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

• 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.

If you follow installation instructions it will work on a standard installation. If it does not work for you, I have no idea what would be causing this, since it does work for everyone else. If you're using a custom style, this may be the cause - make sure you uploaded to the correct folder, if your style uses custom ones.

Just upgrade to 3.5 and it is work great

Trying to add a break between photos. Right now as a member clicks images into the editor they stack one on top of another with no cell-spacing, border or break between them, like this....

Photo 1
Photo 2
Photo 3
Photo 4

I would like a space between photos like this.

Photo 1
<br />
Photo 2
<br />
Photo 3
<br />
Photo 4

The mod uses your $stylevar[cellpadding] and $stylevar[cellspacing] settings. If you have set those to 0 in your style options, that's how it displays. You can change that by editing the the photo_popup code, however. Change the values in line

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

to your liking.

Hello, for some reason the Quickreply template edit wasn't working for me. But, I fixed it (: Some others may have had this problem, so I'd like to share how I fixed it.

Original Template Edit Code:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>

<td> <a href="#" onclick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/photo_popup.php?$session[sessionurl]e=$editorid','fotos','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width={$vbulletin->options['photo_popup_width']},height={$vbulletin->options['photo_popup_heigth']}'); return false" title="$vbphrase[photo_popup_insertlink]">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/photo_popup.png" border="0" /></a></td>

Replace with my code:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>

<td> <a href="#" onclick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/photo_popup.php?$session[sessionurl]e=$editorid','fotos','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width={$vbulletin->options['photo_popup_width']},height={$vbulletin->options['photo_popup_heigth']}'); return false" title="$vbphrase[photo_popup_insertlink]">
<img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/28gqpfn.png" border="0" /></a></td>

Also, I do have a problem. I made the plug-in, as said in the other post, and I get a 404 error when you click "Go Advanced" and click on the button. I have experimented with it, and nothing I did could fix it.

If you could help, I would be very happy, thank you in advance (:

Installed, Nominated, and Voted (:

Only thing you changed is the image path to some external server place. If the original code did not work for you, it usually means you have not uploaded the provided icon to the correct place.

What plugin are you talking about? Please point me to the post you're referring to. Anyway, this mod does not mess with the Go Advanced button, so I'm pretty sure the cause for your problem will have to be looked for elsewhere.

I never came around to post a notice before, but if you like, you can still vote for this mod as mod of the month December 2009:

Sorry I dont want to be a pain but that's the code in the popup window.

What I was referring to was how the popup adds images into the editor. As a member selects images from the popup they are stacked into the editor much like my above post. Im simply trying to add a break between the posted images.

Maybe this photo will help explain it better.

Will there be a vb4 version of this mod? I imagine that vb4's asset manager will change this mod quite a bit.
