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

• Version 3.3 new/updated config file vBGallery (bugfixes); session-handling fixed; workaround for vbseo problem with Firefox in WYSIWYG editor

• 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.

Hi,

Using latest vbulletin and the default albums that comes with it. Uploaded the files in upload properly, installed the packaged, configured the settings. I manually did the template edits - tried the button, link, and quick reply - and can't get any of them to show - what am I missing?

Thanks!

Then you're not using a heavily modded style or have other mods that change the editor templates. The template edits as they are do work.

Please read "A note on "conflicts" with other editor/quickreply/quickedit mods" in the second post of this thread. If that does not help you, you'll have to offer more information.

Thanks for the response. I found the conflicting package "GTSMILEBOX". I searched in templates and found the application was overwriting the editorbox with the following: editor_smilebox_GTSMILEBOX_3700 and editor_toolar_on_GTSMILEBOX_3700. I edited these two and the icons promptly showed! However, I still can't get the quick reply button to show up - but these aren't as big of deal.

The problem I am having now - is once I click the button or link - the window shows with my images. When I click any of the images - nothing happens - nothing gets tranferred to the post window - no errors - just absolutely nothing. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Please try to search this thread for solutions at least. This answer is just one page back:

Does this apply?

Hi,
I forgot to mention I did read that and I do not think that is the case.

When I click the button in the main editor, the URL of the window that pops up is: photo_popup.php?e=vB_Editor_001

The images show up perfectly in the window, when I click any of the images, the URL adds a # on the end of the vB_Editor_001. I copied and pasted the template edits so I don't think I made a mistake there?

OK

When I click the button in the main editor, the URL of the window that pops up is: photo_popup.php?e=vB_Editor_001

That's correct - so the template edits for the link are correct.

The images show up perfectly in the window, when I click any of the images, the URL adds a # on the end of the vB_Editor_001.

That's normal. This is because of the underlying javascript.

Sorry, but then I don't have any hints at the moment. I can only suspect that this other mod does something to the editor that this mod does not like. If you want to, you can send me AdminCP-access to your forum (and tell me where I can run some tests), I'll have a quick lock. Perhaps I can work it out.

Thanks for all your help! Mod is working great now and I have nominated it!

Excellent mod guys! Make sure that your domains completely match.

i.e. http://google.com is not the same as http://www.google.com - and can cause errors in this mod and others! Make sure you forward http://site to http://www.site !!

Thanks again! Will have a donation coming your way ASAP!

[cellarius]

Glad we were able to work it out - and thanks for nomination (and donation )
