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.

thanks for your reply but i figured that out.

what i would like to know now if you dont mind is id like to add this to almost all the editors.

For instance when you edit your sig i would like this to be there. Could you tell me how?

I think its there in all of them isnt it? If not - its in all except signatures (pretty sure it is though!)

[Hades-1]

beleive me when i say its not, i installed it and it works great, but its not on the signiture editor.

[Hades-1]

ok in the signiture editor it shows just [] and nothing else

but it works when posting, editing post and everywhere else, i tried editing the phrases but thats not it.

so whats missing thats not allowing it to work on the sigs?

[The Geek]

oh right... im speaking from memory so excuse if I screw up

either change the phrase in the template modification to a hard coded My Photos or add the phrasegroup to the usercp page (just like the editthread phrasegroup addition)

Sorry I cant be more exact - im out of town right now Ill be back late tonight so if your still having problems let me know and ill double check the source and give you the exact instructions.

I managed to get everything changed for 3.5 however I can't get the install to work.

I had it previously installed and currently experincing this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function globalize() in /disk3/home2/web/beginner/fbody/geek-gallery-popup.php on line 27

I believe this can be made to work with 3.5 very easily

Yea, going to take a look at porting it over tomorrow.

Globalize is no longer used in vb3.5. Instead you use the GPC system. The DB object needs to be changed as well. Its not a very big mack so I doubt it will take too long. Ill see if I can do anything by tomorrow
