  • remember to add the product option "attachments" in your AdminCP when upgrading
  • make sure you reupload photo_popup.php

  • new config file photo_popup_config_cndgarage.php
  • if you're using CND Garage in a lower version that 2.x,

What does it do?

When creating or editing a post, your users can open a popup window that will show them pictures in the chosen gallery or albums. Now also supports attachments: Reuse what you uploaded! A click on the picture inserts it into the editor.

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.

• 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.

Can't have hundreds and thousands of 10 and 12 Megapixel photos on my server Now I've decided to wait for the albums system to ripen.

Concerning Photoplog: There is a light version, no? I might install it and have a look. I gather database stucture is the same with the pro version?

BTW - You'll have a PN in a minute.

If you have a current active Photopost license, then you have access to vbGallery, as they are both included in a single license now. Not sure when this happened, so if you haven't renewed your license recently, you may not have access to vbGallery. I was looking at it the other day, as I wanted to upgrade my current version ofvbGallery and found out I have to buy a Photopost license to get vbGallery now.

Version 2.0

As requested: Mod now fully supports quickreply and quickedit editors. Popup is called by means of a toolbar button. A fitting png icon, taken from the silk icon set, is included in the package.

Please note: For update to 2.0 it is mandatory to redo template changes. The information which editor is used is transported by url-parameter and will be missing otherwise.

Enjoy!

By the way: Thanks for Mod of the month nominations! Should anyone else feel inspired to click that button, don't let yourself be stopped

Finally we arrived at V2 - great. Your mod is a-w-e-s-o-m-e and should be a standard feature.

The addon debugger went on while I was testing the previously released v1.4. Gonna post the main part of its report here:

Code

<a href="#" onclick="thumbpaste('<a href=\'http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=34&amp;pictureid=294\'><img src=\'http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=34&amp;pictureid=294&amp;thumb=1\' style=\'border: 0\' /></a> ','[url=\'http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=34&amp;pictureid=294\'][img]http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=34&amp;pictureid=294&amp;thumb=1[/img][/url] ')"><img src="http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=34&amp;pictureid=294&amp;thumb=1" style="border: 0" title=""/></a>

Link to Original

http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=34&pictureid=294

Link to Thumb

http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=34&pictureid=294&thumb=1

Insert options

link_thumb_2_orig link_thumb_2_gallery thumb orig
Query     SELECT pictureid, albumpicture.albumid FROM albumpicture INNER JOIN album ON albumpicture.albumid = album.albumid WHERE userid = 1 AND albumpicture.albumid = 34

I just played around with your addon after upgrading to v1.4. I went to my testforum and clicked around the images to be inserted. Afted that I noticed that a <a> tag was wrongly set.

No serious problem for you I believe.

[cellarius]

@ Rene Kriest:

Hm, I might be missing my night vision goggles - but where do you see an <a> tag that is wrong?

The Code seems perfectly alright to me. Do you have any issues?

Originally, used the default of three and three for rows and columns, but have also tried three colums and four rows, seems like any row setting is ignored and it shows as many rows as needed to show all images in all albums, or will show all images in selected albums disregarding the number of rows selected to show. (although it does in fact filter album images selected by album name properly)

I will try to do a reinstall when I get home later, and let you know, but I did do an xml overwrite last night with the same resuts.

(still using v1.3 atm, fyi)

Thanks again

[vbboarder]

Yeah , support for quick reply & quick edit - thanks for the update!

Does this work with PHPKD's advanced quick reply & quick edit mods?

[Rene Kriest]

@cellarius
I inserted 2 pics with different options ("linked to orig" and "original" I think). The addons doesn't handle the posting this way. What the addon does not check seems to be spaces.

When I tell the addon to insert pic 1 with option a and insert pic 2 with option b I would like to see the pictures be handled this way in my posting but the result was that you could press on either pic 1 or 2 with the same result.

Now with 2.0 I habe the following: I inserted a pic with "thumbnail, linked to original" option first thing in my new posting. After that I started typing text in the text field beside the picture but the [URL]-bbcode is still open so that the text is going to be shown as a link.

No, have a closer look at the source that vb produces not the debugger to make it clear:

<a href="http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=1&amp;pictureid=3" target="_blank"><img src="http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=1&amp;pictureid=3&amp;thumb=1" border="0" alt="" class="tcattdimgresizer" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" /><img src="http://forum.depressionsblog.com/picture.php?albumid=34&amp;pictureid=308" border="0" alt="" class="tcattdimgresizer" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" /> </a>

There is a </a> missing, isn't it?

[wottech]

The </a> appears to be at the end of your quote, so it doesn't appear to be missing to me.
