New Posting Features - Cel Photo Popup - Insert pictures from vB Albums, Attachs, Photopost, vBGallery

Important!

What does it do?

When creating or editing a post, your users can open a popup window that will show them their pictures in the chosen gallery, albums or attachment system.


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.

### Don't forget to click install! ###

We've tested on IE and FF...its a bizarre issue...the way it performs, I almost think its a VB issue and not this product... I look forward to the new editor.

I've tested this and that's not the case. if I post a thumbnail linking to the main image and then open that thread it will say i'm looking at the attachment before I even click on the thumbnail. Same for full size inserted images - it'll say viewing attachment

here's the bit from img alt in wol

/attachment.php?attachmentid=13539&thumb=1

when viewing a thread with the thumb of attach 13539 (not clicking on thumb)

and here the source of the thread

<a href="http://www-----.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13539" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.----.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13539&amp;thumb=1" border="0" alt="" /></a>

I don't get it. Maybe it's some other mod conflicting as no-one else seems to be affected.

Not a big deal anyway. Just wondered was it a known issue or just me. Cheers

Edit: There is another issue: Atm, there is not a single hook present in the new editor. W/o hooks, I won't be able to insert a button into the toolbar.

many thanks for that mod Cellarius,
was just looking for something similar and found exactly what i`m looking for :up: (in your Sig )

Will try it as soon my upgrade is done from 3.x to 4.1.x, really appreciate to see you are working on the new Editor as well :up: ...and i believe "they" are working on a bug fix and new hooks(JIRA)
will test than the donate function as well ;-)

Cheers, Markus

[cellarius]

Hooks are already in place, thanks to everyone who voted and to Freddie for implementing them (I have an alpha version that has them already ). The other bug I mentioned is also being worked on, so

I see no cel popup link or image button on my site. I'm running vb4.1.3

[cellarius]

Then you did not do the template edits or you did them wrong. Also, please click "installed" to get further support.

Marked as installed. Didn't see the templates edit file until you mentioned them. My bad.

[cellarius]

Glad you got it running.


For everyone interested: I have a nearly complete version for the new editor running on a test installation of mine
Only limit: The insertion of a space between the images does not work in the new editor - it gets automatically cropped when the code is transferred. For the moment, there seems to be no way around that

Looking forward to the new version. A great mod for a forum, thanks much for your efforts.
