Detailed features list

• see second post

Upgrade from vB3 version
Please uninstall the old version at AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Manage Addons. Also remove all files you uploaded for the vB 3 version apart from the editor icon, which will be reused. This will be /photo_popup.php and all /includes/photo_popup_config_[product].php files, relative to your forum root. Then follow the installation instructions below.


Installation

1. Extract the archive.
2. Choose the products you want to use and rename the configuration files in _UPLOAD/includes/cel/cel_pp_config from .php_new to .php
3. If you're using Photopost Pro, you need to fill in some crucial information into the config file. Please see the config file for more information.
4. Upload the contents of folder "_UPLOAD" to your forum root. Note how the folder structure mirrors the folder structure in your forum root, so every file will be in the right place.
5. Now the Photo Popup and your chosen product configuration files will be present with default settings on your server. Later on, you may want to make adjustments there.
6. Install the product file at AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Manage Addons.
7. Template edits?
   • If you are using new editor, you're done.
   • If you are using old Editor and Template Modification System (TMS), you're done.
   • If none of the above two conditions apply to you, do the template modifications explained in _DOCS/OLD_EDITOR_ONLY-template_edits.txt manually for the editors you want the popup accessible from.

Basic Configuration

• Global configuration is done via AdminCP->Options->Cel Photo-Popup
• Additionally, you can make settings and overrides in the seperate product config files. See "Product Configuration" in third post.

Upgrade

• If upgrading within the vB4 series, just reimport the product-xml-file, overwriting the old version, and reupload all files (skip the icon if you're using a custom one).
• Most times you will be done, but please check in _DOCS/config_file_versions.txt whether the config file for one of the products you use has been changed since you last updated.
• If the config file for one of your products has been updated, rename _UPLOAD/includes/cel/cel_pp_config from .php_new to .php and transfer your custom settings from your current config file to the new one. Then upload it to your server.

** Please note that the config files for Photoplog and CND Garage have not been converted. I do not have access to vB4 versions of those two softwares for testing and developing. Whether this will change in future, I don't know - at the moment, apart from having no software access, I'm very much out of time. Anyway, the config files are not too hard to figure out and there is a short introduction to adapting them. Please feel free to convert or develop for other software, if you like, and submit to this thread or to me personally by PM.

### Don't forget to click install! ###

You seem to be missing a phrase, at least. If you want to, provide me with AdminCP and FTP access via PM.

Ok new version works, thank you!

Woah, URL's are VERY long. Exceeding server limit, is there any way of shortening these??

I click on page 2 with Photopost integration and the link is 47,000 characters long!!

[cellarius]

Uh. Shouldn't be that long. I'll look into it. But just to know - about how many categories do you have (meaning: how many entries in the albums dropdown? That list is passed via get, but I'm quite sure you won't have > 1000 of them...

A LOT. Around 1250 to 1400.

hello,

I am having a bit of trouble with this mod, when I click on the image to place in post the popup redirects to my homepage and when I turned on code mode to get the bbcode or html code to paste I only get with no domain name? Any thoughts as to why would be very helpful, this is a very useful mod to have for any forum.

ps I am using albums only and original image as setting.

ps.: I have reinstalled everything and made sure about the template edits and when I click on an image to add it , it redirects me to the home page and same thing happening as before , there is no domain name before /forum/
