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.

Can you verify or was it just your user. If the approved field is not set to 1, it wont fetch the pic.

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.

Shure! Ok some of my pictures come up as x's yet they are in photopost. Has something to do with the thumbs or something. As for the template that is part of the webpage and guest book hack that you had nothign to do with! LOL.

but the combo of the two would be awsome. they use the normal smilie box but your text doesnt show up in anyform for some reason. the legend box does but no title nothing to click on.

the error is about the graphics that do not show. I think if I delete a file and re upload it or SOMETHING to this effect that error will ocurr. I have the latest photopost.

And another thing.... I was confused.... there is a photopost 5? I dont think there is....

To get the link to show up: You need to add the Geek_Gallery_Popup phrase to your phrasegroups on whatever other page you want this to appear on. Or you can take the lazy route and replace the $vbphrase in the link to just plain text.

PP5 isnt out yet, but this is already sorted for it thanks to MPdev

Like I said - ill put a filecheck as a safety net in those odd instances.

ok.. fair enough... not sure how to do exactly what your saying. Just to confirm I should have the phrase global?

is it just me or can other users click on photo's in the profile page after this hack?

At the top of each page is your $phrasegroup array. It needs to be in there (just refer to the file edits in the hack... they are all essentially the same: adding the phrasegroup.

This hack doesnt touch the profile page, in fact - it doesnt touch any page aside from adding the phrasegroup. I would double check any other hacks you have installed.
