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)

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.

• 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.

Works great! A critical add to my photography community site...

[Konstantinos]

any ideas why the popup shows the latest uploaded img first for me but for other users the order isnt right (photopost pro)

[cellarius]

3.4.1.: Fix for PHP 5.3.0 related bug. If you don't use PHP 5.3.0, there's no need to update, if you do, just reupload photo_popup.php

[yotsume]

Upgraded.... My only hope is that one day somehow the thumbs, med, or original images can be linked with no text and there not be a conflict with that Tcat image resizer mod.

[Tom_M]

Excellent mod and just what I've been looking for. I wonder if it's possible to modify the code so you can have a community album? The reason for wanting to do this would be to let members select photo's for birthdays, get well soon, and things like that, instead of hunting round the net to link to stuff.

Regards,
Tom

[cellarius]

Try this:

In photo_popup_albums_config.php around line 40 change

WHERE userid = $userid

to

WHERE userid = $userid OR albumid = XY

where XY is the id of the album you want to share.

Also change around line 77

WHERE userid = $userid " . $where_add . "

to

WHERE userid = $userid " . $where_add . " OR " . TABLE_PREFIX ."albumpicture.albumid = XY

Untested, might work. Note that the images of the shared album will also show up if the user selects "Show all my images" in the albums selector.

Please let me know if that works.

[Tom_M]

Thanks cellarius, I'll give a try and let you know how it turns out.

Regards,
Tom

Strange.

On my site, this only works when there is no www in the URL. So it works correctly with uselessforums.com but not www.uselessforums.com. I couldn't find anything in the first post about this, nor by searching the thread. Thanks for any help.

Here is the debug info:

Use .htaccess to use one domain only (yes - www.domain.com and domain.com are different (sub)domains). You should do this anyway for SEO reasons; in this case there's nothing that can be done (that I'm aware of), since all modern browsers don't allow javascript injection of data across domains (and that's basically what you're trying to do, since the popup internally uses the domain you have set in your AdminCP for the forum).

The different (sub)domains is something I need on the forum because I have a lot of couples who post. One is logged into one domain and the other is logged into the "sub" domain. Is it not possible to use /album.php rather than {bburl}/album.php (or however that works, I forget)?

Since no one else has reported this problem, maybe I can just fix it for my forum...
