Please note concerning upgrade to 3.0:
- the configuration process has changed. Old config files will be obsolete.
- the setting of products used in AdminCP has changed. Please review!
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. A click on the picture inserts it into the editor.
Works with
- vBulletin 3.7.x (tested on 3.7.4) and 3.8.x
- Photopost Pro 6.x (should work with older versions, too)
- Photopost vBGallery 2.4.3
- Photoplog (only lite version available for development, should work with Pro, too)
Detailed features list
- see second post
- Extract the archive.
- 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.
- 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. - Install the product.
- a) If you are using Template Modification System (TMS), you're done.
b) If not, do the template modifications explained in the next section 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. Thats all.
- From version 3.0 on, there are a seperate configuration files for the different product's settings. Your old config file for Photopost from version 2.x is obsolete.
- In version 3.0, the setting for products used in AdminCP has changed. Please review!
- Last change to the template edits was for version 2.1. So if you are on version 2.1 or later, there's no need to redo template changes.

Version history
- 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
- 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 improement/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, 19.1.2009
