What does it do?

When creating or editing a post, your users can open a popup window that will show them their pictures in the chosen gallery, albums or attachment system.


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! ###

Nope. Next build will use the datastore instead. This should resolve any issues. If you want to try on your forum, use the attached photo_popup.php

Any thoughts as to why would be very helpful, this is a very useful mod to have for any forum.

Please be patient, one after the other
No, this file would not help you, since you're having completely different issues. Your problem is from a fix that was introduced into the vB3 version because of a problem when vbseo was activated. See attached a class files that disable this fix for albums and attachments - it might no longer be necessary. Please try, and if possible, just make a post for me in some test forum of your board, insert some images and link it here or send the link to me. I'd like to have a look wheter that bug is still present. I don't have vbseo on any of my testboards. Thank you!

New one works, thanks.

When I insert image with link to gallery image, should it be linking to the actual gallery URL?

(e.g. should clicking on image send user to www.coinforums.com/gallery/ [imageurl?]

[kawe]

we can CHECK LIST on Image

[cellarius]

I do not quite understand what you are requesting, but additional features are not likely at the moment.

[cellarius]

What keeps you from clicking on another image, and another, and another? You can insert as many images as you want.

yess

after click 1 image, then click another not work
in my EDITOR MESSAGE don't show another [img]
just 1

[cellarius]

Sorry, I'm not really sure what you want to say... as soon as you click on an image, it goes to the editor. You click the next, it goes to the editor. And so on. It it is not like that for you, you need to give more information. If it is, it's working as designed, and I just don't understand what you are missing.
