New Posting Features - Photo Popup - Insert pictures easily from vB Albums, Photopost, vBGallery, Photoplog

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)

vB4 version available

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 history

• Version 3.5
  • new: supports attachments
  • new config file for CND Garage > 2.x
• Version 3.4 / 3.4.1: Album dropdown not populated if using mysqli,Photopost not saving medium sized images, Fix for PHP 5.3.0 related bug (bugfixes)
• 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.

Just upgraded from 2.0.1 to 3.0.1... Not sure why it's giving a database error.. I have tried removing and reinstalling. No luck.

I'm having trouble getting this to work with VB3.8.1 and Photopost 6.2. Here is the output of the debug stuff

That is all of it. The thing I found interesting is that Query Used product: albums bit. Any ideas?

I checked and double checked the paths to the gallery and the data directory and they are right.

Please provide more information. What product(s) have you configured the popup to use? Is it correct that you want to use the popup with Photopost?

At the moment its querying a Photopost Pro table that is not there: You don't have a table pp_categories in database called atxscene_atxscenedb. So your settings are wrong somewhere.

I'm sure this is due to wrong configuration either in AdminCP or the config file.

You have used the mod before with vB albums, that's why albums still is saved as used product in the cookie. Delete the cookie bbphoto-popup (prefix may vary if you changed vB's standard cookie settings) and restart your browser.

I'll check for this error in next version.

Sure did, sorry for no confirmation. Will check it out shortly, will be part of next release.

Question to all image resizer mod users:

As far as I can see, the mod handles linked thumbnails by means of a custom bbcode. Is that always the case?

So, would it be helpfull to make an option like:

enable Image Resizer Mod support [x] yes [ ] no

and if set to yes, all [img] tags in insert-options for linked images will be replaced by [imglink]? Or only in links to original and medium images, but not to album/gallery pages?

I do not have the imageresizer mod installed and will not do it. I'll better the cooperation with it if I can, but you'll have to help me on this

The Pro version has its own Image Selector which is controlled thru the selector.php file. It's a hidden feature so you don't need your Addon to get it worked. I wouldn't worry about it

I'm well aware of this feature of Photoplog Pro, and it has been discussed in this thread before. But there are people out there who would rather use this mod because it allows to use more than one product.

If or when I get around to have a detailed look into it, I do not know, since I do other things in life, too - but obviuously there is demand for this.

Seem to have a problem in the Admin CP when changing the Product settings.
I want mine set to:
photopost
albums

But it keeps erroring telling me that "I did not enter a valid value", but both of those values were that to start with, just in a different order.
