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 history

  • new config file for CND Garage > 2.x
• Version 3.4 / 3.4.1: Album dropdown not populated if using mysqli,Photopost not saving medium sized images, Fix for PHP 5.3.0 related bug (bugfixes)
• 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.

Do I need to update this version or is it what you sent me and the edits I did?

[cellarius]

The template edits are already in place, but you should reupload the photo_popup.php and import the product file.

Added that info to firstpost.

Thanks to you both for confirming this

For photopost only :

Photopost Pro saves medium images only if size exceeds specified value. This addition prevents showing thumbs of images, which medium-size file does't exists.

find in photo_popup.php

PHP Code:

else
{
    $where_add = where_add();
} 


and add below

PHP Code:

$med_query = "";
if ($which_product == "photopost")
{
$med_q = "0";
switch ($insert_what)
    {
            case "link_thumb_2_orig" :
                $med_q = "0";
                break;
            case "link_thumb_2_gallery" :
                $med_q = "0";
                break;
            case "link_med_2_orig" :
                $med_q = "1";
                break;
            case "link_med_2_gallery" :
                $med_q = "1";
                break;
            case "thumb" :
                $med_q = "0";
                break;
            case "med" :
                $med_q = "1";
                break;
            case "orig" :
                $med_q = "0";
                break;
            case "thumb_2_gallery_link_below" :
                $med_q = "0";
                break;
            case "med_2_gallery_link_below" :
                $med_q = "1";
                break;
            case "orig_2_gallery_link_below" :
                $med_q = "0";
                break;
    }
if  ( $med_q == "1" )
    {
    $med_query = " AND medsize != 0 ";
    $where_add = $where_add . $med_query; 
    } 
}

I have just installed this much-anticipated hack, and it seems to work - except for the button that is to be inserted in the editor toolbar. To put it briefly, this isn't appearing. No button is added, but rather a textbox and link are being added at the bottom of the screen (screen shot attached).

Any ideas how to solve this?

I am using the latest hack release on vB 3.8.2, and I have the latest version of the Template editor hack running also.

Many thanks.

This has been asked several times - please read this thread or use the thread search.

This is by choice and the default. Why? Because that's the setting I use in my forums.

To change it, just read the template_edits.txt file. It's there for a reason.

Thanks for this information. Will be included into the next version.

Thank you for pointing me towards this: I was able to make the changes and get things appearing properly.

Might I suggest that in a future release you make this more obvious (since I didn't notice the details in that file until you pointed me toward them). From the screen shots and such, it looks to a new installer of your product as if this will be a default setting; and then when it isn't, one assumes something has not gone rightly. And with 375+ message in the thread, it's a little cumbersome to try to find the details! Perhaps some notation in the details for the product, or some other obvious notice, would be helpful to other users.

Many thanks for a fine modification.
