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

Important!

Old editor (vB 4.1.3 and below): use 4.0.008!
New editor (vB 4.1.4 and above): use 4.1.00x!

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! ###
(No support if you don't)

Thank you very much! finally it's here will install it tonight... klicked Installed, MOTM and rated 5 stars!

OK, here's some info about the CMS issues. Because of those the photo popup mod is at the moment not officially supported for use in CMS.
The editor does somehow change the urls of the inserted code and thus breaks links, and it does try to convert attachments/album pics into [attach]-code, which does go wrong somehow. If you want to try for yourself, do the same edit as for every other editor to vbcms_editor_toolbar_on, which will make the popup available.

Irgendwie funktioniert die Zusammenarbeit mit Photopost nicht

Hab die cel_pp_config_photopost.php zwar angepasst, aber ich bekomm beim Aufruf im Editor immer einen DB Fehler.

Hier mal meine cel_pp_config_photopost.php

/*##########################
##### Special settings #####

// The values for the following settings can be found in Photopost Administration

You should post in english, if possible, as this is the language of this forum I have a PPP setup with a different database up and running. To help you with a database error, it would be helpful to know what the error says.

As stated I do not have access to Photoplog. I don't say it won't happen, but at the moment there are no concrete plans.

Hello I am trying to do photopost only integration. My gallery is rather large:

http://www.coinforums.com/gallery

Do I need to set public ID's for this in config_photopost? If so, where can I get this list?

Right now I click on the insert image icon, and it says I have no photos uploaded


Thanks
