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.

Is this possible whit the photo popup?

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

Ill look into sorting that out.

I am currently traveling on business and so I havent had any time to work on anything. Ill try to get to it when I get back into town.

Geek, when you get back, I am wondering if you might guide me in removing the option to paste the full size picture in - it is causing problems with larger images, and I would just as soon limit the options to thumbnails only, if that's possible.
Thanks again for the great mod! We love it.

Thanks!

The easiest way would be to edit the gee-gallery-popup template and remove the option from the code.

Will give that a shot...

... ok, after much trial and error snipping away, I got the last option for pasting in full sized off of there with the others still working. Phew. If I knew how or hard more time to experiment, I would try to just remove the whole menu and make the pics all default to 'insert thumbnail that opens to gallery page.' But I'll settle for this, for now... unless someone with more knowledge wants to take pity and help me out with this?? pretty please?

hmm mozilla doesn't allow for html insert but why not just make it insert the bbcode the same way the standard editor does ?

This works already in Firefox with the Geek gallery popup...as long as the editor is in standard and not enhanced mode.
