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.

hotwheels:

http://www.insanemustangs.com/home3/...elby_thumb.jpg doesn't exist.

What is the correct URL to nav to that file? Somewhere in the GEEKPOPUP SETTINGS, you have the folder location listed incorrectly.

[hotwheels]

it seems that my file is calling for: http://www.insanemustangs.com/galler...itts_thumb.jpg

and it should be calling for: http://www.insanemustangs.com/galler...itts_thumb.jpg

and i don't know why? I have the file set to call http://insanemustangs.com/gallery/files and for some reason when i execute it, it installs the /1 after files.

[hotwheels]

k, still working on this one and have hit a dead end.

In the geek pop-up php, these are the setting's i have:

//$gallery_path is the URL (with no ending space to your photo system
//for photopost: "http://www.YOURSITE.com/photo"
//for vBa: "http://www.yoursite.com/gallery"
$gallery_path="http://www.insanemustangs.com/gallery";

//$data_folder is the folder (relative to the above URL where the images are kept.
//for photopost:
//$data_folder="/data";
//for vBa:
$data_folder="/files";

now when i click on the open in my post reply area, i get an error www insanemustangs.com/gallery/files/1/1.image

I am not putting that /1 right after the word files. I cannot figure out how to get the geek popup to quit calling that /1.......if you check the links i posted above, you will see that when the /1 isn't called, it show's the image.....

please please help me figure out how to get this damn /1 out of the geek pop up php call......

bueller, bueller......anyone?

[hotwheels]

just incase anyone want's to look and see how i have the file set up, here is the actual file.
As you can see, i am don't have a /1 anywhere in this file, but yet it keep's calling for it. Say's i have an error on 198, which is no http addy.....it wouldn't have the addy if it would just call for the /files instead of /files/1 ......

[hotwheels]

bueller? bueller? anyone?

Hotwheels - do you have a rewrite rule (ie a SEO mod)?
the /1 folder is your userid. vBa (and I think PP if I remember right) sticks your images in a fodler structure based on your userid.

For instance, if my user id is 118 then it will put my images in IMAGEROOT/1/1/8
For you its most likely IMAGEROOT/1

I have never known PP or vBa to put all images in the root of the folder.

By the way, I have been out of town the since the 28th

[hotwheels]

thanks for the reply...........this has been very frustrating........i have tried everyone of the geek_popup.php file's........the popup show's, but i either get the 198 error or there just isn't any images.........here is a shot of the last one i updated last nite:

// ### VBA SETTINGS ###

// IF using vBa Gallery - uncomment the following block and set variables

$photo_system="vba"; // Tells system you are using vBa gallery (other option is pp for photopost
$gallery_path="http://www.insanemustangs.com/gallery/files"; //URL to vBa gallery root
$gallery_server_path="/home3/hotwheel/public_html/gallery"; //server path to above URL
$data_folder="/files"; //Root folder containing images note leading /
//### END VBA SETTINGS ###

This one has the popup box, no picture's and there is no error shown on the page. As there was with the other .php file i tried.

do you have a rewrite rule (ie a SEO mod)?

and i have no idea what that is.....none. I am not very good at php, but i have managed to get most program's to work within my site. Usually i find if i am having problem's, it's a me issue, but this one......i just don't know, i have gone over and over this one and just can't get this program to work........

and i hope wales was awesome...........went to bath when i was a kid, was a great place to visit...
