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.

Nothing is planned yet and I still am not sure about the categories thing. Right now Ive got several macks I am working on and to top it off, there is the impending vb3.5 which means everything needs porting over.

How about some help with BBCode vs HTML?

Is it written to know which you are using? Mine inserts BBCode no matter which is selected.

It will insert BBcode if you are using a standard editor

[dsboyce8624]

Right, but in the webpage editor you have the option of using html or bbcode.

This always inserts bbcode. I wanted to get it to know the difference and act accordingly.

[The Geek]

ah - I got you (I think). You are using a standard editor and you want it to insert the pic as html, not bbcode?
