my photos". I know for a fact that I have images in my gallery of PhotoPlog.

And no, I am not using PhotoPlog pro.

Everything else works and I can insert images from my vB User Albums just fine.

I'm not sure what the issue is.

I even reinstalled the product and re-uploaded the files and still haven't resolved this.
