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.

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.

no. I am saying in IE only all pictures become clickable. profile page it stood out becuase your not supposed to beable to click on the avatar's ect.

Not just the profilepage. No hacks installed this month besides yours.

On my drop down menu I only see two options. is that correct?

You only get 2 options if using non IE browser. THis is because mozilla browsers, etc... do not support inserting HTML. Therefore you can only insert images - not hyperlinks. This is a limitation to mozilla wysiwyg editors. THis problem doesnt occur if they are using standard editors.

*I think this is what you are asking *

msimplay - sorry, havent gotten any further (been very busy) . Am going to PM MPdev to see if he can help as he is the PP guru.

Well, the issue is that the img tags being inserted are the ones to the actual images. If you wanted to use the watermark.php script as you do in PhotoPost, you would have to modify the IMG tags being inserted to use the watermark.php link similiar to PP.

However, I believe vB has an option to prevent URLs from being used to insert scripts as dynamic images. You'd also have to probably turn this off to make this work (if I recall the option correctly).

I don't mind doing anything to get it working but what exactly wouldthe steps be and also what are the implications in allowing what yououtlined above

[MPDev]

I don't have the exact code you'd need to place in the file, like I said, you'd have to modify the script to use the watermark.php sciprt in place of the URL to the actual image.

As for allowing dynamic images, I'd say that you should research the issue. I'm not sure that its really a bad thing, but others may disagree and I wouldn't want to tell you to undo something that may be a risk to your site without knowing more about it myself. (Even dynamic scripts can be used when its disbaled, such as my signature listed below).

Hi, a question. If I open the simile popup window and click on a smilie the smilie will be set in the message an then sets the focus back on the popup.

onclick="opener.insert_smilie(this, 630); self.focus(); return false;

Is this possible whit the photo popup?

On the moment the popup windows disappears behind the main windows I you click a image.

Yeah you got it.
Listen I set u up but you never logged back in.
since WE ALL have photopost anyone here think they cam mix up a cron job that checks if a user exists. if they DONT and they have a photopost picture delte it.

and send us a email of what was done.

I know nothing to do with this hack but that would be cool. you remove a user but the photos still sits in photopost. Kinda annoying.
