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
  • Important: template edits have to be redone!In every manually done template edit find: photo_popup.php?e=$editorid and replace with photo_popup.php?$session[sessionurl]e=$editorid
• Version 3.2 new/updated product config file vBGallery (bugfixes), some additional error checking and error messages, debug information enhanced
• 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.

There's no other possible reason that I'm aware of than just what it says: The mod checks if the file is there. If it's unable to find it, it throws this error.

I have uploaded photo_popup_config_photoplog_categories to forum/includes and its there.

Is it the forum at http://luvinpoker.com/forum?
I checked the popup there. When changing to the last option in the product dropdown, it throws the following error:

Error:
The configuration file "photo_popup_config_photoplog_useralbum" for this product is missing in [forumroot]/includes directory. Please consult installation instructions for this mod

The config file "photo_popup_config_photoplog_useralbums.php" is there at your includes folder. But it is evident that you did not set the product correctly in AdminCP. Change "photo_popup_config_photoplog_useralbum" to "photo_popup_config_photoplog_useralbums" there and it will probably work.

And also we have our photoplog directory file called LP Gallery Does this matter also?

/forum/LP Gallery

You mean the directory where photoplog resides? There's no file in the path you give. And no: this doesn't matter, since this mod looks up your path in the photopost database.

So this now works with PhotoPlog PRO? I'm considering upgrading my installation of PhotoPlog on my forum.

[cellarius]

There have been issues, but with the last upgrade they should be resolved.

You just said it was working ok with vB albums? Do you have images uploaded to a vB album?


Why should the no images message vor the albums change if you upload to Photopost? Or was the error message above all along for Photopost?

Perhaps you could clarify...

im sorry i made a mistake.
it works for vb but not photopost
when i try to find images in photopost i get that error
i can load up pictures from vb ok

thanks

Thanks, that's great news - so I'll mark the vBGallery config as working for the moment

Hi.

Link shows up in smilies and TMS says everything tests ...

But I get this message when the window pops ...

404 - Not Found
The page you are trying to access does not exist.
If this error persists, please contact the website webmaster.

URL window shows: http://forum.xopa.org/photo_popup.php?e=vB_Editor_001


Background:


I installed first without the TMS and decided I didn't want to edit. No big deal. So I installed TMS and reinstalled a couple of times and get the same error.

I have PhotoPost newly installed in a different database (xopa_photopst) but thought I would just link pictures from albums for now so have not turned on that feature in the AdminCP. Photopost is a new domain (and subdomain) gallery. Forum is obviously a subdomain as well.

Seems like I am getting directed in the wrong direction.

Thanks.

[cellarius]

This means that there is no photo_popup.php file in your forum root directory. Are you sure you have uploaded it correctly?

The rest (TMS, products used) is in no relation to this error. As long as the main script file of the mod is missing, it's quite irrelevant how you configure it

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

You know what would be freaking awesome ...
and seems only one step out from this add-on ...

If this could be made so that all attachments can be displayed on a single page for all to browse.

ie: the pop-up window, but for all users. and common template to browse.

Basically a Gallery, but using all attachments in the forums put together in one place.

That was completely rule.

I'd definitely pay for it too if it was that.



Anyway...great add-on as is. just a thought.

[meissenation]

Works great - thank you!
