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 3.2 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.

I vote for vB4 to I miss this

[cellarius]

I appreciate your input, but I already have stated several times that this mod will be available as soon as I find the time to complete it. Please read #548, I have nothing to add. No matter how many people ask for a vB4 version, it won't be ready a second earlier.

Useless and great addon, thanks for the author for them.

but here is some mistake appeared while trying to resolve vbSEO broken images and touches users who store content at the different domains. Situation:
images from photopost at: http://images.forumdomain.com/

[b/]Only on WYSIWYG[/b] we receive error while adding images: broken urls like
http://www.forumdomain.com/lalala/thumbs/i.jpg
(correct url will be: http://images.forumdomain.com/lalala/thumbs/i.jpg )
because this code at photo_popup.php do that:

$parsed_orig = parse_url($img['orig']);
$img_wysi['orig'] = str_replace ("http://" . $parsed_orig['host'], "", $img['orig']);
$parsed_med = parse_url($img['med']);
$img_wysi['med'] = str_replace ("http://" . $parsed_med['host'], "", $img['med']);
$parsed_thumb = parse_url($img['thumb']);
$img_wysi['thumb'] = str_replace ("http://" . $parsed_thumb['host'], "", $img['thumb']);
$parsed_gallery = parse_url($img['gallery']);
$img_wysi['gallery'] = str_replace ("http://" . $parsed_gallery['host'], "", $img['gallery']);

sorry for my english
maybe some fix? or setting to OFF this peace of code...

It will take some time yet, I'm afraid, and I am not able to give you an estimate.

I don't know about other people but having it work in the cms is of little value to me. The fully fledged asset manager (or whatever we're calling it) seems more appropriate to me for articles. I do however love he ease of use this gives users in the forums.

Thanks again:up:

Hey,

Got this to work with my photopost however in the little dropdown where it says Show: I only have the option to show "all my photos". There are no albums listed. The problem is I have about 50,000 photos in my db and I need to choose by album. Can you help?

Are you using the very latest version? I had this same issue but cellarius fixed it:

Version 3.4 / 3.4.1: Album dropdown not populated if using mysqli

[DannyITR]

yep 3.5.

[cellarius]

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a vB4 version available at
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243865

Supported at the moment are Albums, Attachments, Photopost Pro and vBGallery.

I'm having a strange problem. I moved my site over to a new server with pretty much the same PHP, MySQL, etc. versions and now my images will not show up when I click on insert. I get the popup window just fine, but there is a message that says:

"You do not have any photos uploaded to the gallery or no images match the filtering options set."

The funny thing is, it shows the paging having 6 pages of photos, but no photos appear. All my settings, passwords, db's, etc. have been updated. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin and still no dice.

Any ideas why this is happening? Love the plugin by the way. That's why I need it working again!
