Geek Gallery Popup for vBadvanced Gallery or PhotoPost 4 or higher

IMPORTANT:
Please note that I can no longer support this project. Primarily as it is designed for vb3.0.x and I no longer use that version (im obviously on vb3.5x ). There is a version for vb3.5 over here . This project is left here for the community.
-----------------------


Inspired by mpdev's photopost popup modifcation.
I used photopost and had his modification installed. When I moved from photopost to vBadvanced Gallery, I needed the same type of hack - so here it is!

This lil doofer is designed to allow your users to open up a popup window while creating a post. The popup window will display all of the users images in thier gallery (vba or photopost) and allow them to click on an image to insert it into their post (inline). They can insert the image as a thumbnail, large image, or a clickable thumbnail that will open the large image in a seperate window. The real cool thing here is that all this works no matter which editor they are using.

You must have vBadvanced Gallery installed and working or PhotoPost 4 or higher duh.

Difficulty: Easy
File modifications: A few (only for phrases).
Time: About 5 minutes
Sign: Libra

Known issues:
Mozilla wysiwyg editor does not allow for html inserts which limits their options to thumbs or original pics only.

Change Log
v. 3 Update 20/2/05
Rewrote most of file to include support for PhotoPost. You can now set up your installation to use either vBadvanced Gallery or PhotoPost 4 or 5. This is determined by the settings in your geek-gallery-popup.php file. Special thanks goes to MPdev for helping sort out the PP integration.

v.2.01 update 11/2/05
fixed mozilla support

v.2 update 3/1/05

1. Added a couple more insertion methods
2. Tidied up UI big time
3. Auto sized popup window
4. Finished the phrasing (found a hard coded phrase)

v.1.1 updated 21/12/04

1. Added phrasegroup additions to newreply, newthread and private as phrases were not appearing there (easy edits).
2. Made the $mediaext easier to edit (types of images allowed in popup)
3. Fixed typo in template that always showed the Next button (took me ages to find the stupid thing)
4. Fixed Back phrase as it was overwritten during the install
5. Fixed problem where in non wysiwyg editor, the clickable thumb was screwing up

To upgrade: Follow instructions in the Readme

Make sure you click the freaking Install button. Otherwise you will run the risk of being skipped over in my Christmas Card Mail Out.

No problem. I provided that code for another hack, too. I wonder why no one uses it.

In template editor_smiliebox_quickreply add at the end:

	<fieldset id="photobox" title="My Photos">
	    <legend>My Pictures</legend>
	    <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
	    <tr>
	        <td class="smallfont" colspan="$vboptions[smcolumns]">[<a href="#" onclick="window.open('geek-gallery-popup.php','geekgallery','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=550,height=500'); return false" title="Pick">Open</a>]</td>
	    </tr>
	    </table>
	</fieldset>

<if condition="$show['wysiwyg']">
	<script type="text/javascript">
	<!--
	// init the WYSIWYG smilie box
	open_smilie_window($wysiwyg);
	//-->
	</script>
</if>

I was wondering is it possible to do in the next version the option to show images by a category that they are in and to chose to show all image or just my images so i can pick an image and post it in the forum from sombody else and if this could be a usergroup option.

[greenhybrid]

Those would be great ideas. Not two minutes ago I had to upload an image for someone (as the admin) and then was unable to use the popup to stick the thumbnail in a post.

That could be a little difficult - well - not as much difficult as just really time consuming. Ill see what I can do though. Saying that - I wont even get to the next version until my next couple of hacks are completed.
