PhotoPost BB Code Popup - UBB.Developers

PhotoPost Popup
This was an old 6.x mod that myself, JustDave, and Omegatron had all worked on at some point in time.

It essentially add's a button to the rich text editor panel (that shows in all post/reply windows) which launches a pop-up panel with a user's photos that are in PhotoPost.

Once a photo is clicked, bbcode is placed in the post window to link the image.

I need help

I follow your instructions. Seems to be simpel but it dont work.
I get the extra tab in the editor but click to it bring only an error in the java console and no popup window:

error: x is not a function
error: openPhotoPanel is not defined

Maybe there is missing a file in your archive or missing instructions?

Sorry about that. I left out this step in standard_text_editor.tpl

Around Line 14 find this

Code


var enterImage = "{$lang.ENTERIMAGE}";
var enterItem = "{$lang.ENTERITEM}";
{literal}

ADD BELOW

Code


function openPhotoPanel() {
	photoWindow=window.open('ubbthreads.php?ubb=photopost','photopanel','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=600');
	if (photoWindow.opener == null) photoWindow.opener = self;
}

I'll update the instructions and upload the zip again.[i][/i]

ok, this brings up the popup window. It shows the correct layout and the buttons work, but I see no photos from my user. I setup photopost.inc.php as it should.

Only one thing is unclear. You put this code in it:
$pp_url="http://www.mysite.com/photopost/"; //url to photopost install NO trailing slash

You say NO slash but put it yourself at the end. I try both version with my own url but see no images. I dont get any error message so I be connected to the database. Any clues?

found another little problem, but this doesnt solve my main problem. In photopost.tpl is a hardcoded path, I use an other path to my board. I change it for me.

ah, got it. I use a table prefix 'pp_' and this is need in front of 'photos'. Please add a config option for the prefix to in photopost.inc.php

I like to share an propper icon too

Next problem. The pagnation dont work. Seems to hardcodet to work with you board:

//Pagnation
$totalphotos = get_photo_total($user_id);
$TotalP = ceil($totalphotos / $pp_images);
$pages = $html->paginate($page,$TotalP,"tripreports{$var_sep}sb{$var_eq}$sb{$var_sep}sk{$var_eq}$sk{$var_sep}page{$var_eq}");

The result is an unuseable link like this:
http://www.dragonclan-forum.de/board/ubbthreads.php/ubb/tripreports/sb//sk//page/2

/edit: replace tripreports with photopost and it work as it should. Finished, well done.

Well, since I can't edit my original post, here is an updated zip file with all of zarzal's changes.

Allen/Admins... can we modify edit time in the Mod forums so we can update our original install files?

I upped the limit to something like 100k hours - need to write something to disable edit times for certain forums

Nice mod, some great images on your site

haha, he won't up it for me, but he will for you, sad panda :x

I wouldn't? Must be something you said

usually is

i asked very nicely.

Nice. One thing I noticed, $pp_prefix needs to be included in the global call of the functions or else the query doesn't see your table prefix. Thanks!

One more issue I noticed, in the photopost.tpl file, the URL to the javascript include is hardcoded with a ubb7 directory name, so clicking the image doesn't find the updatePost function until you fix this url.

Thanks! Quick note, in the v 0.2 zip file photopost.inc.php, localhost is misspelled on line 12.
Now, for me (running UBBT 7.1b5) it opens a window that says "My PhotoPost Pictures", but there are no pics displayed, just the heading and then the two buttons at the bottom. When I go directly to my photopost install, I am logged in and have pix in my gallery. Any thoughts on why it's not finding any pix?

Are your server logs showing any errors?

And did you apply my two fixes above? I had the same problem (blank no photos) until I made those minor adjustments.

Hi Josh, I did the javascript/URL fix just now. The $pp_prefix already seems to be in the v.2 zip file version of photopost.inc.php, and as a test I just hard coded "pp_photos" in place of the two occurrences of the variable in the page as well, but still just a popup with some options but no photos.
Allen, my server error log is empty... which is actually kinda weird, considering I must have some broken image links or something somewhere in my thousands of pages.

This need an update to work with 7.3
After I take a look to the beta4 code I see changes in templates/default/standart_text_editor.tpl and /ubb_js/standard_text_editor.js that need to review by someone. The way javascript is handled was changed a little bit.

Anyone have time to do it? This is one of two things that stopped me right now to bring my page on 7.3

If i had a copy of PhotoPost to work with I'd gladly give it a shot; but unfortunately I prefer Gallery as it's free

With me the update has run without problems and PhotoPost BB Code Popup functions without problems!

ok. Sounds fine. I will see if 7.3 ist released. Do you encounter the same problem as Moers here?
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/206547.html

He say that he only can upload pictures as admin. Do you can test it and report back in the thread?

It dont work anymore with 7.3 release. I get permission errors. Anyone use it successfully with 7.3 final version?

If I try in my browser a direct call with ubbthreads.php?ubb=photopost it work but If I click the icon in the editor I get a permission error.

It would also very nice to include it in the picture button dropdown of the editor.

I found the problem. In /templates/default/standard_text_editor.tpl is the following code:

Code

{literal}
function openPhotoPanel() {
	photoWindow=window.open('ubbthreads.php?ubb=photopost','photopanel','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=600');
	if (photoWindow.opener == null) photoWindow.opener = self;
}
{/literal}

The problem: there iss missing the base dir in front of ubbthreads.php?ubb=photopost. For a workaround I hardcode it for me like this: /board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=photopost
This work.
But what ist the propper way to enter it inside a function? I try {$config.BASE_URL}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=photopost but this dont work. Who can help?

I just installed Photopost on my testing site (ubb v7.4.1) and am getting the popup window with no pictures in it as well.. I have tried the fixes above and can not seem to figure it out.

Allen I have checked out your site and love the way you have it working, that is one of the reasons we bought Photopost.

The site I am trying to get it working on is http://testing.firstgenmc.com/ubbthreads

Thanks,

Ian

What popup do you mean? We have them in a Content Island, but no popups.
