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.

4.1.7 here.. and same as above...greyed out in standard editor...
which for the most part is what my users use...
need to get this to work in the standard editor please...

[Talk-Pets]

Has anyone made this work in 4.1.8? Any help appriciated....

[foxystoat]

Also would like for 4.18, had this before the upgrade - was ace.

[dwwright]

I'm running 4.1.8 now, but still have the greyed out icon.

Also, be sure to fix the syntax of the plugin.js noted earlier or it will break the editor for IE7 or anyone running compatibility view on IE 8 or 9. Seems to break the uploader on Chrome as well.

[Autotraker]

Installed, broken in 4.1.8, uninstalled.
Guess you haven't worked all the bugs out yet.
No button at all in standard editor.

[AusPhotography]

4.1.8 works ok with Enhanced Editor

I've extended it to support our Photo competitions system - very easy!

One minor issue is that on a dark skin the pop-up select text is dark.

Eg. from an instruction post on our site...

[Moncha]

I have it partially figured out for vB 4.1.9 ...
During the install, the script doesn't install a phrase that generates the "My Photos" link. Found on line 202 in the "product-cel_photo_popup_4-1-002.xml" file.
I added the phrase manually.

Then on line 326, The code for the link needs to be added to the editor_smiliebox template. The script doesn't replace the template like it is supposed to either.

That takes care of the link that is supposed to be under the "More" link for the smilies.

I can only get the editor button when as said before, placing the editor in the enhanced configuration by way of the usercp. But the text link works no matter.

Hope this helps for someone to re-write the install script for the plugin

[Delfi_r]

installed, but not working on 4.18, i suppose it's a missing link in the icon. I'll wrk on it and waiting for an updated install.

[rbc1225]

Dang, just what I was looking for but I am running VB 4.1.10 and afraid to load it due to no updates on this since 6-12-11 so I assume since it has not been fixed for 4.1.8 it won't work for 4.1.10?

[bluebare]

Installed on 4.1.10, it fubared my custom skins, removed the video posting button from Forum editing menu.... Then when I tried to deinstall it, it messed up the templates. I really enjoyed this mod in the past but this just turned me away from it.
