• 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
  • 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.

I use photoplog as a public gallery, i.e my members do not have permission to upload to it therefore I am the only one with an album on there.

Is there any way we can have an option for photoplog where it pulls all the images from the gallery and not just individual photoplog albums?

Try this (untested):

In your photoplog config file, find twice:

PHP Code:

WHERE userid = $userid AND moderate = 0" . $where_add . " 


replace twice with:

PHP Code:

WHERE moderate = 0" . $where_add . " 


This should show all images. If you want to show images of one user specifically, replace $userid with the userid of that user.

I'm getting reports about this sort of behavior from my users:

Now, when I switch to "Pictures and Albums," if I click on a photo to link to a challenge, etc, the little box with a red "X" shows up instead of the photo. However, if I switch from "Original Only" to anything else on the drop-down menu, and then switch back again, the photo shows up fine. Is that a glitch or am I doing something wrong?

Any ideas? Should I just rearrange the insertion options?

Are you using vbseo?

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.

Any ideals on this one? Thanks for your time.

Yessir. Is it causing the conflict? Can that be prevented?

Try editing photo_popup.php. Find

PHP Code:

// Add whitespace to codebits
        $codehtml .= " ";
        $codebb .= " "; 


Change to

PHP Code:

// Add whitespace to codebits
        $codehtml .= "<br /><br />";
        $codebb .= "\\n\\n"; 


Beware: This will add two linebreaks after every image inserted - no exceptions possible.

Actually, there should be a workaround in place for this issue, which only occured in Firefox, see version history for 3.3. More info should be available when searching this thread for vbseo or the like. Are you sure you're not running a photo_popup.php file version lower than that version?

Using 3.5 at the moment. I'll browse through the thread- thanks!

Perfect. Thanks.

One more thing. On the drop down of the popup is says photoplog. How do I change this to reflect the name of my photoplog (Gallery).
