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.

This mod is awesome, I have been waiting for something liek this since I upgraded to vb4 and the old geek gallery one died.

Is it possible to move the icon and place some text below the editor are, for example like how the "Restore Saved Data" is display in the attached screenshot?

Thanks again for all the work,

-Jason

That might be possible, but I havn't looked into it. I may do so for a future version, but won't promise anything.

Thanks again for the reply, would it be possible now to just add a larger button, say right about the smiles?

Thanks again for the work,

Ran into a minor bug with ckeditor and photopost. When adding the original image from photopost my test turns white. I have to manually change it to do black to see anything posted after the image.

Before the image its fine...

Thanks alot mate

[Scalemotorcars]

Any ideal why my text shifts to white after adding photos? I cant seem to debug it.

[cellarius]

Hi,

this may be because of the image seperator workaround for the new editor. Try turning it off and see if that resolves the problem.

I'll look into this for a new version, but that would be some time off, I fear. Atm I just can't find the time...

[Scalemotorcars]

Thanks cellarius.

I cleared that field in the option and its working now.

FYI, Im also using the ncode image resizer here on vb.org and it adds the space automatically but only to resized images. So as long as its a big photo it still looks clean.

Love this mod, but I have a small issue (and I'm sure its user error )

I have "Show Albums" on, and I can see the dropdown off my albums just great. However, when I select and album it does not update the photos that are displayed. It does change the URL though...

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
