Whats new in Version 3.5

• now supports attachments
  • config file will be installed automatically (from folder UPLOAD/includes)
  • remember to add the product option "attachments" in your AdminCP when upgrading
  • make sure you reupload photo_popup.php
• new config file for CND Garage 2.x
  • new config file photo_popup_config_cndgarage.php
  • if you're using CND Garage in a lower version that 2.x,
    • and you're upgrading: just continue to use the old file
    • and you're doing a fresh install: delete the new config file, and rename photo_popup_config_cndgarage.php.old (remove the .old)

What does it do?

When creating or editing a post, your users can open a popup window that will show them pictures in the chosen gallery or albums. Now also supports attachments: Reuse what you uploaded! A click on the picture inserts it into the editor.

Works with

• vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x, vB Blog (probably anything that uses the vB editor)
• Photopost Pro
• Photopost vBGallery
• Photoplog
• CNG Garage

Detailed features list

• see second post

Installation

1. Extract the archive.
2. Upload the contents of folder "UPLOAD" to your forum root. Note how the folder structure in this folder mirrors the folder structure in your forum root, so every file will be in the right place.
3. a) If you intend to use only the vBulletin forums albums, proceed to step 4.
   b) If you intend to use any other gallery product, see "Product configuration" in second post.
4. Install the product.
5. a) If you are using Template Modification System (TMS), you're done.
   b) If not, do the template modifications explained in template_edits.txt manually.

Basic Configuration

• if you're using only vB albums, everything is done via AdminCP->Options->Photo-Popup
• Decide there how many rows and columns the popup table will have, what gallery products to use, which insert options you want to allow, activate code mode on a usergroup permission basis, or activate debug mode
• See "Product Configuration" in second post.

Upgrade

• Just reimport the product-xml-file, overwriting the old version, and reupload the photo-popup.php.
• Please check in config_file_versions.txt whether the config file for one of the products you use has been changed since last update.
• If the config file for one of your products has been updated, upload it from config files folder to your includes directory. Don't forget to take note of any any changes and settings in the old file and adapt the new one accordingly, if necessary.

Support and debugging

Ill help whenever I find the time. Before asking, please activate debug mode and post the information given there (especially under "Code". Please try the two links given - do they look "normal" and do they work? Debug information is only shown to Administrators (usergroup 6). Always state the products you use, including the software versions. Also read the infromation in the second post of this thread.


Hopes for the future
World peace, happiness, health and lot's of money

• Version 3.3 new/updated config file vBGallery (bugfixes); session-handling fixed; workaround for vbseo problem with Firefox in WYSIWYG editor
  • Important: template edits have to be redone!In every manually done template edit find: photo_popup.php?e=$editorid and replace with photo_popup.php?$session[sessionurl]e=$editorid
• Version 3.2 new/updated product config file vBGallery (bugfixes), some additional error checking and error messages, debug information enhanced
• Version 3.1 new/updated product config files: cnd garage (thanks to wottech for cooperation), photoplog categories, photoplog albums, photoplog, vBGallery; some additional cookie error checking; error checking in AdminCP removed; bugfixes from this thread.
• Version 3.0 code reorganisation: implemeting of new galleries made easier by outsourcing of the relevant settings and database queries into seperate config files; new feature: support for vBGallery and Photoplog (lite?) added; minor bugfixes
• 3.0.1 Important bugfix if you are using vB albums: wrong database query in config file. To fix this, it's enough to reupload photo_popup_config_albums.
• 2.2 New feature: 2 plugins to show correct location and activity in "who's online". Bugfix: Bit of unphrased German removed from template (in pagenav dropdown). For upgrade from 2.1 just import product file, no uploads necessary.
• 2.1 New feature: Code mode. Lets you see the corresponding bb- or html-code instead of sending the image to the editor. If your browser allows that, the code is also copied to clipboard. Bugfix: Fixed a problem where pagination misbehaved when working with vB albums
• 2.0 New feature: Support for quickreply and quickedit!
• 1.4 New feature: Three new insert-options: thumbnail, medium and original image not linked themselves, but with a link to the gallery/album in the line below. This should be especially interesting for the users of the image resizer mod.
• 1.3 feature improvement/bugfix: default popup size is now determined before opening, not after (window.resize method causing issues in Firefox). Auto-close of the popup now using the YUI Event Listener; the needed library is already part of vB's standard distribution. New feature: title bar with "close this window"-link.
• 1.2 new feature: popup closes after editing is completed; smaller changes in Layout
• 1.1 new feature:set popup window size, to go with your table settings; minor bugfixes
  
• 1.0 Initial release

Development and bugfix releases for config files
If the need arises, there will be development or bugfix releases of config files between official releases of this mod. The zip file attached to this post will always be up to date. At the moment, there are no development/bugfix-releases.

So my question is when we can expect a stable version where is isnt needed to update daily.
Ofcourse I understand that it is needed to update sometime, but daily????

If you don't mind the occasional bug and don't need new features, I don't force you at gunpoint to update. Just don't do it, if you don't like it.

Wich template is this?
I like to put this code in to it.

PHP Code:

<!-- Pop-up Image Window -->


<td><div class="imagebutton">
                    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
                    <tr>
                        <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>

        <td> <a href="#" onclick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/photo_popup.php?e=$editorid','fotos','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width={$vbulletin->options['photo_popup_width']},height={$vbulletin->options['photo_popup_heigth']}'); return false" title="$vbphrase[photo_popup_insertlink]">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/photo_popup.png" border="0" /></a></td>                    </tr>
                    </table>
                </div></td>
<!-- Pop-up Image Window -->

OK...weird question, this now pretty much supports all the galleries...Which gallery would one suggest someone use? Photopost, vbgallery or photoplog? I've used vbgallery and never had a problem with it, but I haven't really kept up with them lately.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do. Do you want to show the icon in the main editor instead of the standard Link? If so, just say so, instead of posting code and then leave us guessing...

I myself use Photopost, but won't comment on this question here. Don't know whether the support thread for this mod is the right place for this discussion. This forum might be better suited:

Well I was more asking along the lines of this mod and how it works with all of them and different experiences..

[thcf]

Please donate me a license of Photoplog Pro, and I will make it working

Sorry, mate, just can't do it as long as I have no chance to install it here on my local testing board, to see what the database structure looks like and how categories and stuff work.

Ah, o.k.

Let's see: I'm on Photopost Pro at the moment (and reasonably happy with it; I'd perhaps change to Photoplog, but my users are used to Photopost, and there's no possibility to import). I do have access to vBGallery through my Photopost license and thus can take care of eventual database structire changes etc.
That would be safe options to use as long as this mod is concerned. vB albums anyway - obviously I have this installed

Photopolog, as just mentioned in the other post, still is a problem, though, since there seem to be issues with the pro version that at least I can't fix without access to the product.

But there might just be someone out there who owns Photoplog Pro, wants to use this, too, and has some coding experience. The structure of the config files is not hard to figure out (I explained it somewhere in this thread, too) and manages to do another config file for photoplog pro, leaving the existant one for Photoplog lite.

That's right , I want to place the script on the main editor , what is the name of that template?
