Geek Gallery Popup for vBadvanced Gallery or PhotoPost 4 or higher

IMPORTANT:
Please note that I can no longer support this project. Primarily as it is designed for vb3.0.x and I no longer use that version (im obviously on vb3.5x ). There is a version for vb3.5 over here . This project is left here for the community.
-----------------------


Inspired by mpdev's photopost popup modifcation.
I used photopost and had his modification installed. When I moved from photopost to vBadvanced Gallery, I needed the same type of hack - so here it is!

This lil doofer is designed to allow your users to open up a popup window while creating a post. The popup window will display all of the users images in thier gallery (vba or photopost) and allow them to click on an image to insert it into their post (inline). They can insert the image as a thumbnail, large image, or a clickable thumbnail that will open the large image in a seperate window. The real cool thing here is that all this works no matter which editor they are using.

You must have vBadvanced Gallery installed and working or PhotoPost 4 or higher duh.

Difficulty: Easy
File modifications: A few (only for phrases).
Time: About 5 minutes
Sign: Libra

Known issues:
Mozilla wysiwyg editor does not allow for html inserts which limits their options to thumbs or original pics only.

Change Log
v. 3 Update 20/2/05
Rewrote most of file to include support for PhotoPost. You can now set up your installation to use either vBadvanced Gallery or PhotoPost 4 or 5. This is determined by the settings in your geek-gallery-popup.php file. Special thanks goes to MPdev for helping sort out the PP integration.

v.2.01 update 11/2/05
fixed mozilla support

v.2 update 3/1/05

1. Added a couple more insertion methods
2. Tidied up UI big time
3. Auto sized popup window
4. Finished the phrasing (found a hard coded phrase)

v.1.1 updated 21/12/04

1. Added phrasegroup additions to newreply, newthread and private as phrases were not appearing there (easy edits).
2. Made the $mediaext easier to edit (types of images allowed in popup)
3. Fixed typo in template that always showed the Next button (took me ages to find the stupid thing)
4. Fixed Back phrase as it was overwritten during the install
5. Fixed problem where in non wysiwyg editor, the clickable thumb was screwing up

To upgrade: Follow instructions in the Readme

Make sure you click the freaking Install button. Otherwise you will run the risk of being skipped over in my Christmas Card Mail Out.

T3MEDIA,

It loos like you may have missed some of the settings in geek-gallery-popup.php.

I believe the script prints out a message in the popup if there are no photos in the gallery.

[T3MEDIA]

in this part of your geek-gallery-popup.php file

PHP Code:

// START GEEKPOPUP SETTINGS

// If using photopost, put the name of the database that contains photopost here:
// You can leave blank if photopost is installed on the same database server as vb3
$gallery_db="photo"; 


is it possable to change the wording to:

PHP Code:

// START GEEKPOPUP SETTINGS

// If using photopost, put the name of the database that contains photopost below and comment out if photopost is installed on the same database server as vb3:
//$gallery_db="photo"; 


The other way is a bit confusing.
Thanks it works now.

you are right SVT. Thanks for the heads up.

Ok in Photopost if there is a picture that isnt there anymore you get an error.

I also got this error.

getimagesize(http://www.mysite.com/forums/mypics/...0006-thumb.jpg): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /home/virtual/site1221/fst/var/www/html/forums/geek-gallery-popup.php on line 198

So far though looks good.

I have a site that uses the webpage & guestbook hack. Imgaine the possabilities!

well there is a odd thing... the phrases dont show up. So I assume you do not have this hack. let me give you the template.

I checked this out earlier. Seems to work fine with Photopost as well - but there seems to be an error while using IE5 (some users highlighted this) this popup works on occasion and is not consistent.

[The Geek]

Not sure why there would be a problem, its pretty straight forward stuff. Can you give me an idea of what is/isnt working on ie5? I havent had any problem at this end.

t3media- I am not sure why you would have an entry in your DB but no file in the system. I guess I can put a double check in it for the existenece of the file.
Also, I am not sure what the template is for that you have attached.

Could you guys click install if you installed it please.
