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.

It's a phrase. All phrases for this mod are prefixed photo_popup_, so just search for it.

[choccyclaire]

When the album filter option is checked the drop down albums display in alphabetical order. Is there any way to show it so it displays in the order my gallery categories are set out?

[cellarius]

You'd have to adapt the query for the album in the config file accordingly. That would be the one under "Select statement for useralbums or categories", and the line to look at would be

PHP Code:

ORDER BY title 


Replace title with whatever the database table column name is you want to sort by.

Since I do not know how Photoplog normally sorts (might even be definable) and have no version installed atm, you'd have to find out yourself.

I have installed/uploaded everything, done Template edits but it doesn't work, nothing is showing, no icon.

Bumping this. This is a great mod and very much missed now with VB4

[cellarius]

I already answered that. Just look for it a few posts further up. There will be a vB4 version, it actually is already quite far. Yet atm I don't have the time to finish it, sadly, and I need to figure out a way to make it work well alongside - or even with - the new attachment manager.

Installed and voted excellent, but umm...I can't get anything to show up. Using v3.5. No links/buttons anywhere. I've edited the Photopost config file correctly, have double checked DB settings, Photopost URL's, uploaded all of the files, installed the product, etc...I'm confused. Am I missing something?

1) Upload files
2) Edit config...upload
3) Install product

But I don't see any links/buttons/anything added anywhere...hmm. Is there a master on/off switch somewhere? I've never had a problem installing products! LOL

[cellarius]

The template edits are missing from your list.

        $codebb .= "\\n\\n"; 


Beware: This will add two linebreaks after every image inserted - no exceptions possible.

Thank you sir, thats exactly what I was trying to do. :up:

This would be great for my members but I have a problem similar to slobra. The only thing that is showing up is in AdminCP under Options.

I'm using 3.7 and the Albums that come with vB. I've uploaded the files and double checked that they're where they belong, made the template edits and double checked that those were done properly & installed the product. From what I understood there's no need to tamper with the conf files if using basic vB Albums... correct?

I do have a couple mods to enhance the Albums installed. Is it possible that one of these is messing things up?

Thank you for any help.
