When creating or editing a post, your users can open a popup window that will show them pictures in the chosen gallery or albums. Now also supports attachments: Reuse what you uploaded! A click on the picture inserts it into the editor.

Works with

• vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x, vB Blog (probably anything that uses the vB editor)
• Photopost Pro
• Photopost vBGallery
• Photoplog
• CNG Garage

Detailed features list

• see second post

Installation

1. Extract the archive.
2. Upload the contents of folder "UPLOAD" to your forum root. Note how the folder structure in this folder mirrors the folder structure in your forum root, so every file will be in the right place.
3. a) If you intend to use only the vBulletin forums albums, proceed to step 4.
   b) If you intend to use any other gallery product, see "Product configuration" in second post.
4. Install the product.
5. a) If you are using Template Modification System (TMS), you're done.
   b) If not, do the template modifications explained in template_edits.txt manually.

Basic Configuration

• if you're using only vB albums, everything is done via AdminCP->Options->Photo-Popup
• Decide there how many rows and columns the popup table will have, what gallery products to use, which insert options you want to allow, activate code mode on a usergroup permission basis, or activate debug mode
• See "Product Configuration" in second post.

Upgrade

• Just reimport the product-xml-file, overwriting the old version, and reupload the photo-popup.php.
• Please check in config_file_versions.txt whether the config file for one of the products you use has been changed since last update.
• If the config file for one of your products has been updated, upload it from config files folder to your includes directory. Don't forget to take note of any any changes and settings in the old file and adapt the new one accordingly, if necessary.

Support and debugging

Ill help whenever I find the time. Before asking, please activate debug mode and post the information given there (especially under "Code". Please try the two links given - do they look "normal" and do they work? Debug information is only shown to Administrators (usergroup 6). Always state the products you use, including the software versions. Also read the infromation in the second post of this thread.


Hopes for the future
World peace, happiness, health and lot's of money


Version history

• Version 3.4 / 3.4.1: Album dropdown not populated if using mysqli,Photopost not saving medium sized images, Fix for PHP 5.3.0 related bug (bugfixes)
• Version 3.3 new/updated config file vBGallery (bugfixes); session-handling fixed; workaround for vbseo problem with Firefox in WYSIWYG editor
  • Important: template edits have to be redone!In every manually done template edit find: photo_popup.php?e=$editorid and replace with photo_popup.php?$session[sessionurl]e=$editorid
• Version 3.2 new/updated product config file vBGallery (bugfixes), some additional error checking and error messages, debug information enhanced
• Version 3.1 new/updated product config files: cnd garage (thanks to wottech for cooperation), photoplog categories, photoplog albums, photoplog, vBGallery; some additional cookie error checking; error checking in AdminCP removed; bugfixes from this thread.
• Version 3.0 code reorganisation: implemeting of new galleries made easier by outsourcing of the relevant settings and database queries into seperate config files; new feature: support for vBGallery and Photoplog (lite?) added; minor bugfixes
• 3.0.1 Important bugfix if you are using vB albums: wrong database query in config file. To fix this, it's enough to reupload photo_popup_config_albums.
• 2.2 New feature: 2 plugins to show correct location and activity in "who's online". Bugfix: Bit of unphrased German removed from template (in pagenav dropdown). For upgrade from 2.1 just import product file, no uploads necessary.
• 2.1 New feature: Code mode. Lets you see the corresponding bb- or html-code instead of sending the image to the editor. If your browser allows that, the code is also copied to clipboard. Bugfix: Fixed a problem where pagination misbehaved when working with vB albums
• 2.0 New feature: Support for quickreply and quickedit!
• 1.4 New feature: Three new insert-options: thumbnail, medium and original image not linked themselves, but with a link to the gallery/album in the line below. This should be especially interesting for the users of the image resizer mod.
• 1.3 feature improvement/bugfix: default popup size is now determined before opening, not after (window.resize method causing issues in Firefox). Auto-close of the popup now using the YUI Event Listener; the needed library is already part of vB's standard distribution. New feature: title bar with "close this window"-link.
• 1.2 new feature: popup closes after editing is completed; smaller changes in Layout
• 1.1 new feature:set popup window size, to go with your table settings; minor bugfixes
  
• 1.0 Initial release

Development and bugfix releases for config files
If the need arises, there will be development or bugfix releases of config files between official releases of this mod. The zip file attached to this post will always be up to date. At the moment, there are no development/bugfix-releases.

Hm, that's where I'm losing you: the code for the thumbnails is genereted by strtolower-ing the file extension, thus it is always lowercase.
Actually, the path and filename used to show the thumbnails in the popup window and for the insertion process come from exactly the same variable - they can not be different. Their extensions both have to be lowercase.
By the way: If I'm uploading an image that has a uppercase extension, vBG changes the original uppercase extension to lowercase.


That's what the script does at the moment, actually...


No problem, really. Since I do not use vBG in a productive environment, I don't have the ability to do such intensive testing. This way, sooner or later we'll get it goin'

So, after some more thinking, I decided to take more information directly from the database. All filenames - thumbs, originals, everything including extensions - are now taken directly from the database and thus should mirror exactly what vBG uses. If it works there, it should also work with this mod. Please test the attached config file and see whether it solves the problem. If not, please check whether vBG indeed saves original files with uppercase extensions (which it does not for me - and I was unable to find an option in the vBG settings, tho I did not look too hard) and provide the content of the debug table field for "Code".

Bad news my member who was having the red x problem for images with all lower case vs. all caps is now getting ALL RED X's after I put this new config file on the server.

I have asked him to capture the properties of the link it is trying to display so I can see what is going on and report it back to you.

[KenDude]

Ok he got back to me, the issue is the folder parsing again (I thought you fixed that??)

For example it is trying to display http://www.planetporsche.net/gallery...0261_thumb.jpg

When it should be displaying http://www.planetporsche.net/gallery...0261_thumb.jpg

The / between the 6 and 5 is missing. No my gallery is NOT running in safe mode!

[cellarius]

Grrr - it's just a ! too much

In line 148 of config file, change

if (!$safemode)

to

if ($safemode)

Works?

I'll see whether I can get this fixed.

Sorry, no luck:

vBSEO/Firefox issue
If vBSEO is active, in Firefox can appaear a phenomenon where the paths inserted into quickreply and quickedit editors (WYSIWYG only) have unnecessary "/../" or "/../../" in them. Although most of the times this does not prevent the correct display of images in the WYSIWYG editor, it can result in failure to do so. According to vBSEO support, there is nothing that can be done to prevent this. Anyway, as soon as the post is saved, this will be corrected by some vBSEO routine. After that, the paths will be correct.

If the user has photos in photopost and the vb albums will it show them all those pictures?

If the user has no photos anywhere, what is shown on the popup? Could you make it say, upload photos here first.

Please read the description and the features list of the mod at least...

Of course.

Not yet, considered for future. Discussed just just a few posts up.

[tekknikal]

[kylek]

New install or trying to install, keep getting this error - The configuration file "photo_popup_config_photoplog_categories " for this product is missing in [forumroot]/includes directory. Please consult installation instructions for this mod.

I have uploaded photo_popup_config_photoplog_categories to forum/includes and its there.

Using 3.8.2 and photoplog 2.1.4.8

And also we have our photoplog directory file called LP Gallery Does this matter also?

/forum/LP Gallery

So:
vB albums: ok
Photopost: not ok

for vb it says:

"You do not have any photos uploaded to the gallery or no images match the filtering options set."

You just said it was working ok with vB albums? Do you have images uploaded to a vB album?

i uploaded new pictures to photopost. same message.

Why should the no images message vor the albums change if you upload to Photopost? Or was the error message above all along for Photopost?

any help would be appreciated

Perhaps you could clarify...
