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.

Bugfix release 4.1.002!

Thanks to kilgor who gave me access to his forum the issue with the editor buttons not showing up for some users has been resolved. Please install the new version and let me know if it indeed fixes the problem for you.

Additionally, you can delete the deprecated file clientscripts/ckeditor_config_cel_pp.js

[kilgor]

now it works! Thanks a lot for your support!

Working very well, thanks!

Here's a suggestion. While the popup window is open, allow us to drag the image from one source (say attachments) into albums and so on. Could you imagine the flexibility that would bring to all these media storage systems.

I'm using 4.1.4 is there a reason why the button works for admins but is grayed out for Moderators and Registered Users.

I have a possible problem.
I use Photopost.

When inserting pictures it seems to be using the wrong URL.

http://myurl/forums/photopost/data/520/IMG_6814.JPG

When in fact it should be..

http://myurl/photopost/data/520/IMG_6814.JPG

So it's inserting the forums bit which is obviously vB path.
However in the cel_pp_config.php the settings are correct. It seems to be ignoring these.

// Full URL path to Gallery: http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/gallery/
//
$url_path = "http://myurl/photopost/";
//
// Full URL path to Data Dir: http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/gallery/data/
// Look for this in PP-Administration->Global Options->URL to PhotoPost data directory
//
$data_dir = "http://myurl/photopost/data/";
//
// Table prefix. pp_ is the default setting.
// You may have changed this on installation of Photopost Pro.
// Look for this in PP-Administration->Edit Config->PhotoPost Database Prefix
//
$db_prefix = "pp_";

Don't know why but it's now working.

Any idea what's wrong with this plugin in IE7? When installed, the editor is completely gone in IE7. Doesn't happen in newer versions of IE or other browsers...

[akke]

Problem resolved already. It was related to a JS error in clientscript/ckeplugins/cel_pp/plugin.js

Search for

icon: BBURL + '/' + IMGDIR_BUTTON + '/cel/cel_photo_popup.png',

And remove the comma at the end to resolve the IE7 issue

One little Problem after Update.
I have no link "My Photos" and the Button for PopUp has no description text.
Otherwise as always very good work- Thank you

[cellarius]

The my photos link is gone in the new editor. There's only the button, sorry. I'll think about adding it back for future versions if it is wanted.
