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.

with this php file,
//$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";

//$defaultmethod determines the default insertion method.
//valid values are: gallery, thumb, large, clickthumb
$defaultmethod="gallery";

// END GEEKPOPUP SETTINGS

I get the 198 error: Warning: getimagesize(http://www.insanemustangs.com/galler...05_thumb.jpg): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /geek-gallery-popup.php on line 198

and if you cut and paste that http and take out the /1, it show's the image.

The 198 error is saying that your path is technically wrong. According to your DB, thats where the gallery file SHOULD be, but its not.

If you want to PM me an admincp account, ill look into it for you

First to all of those who had the [] problem where nothing shows up, I got it working by running the installer again. Everything worked fine after that, except a stupid little problem I cant seem to fix:

the popup window resizes too small, and it looks really weird. I have this problem in both Firefox and IE, tried changing dimensions but didnt work. Interesting that 12 pictures are shown IN A ROW without any breaks. Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Im running Photopost btw

I just realized that the problem occurs only in Default Style! it works perfectly with the rest of my skins on both browsers.
I really have no clue since the code is the exact same!

same thing here I asked about that a long time ago. I think its a lost issue. Might have to update I dont think this is supported. Not sure though... it may be but I doubt it.
