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.

What does "some" mean? If some attachment's thumbnails show up, the paths are correct; if others don't, it's likely the thumbnails are missing.

[Front Range]

All the album thumbnails appear but the first 36 attachment thumbnails don't. I've rebuilt the thumbnails a couple times to no avail.

[Front Range]

Okay, the thumbnails are not an issue with your mod. It's an issue in Chrome but all show up fine in FF. I also noticed, as someone posted earlier, that the only way to insert multiple pics is to switch back and forth between the post and the popup because the inserted image remains highlighted. Clicking multiple images sequentially just replaces the previous image. This also only happens using Chrome but FF works correctly.

The obvious solution to me is to use FF. <G>

One real question: I see cndgarage as a product option but no config file, is this an omission or am I supposed to create the config?

[cellarius]

CND Garage was an Option for the 3.x version. I obviously have forgotten to remove it from the AdminCP phrase. Sorry.

[Front Range 4x4]

Meh, still a great mod. Thanks.

I love this mod, we use it a ton, but it's not playing nice with Marco1 image resizer, anyone integrate both?

[Jesh]

There is a current bug with this and 4.0.6.

If I go to any page other then 1-5 (try 11 for instance), it won't insert image with link below, it just inserts the link.

Hi friend Cellarius !!
I write from argentina

You can make a hack to the portal (CMS) where you see a main picture and below it are the other photos in a category, and that they can select with the mouse?
I leave you a sample site to see:

http://www.nature-inspirations.com/

I have installed Photopost Pro 7.02

You can make this integrated with PhotoPost or make a widget in the CMS to display the photos in this way?

Thank you very much for your help!
Horacio

Sorry, at the moment I do not plan to expand the functinoality of this mod - in fact, what you propose would be another mod alltogether. So, I'm sorry...

installed! woot!
