Whats new in Version 3.5

• now supports attachments
  • config file will be installed automatically (from folder UPLOAD/includes)
  • remember to add the product option "attachments" in your AdminCP when upgrading
  • make sure you reupload photo_popup.php
• new config file for CND Garage 2.x
  • new config file photo_popup_config_cndgarage.php
  • if you're using CND Garage in a lower version that 2.x,
    • and you're upgrading: just continue to use the old file
    • and you're doing a fresh install: delete the new config file, and rename photo_popup_config_cndgarage.php.old (remove the .old)

vB4 version available

What does it do?

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 3.5
  • new: supports attachments
  • new config file for CND Garage > 2.x
• 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.

No idea what happened there? I added the two lines from the new one to the old one and uploaded that and I seems to work now.

Added lines:

    <p><b>Albums possible</b>: " . $albums_possible . "</p>
        <p><b>Albums override</b>: " . $albums_override . "</p>

Somehow the file you downloaded got corrupted, probably during down- or upload. I changed the attachment to a zipped version, perhaps that's better. Please redownload.

The debugging is somewhat more than just the two lines of code you pasted in - this just triggers the output of the results, and even at that part you missed some crucial stuff. You have to use the complete new file, I'm afraid.

[cad2go]

Redownloaded the zip :
Still getting the same error - content type in ff, and Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

[cellarius]

This has to be a problem on your end, that is: locally. I have this exact file running on my server and test-server. Flush your browser cache and try again.

If you uploaded the file to
http://www.rletc.com/forum/photo_pop...=vB_Editor_001
that works just fine for me in any browser.

You can try:
- create a new file in your favourite text editor
- copy the contents (all of it) of my file over
- save it as photo_popup.php
- upload.

That was the old one - I reupped it in the meantime. The new version is up now.

Tried all that.

It's only when the e parameter is there that the encoding error happens, without it the page loads with your error.

e.g http://www.rletc.com/forum/photo_pop...=vB_Editor_001 (encoding)
http://www.rletc.com/forum/photo_popup.php (Photo Popup Error #2: editor undefined)

[Dstephan]

Any chance that this will be made to work with vbpicgallery?

I really have no explanation for this encoding error. Besides from that, there are two php errors on that page before the gibberish, and those errors tell me that the query for the albums indeed return a empty result set. So the problem is not with the parsing of the data afterwards, but with querying the database. This leaves me at a loss, really - since the query does work perfectly for me

To investigate this further, I'd have to have full access to your forum (with an Admin-account so I can see the debug info), including FTP and probably database/phpMyAdmin.

That would probably be possible, but I have never used it and do not own a license.

yhpm - thanks for the help

[cellarius]

Just so you know: Thanks to cad2go giving me access to his forums the problem has been hunted down at last. There will be a bugfix release shortly.

This will (hopefully) fix all problems with the albums dropdown for all products. If I am on the right track, everybody experiencing this should be on mysqli, not mysql. Making proper adjustments should take care of it finally
