Geek Gallery Popup for vBadvanced Gallery or PhotoPost 4 or higher

IMPORTANT:
Please note that I can no longer support this project. Primarily as it is designed for vb3.0.x and I no longer use that version (im obviously on vb3.5x ). There is a version for vb3.5 over here . This project is left here for the community.
-----------------------


Inspired by mpdev's photopost popup modifcation.
I used photopost and had his modification installed. When I moved from photopost to vBadvanced Gallery, I needed the same type of hack - so here it is!

This lil doofer is designed to allow your users to open up a popup window while creating a post. The popup window will display all of the users images in thier gallery (vba or photopost) and allow them to click on an image to insert it into their post (inline). They can insert the image as a thumbnail, large image, or a clickable thumbnail that will open the large image in a seperate window. The real cool thing here is that all this works no matter which editor they are using.

You must have vBadvanced Gallery installed and working or PhotoPost 4 or higher duh.

Difficulty: Easy
File modifications: A few (only for phrases).
Time: About 5 minutes
Sign: Libra

Known issues:
Mozilla wysiwyg editor does not allow for html inserts which limits their options to thumbs or original pics only.

Change Log
v. 3 Update 20/2/05
Rewrote most of file to include support for PhotoPost. You can now set up your installation to use either vBadvanced Gallery or PhotoPost 4 or 5. This is determined by the settings in your geek-gallery-popup.php file. Special thanks goes to MPdev for helping sort out the PP integration.

v.2.01 update 11/2/05
fixed mozilla support

v.2 update 3/1/05

1. Added a couple more insertion methods
2. Tidied up UI big time
3. Auto sized popup window
4. Finished the phrasing (found a hard coded phrase)

v.1.1 updated 21/12/04

1. Added phrasegroup additions to newreply, newthread and private as phrases were not appearing there (easy edits).
2. Made the $mediaext easier to edit (types of images allowed in popup)
3. Fixed typo in template that always showed the Next button (took me ages to find the stupid thing)
4. Fixed Back phrase as it was overwritten during the install
5. Fixed problem where in non wysiwyg editor, the clickable thumb was screwing up

To upgrade: Follow instructions in the Readme

Make sure you click the freaking Install button. Otherwise you will run the risk of being skipped over in my Christmas Card Mail Out.

Thanks. But, I am back to report (with a clear conscience) that the other mod does not appear to have been involved, and I still get nothing but a 404 error when I try to run the script... has anyone had success with this, or is it just me? Is paid installation available? This looks like a great mod and would be a great addition to my new gallery ....

SO let me get this right.

You have uploaded all files to their correct locations.
You got to forum/admincp/geekgallerypopup_install.php and then you get a 404 error?

Is there a version of this that works with vB 3.0.6? I've installed and I don't see the pick from gallery option. (I noticed that the smilies are in a drop down instead of in a separate panel...??) Do you have instructions on how to mod the files by hand?

Thanks in advance -

it works on 3.06.

Did you do the file changes in the readme?

Ok just installed this on 3.0.6 and got it working.

There was one error

In geek-gallery-popup.php Line 157

  if (!

Needs to be removed. Not sure how it got there because it wasn't in v2.

Also need to
* forum/editpost.php
* Open up your forum/editpost.php

find:

$phrasegroups = array('threadmanage', 'posting');

Change to:

$phrasegroups = array('threadmanage', 'posting','Geek_Gallery_Popup');

This adds the phrases to the edit post section.

Otherwise works perfectly.


vcross sounds like you havn't done the editor smilies part of the hack. You might also need to do this

Languages & Phrases > Phrase Manager > select Phrase Type: Geek Gallery Popup > edit a phrase then save it with out a change

This usually activates the installed phrases if they arn't appearing.

Yeah, I got it working after removing that too.. I didn't notice the editpost.php thing, so thanks for that.

Does anyone else experience a lot of lag with this though? I have about.. 30 images (but they are large files) and it takes about 30 seconds to load the popup and pages..

havn't got it on the live site yet so that will be the tester really. Won't happen till next week though.

Ill look into updating the package to fix that. In the meantime - everyone just use the fix mentioned above.

As far as the speed, I havent really noticed anything significant. When I update the package ill look back at the code and see if there is something laggy (shouldnt be though as the select would be the only thing that slows it down and that is limited to 12 rows per page.

There is just the one file, the install file, listed in step 1, yes? Says upload the one file and then run it, then go to the file mods.... ?
I never made it past running the install file... maybe I am missing something really obvious?
