Detailed features list

• see second post

Upgrade from vB3 version
Please uninstall the old version at AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Manage Addons. Also remove all files you uploaded for the vB 3 version apart from the editor icon, which will be reused. This will be /photo_popup.php and all /includes/photo_popup_config_[product].php files, relative to your forum root. Then follow the installation instructions below.


Installation

1. Extract the archive.
2. Choose the products you want to use and rename the configuration files in _UPLOAD/includes/cel/cel_pp_config from .php_new to .php
3. If you're using Photopost Pro, you need to fill in some crucial information into the config file. Please see the config file for more information.
4. Upload the contents of folder "_UPLOAD" to your forum root. Note how the folder structure mirrors the folder structure in your forum root, so every file will be in the right place.
5. Now the Photo Popup and your chosen product configuration files will be present with default settings on your server. Later on, you may want to make adjustments there.
6. Install the product file at AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Manage Addons.
7. Template edits?
   • If you are using new editor, you're done.
   • If you are using old Editor and Template Modification System (TMS), you're done.
   • If none of the above two conditions apply to you, do the template modifications explained in _DOCS/OLD_EDITOR_ONLY-template_edits.txt manually for the editors you want the popup accessible from.

Basic Configuration

• Global configuration is done via AdminCP->Options->Cel Photo-Popup
• Additionally, you can make settings and overrides in the seperate product config files. See "Product Configuration" in third post.

Upgrade

• If upgrading within the vB4 series, just reimport the product-xml-file, overwriting the old version, and reupload all files (skip the icon if you're using a custom one).
• Most times you will be done, but please check in _DOCS/config_file_versions.txt whether the config file for one of the products you use has been changed since you last updated.
• If the config file for one of your products has been updated, rename _UPLOAD/includes/cel/cel_pp_config from .php_new to .php and transfer your custom settings from your current config file to the new one. Then upload it to your server.

** Please note that the config files for Photoplog and CND Garage have not been converted. I do not have access to vB4 versions of those two softwares for testing and developing. Whether this will change in future, I don't know - at the moment, apart from having no software access, I'm very much out of time. Anyway, the config files are not too hard to figure out and there is a short introduction to adapting them. Please feel free to convert or develop for other software, if you like, and submit to this thread or to me personally by PM.

when members upload new photos they're not showing up in the popup... anything to do to fix this?

[asabet]

This was working great for me before. Now not working. I don't know if it's because I upgraded to vB 4.2.2 or possibly because of installing Opcache and memcached. But when members click the link to go to their photos, it shows blank pages instead of their Photopost photos.

Like this:

[AusPhotography]

Works for us on 4.2.2pl4 / PHP 5.4 / Xcache

[asabet]

Good to know. Are you using Photopost?

[AusPhotography]

No we dropped Photopost and now use DBtech Gallery

[asabet]

I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong, but I can't get this addon to work with 4.2.2PL4 and Photopost Pro.

[tommythejoat]

The tool is working with our 4.2.2 but there is no tool tip for the button in the toolbox for the editor.

The instructions for fixing the tool tip appears to be for a non-CKEditor implementation.

Help!

Previous fix does work and text is controlled by the phrase.

[smirkley]

Trying a few things to get the ckeditor to display the button.

[smirkley]

For anyone else having issues on this cool add-on;


First, if using TMS, the error shows up in the updated template.
The fix is posted here, as the Search for Text box needs to have the code in it instead of what the product installer put in it. Refer to the following link:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=279

Now, I didnt really like the output formatting located right under the smilies area, so I modified the replacement code. Be sure to change the TMS to Replace the text instead of the original Insert Text Below. Insert the following code into the bottom code box in the TMS editor for that template:

<vb:if condition="$show['moresmilieslink']">
    <div class="moresmilies">[<a href="javascript://" onclick="vB_Editor['{vb:raw editorid}'].open_smilie_window(); return false" title="{vb:rawphrase showing_x_smilies_of_y_total, {vb:raw vboptions.smtotal}, {vb:raw totalsmilies}}">More Smilies</a>]</div>
</vb:if>
<br /><br />
<div class="moresmilies">[<a href="#" onclick="window.open(getBaseUrl() + 'photo_popup.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}e={vb:raw editorid}','fotos','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width={vb:raw vboptions.cel_pp_width},height={vb:raw vboptions.cel_pp_heigth}'); return false" title="{vb:rawphrase cel_pp_insertlink}">{vb:rawphrase cel_pp_my_photos}</a>]</div>

Yes, I know I replaced a phrased text for one unphrased statement, but it works without having to change anything else. You can phrase it if you want to.


Second, The tooltip on the button doesnt show. The fix for this is clearly posted here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=265


Third, the tool icon doesnt show. This is a bit more difficult and my fix may not necessarily be your fix, and for me required some hardcoding of the image url into the js file. I am using vb4.2.0pl3 at this moment, and this should fix this issue for those using a reasonable close version as I.

Now, on some of my image source stylevars, I am using subdomains that help to increase page rendering speed in browsers. But this is not the only issue for me.

Open up and view in your favorite editor the following file:
\cel_pp_4-1-004\_UPLOAD\clientscript\ckeplugins\cel_pp\plugin. js

Look for this code:

icon: BBURL + '/' + IMGDIR_BUTTON + '/cel/cel_photo_popup.png',

The first thing I noticed is that the editor icons are fetched from the images/editor/ directory, not the images/buttons/ directory. At least in my setup and vb version.

So I moved the /cel/cel_photo_popup.png from the images/buttons/ directory and put in into the images/editor/ directory.

But that isn't everything, at least for me.

Since, as I stated, use a subdomain to serve these images, I had to remove the BBURL and hardcode the actual url into the js file. I tried using some other ways, but since it didnt work, this is how I resolved it. I changed the above code shown, to the code below. It works. Just be sure to put your proper domain or subdomain into the xxx's.

icon: 'http://xxx.xxxxxxxx.com/cel/cel_photo_popup.png',

Now, if you are not using a subdomain for image fetching it may look more like this:

icon: 'http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/images/editor/cel/cel_photo_popup.png',

If I could find the proper replacement for the IMGDIR_BUTTON as in IMAGE_EDITOR (which wouldnt work for me), then that may provide a better universal solution for everyone, but if you are using a subdomain as I said, then you will have to get rid of the BBURL + '/' + anyways to make it work, otherwise it will append your root domain into the image source.


Hope this helps some of you.

Awsome mod Sven !!!

Hi @Cellarius, really useful plugin. Thanks. But please is it possible to use all the VB users albums, instead of those personal?
It is also important to add a search box.
And also is it possible to use also this Gallery plugin: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=319444 ??


Thanks in advance.
