Convert [IMG] to [URL] in quoted text

[Hellcat]

OK, another quick one I made 'cause someone requested something like this and I didn't find it while looking for it :)
So, forgive me if something like this already exists.... :nervous:
(Point of reference) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=888709&postcount=24)

This one replaces all tags in quoted text with [URL] tags.
So, you and your users don't have to see the same image over and over again, and if you really forgot what the image was, just click the link :D

Installation:
Import the product .XML -> DONE :)


Like I said, a quick one.


[i]Update 1.20
By request, this now also adds an option to the UserCP where users can choose if quoted images should be converted to URLs or left as images.

UserCP -> Edit Options -> At the bottom of the page

[Tulsa]

Very needed, thanks.

[Daniel]

Indeed! Thanks.

[Omega Prime]

Another nice feature to have :)

Still in beta?

I did a quick test of a pic and quoted it and got this...

It appears to have doubled it, left the img tags and tacked on the url tags at the ends?

Do you have any other things installed that alter [IMG] tags or such?
Because there is no way this one could double it since all it does is replacing "IMG" by "URL"....

[Tulsa]

Not that I'm aware of? What else might alter img tags?

[Tulsa]

Maybe this was just some kind of fluke?? Someone on my sight just quoted a pic and it worked fine.

Update:
I'm not sure this is going to make any sense at all but it appears to only be happening when you are quoting a pic hosted from imageshack or photobucket??

Other sources of pics from other servers work fine?

[incurable]

gosh this is neat !!! i need it !!

[Zia]

yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I missed the fisrt post here...

Hellcat rockz like hell..haha

Thnx a Lot

* Zia Kliks Install... is there any way i kliked hundreads of time :D

[S@NL - BlackBik]

I was patiently waiting for this to be ported to 3.5 :)
Installed.

But it only seems to work on NEW quotes.
Excisting quotes with images in it are unaffected.
Well, it's better than nothing, but it would be cool if this could be made.

[Hellcat]

Indeed, this only affects new quotes.

The old ones will vanish quite soon on the mysterious "page 2" anyway ;)

[S@NL - BlackBik]

Page 2? Who the f*ck reads page 2? :D
You're right. Thanks for your reply.

[Snake]

Double thanks!

[Tralala]

I just imported this product .XML, and tried it on my board (running 3.5.3.) Tried quoting an IMG and nothing changed, it kept it as an IMG and didn't convert it to a URL. Any ideas?

Okay, I know what the issue is now. When people are using ImageShack or PhotoBucket to host pics, those services provide the links complete with the image tags to paste into a post, they are providing all caps tags and this hack is replacing only [img] tags.

I went in and edited both locations in the plug-in manager as a test and copied the code and duplicated it, replacing only the [img] with [IMG] (all caps) and it's now working perfectly.

I'm no coder and I'm sure theres a cleaner way to do this but as a quick test to determine the issue this worked rather nicely.


$pagetext = str_replace( "[IMG]", "", $pagetext );
$pagetext = str_replace( "", "", $pagetext );
$pagetext = str_replace( "", "", $pagetext );
$pagetext = str_replace( "", "", $pagetext );

[Hellcat]

Whoops, you're right....

I'll post an updated version laster today that is not case sensitive!

[lolo?]

thanks clic install

[dutchbb]

this is a great idea, will be using this thanks!

[Zia]

a new upgrade is comming very soon...
that will works with
[IMG] , [img] , [iMG] , [Img] any way ..new release will work with all..

Thnx

[Hellcat]

OK,here comes the update :)

I replaced the "plain search and replace" by a regular expression - resulting in case INsesitive replace :up:
So, [img], [IMG], [imG].... whatever, should be propperly replaced by [url] now.

To update, just re-import the new product .XML with the "allow overwrite" option enabled and you're set.

Thanks for the update, Hellcat :)

A pleasure (as long as some1 really uses it ;)) :)

[S@NL - BlackBik]

I sure am, and it's working fine :)

[EasyTarget]

hey if you are up for challenges hellcat, I have a good one for ya :p

It would be similar to this mod, but with a more general application. On my board there's lots of people that link to pictures from other sites. This is ok for awhile, but soon the original picture is deleted leaving the post with the signature x.

I was wondering if you could add to this hack or start a new one which would let the admin run a scheduled task every so often which would search all new posts for images and add when it finds posts with images it would find out if it was hosted at a remote site or not, and if it was then it would convert it to a forum attachment in that post or copy/host the image in a folder specified by the admin and relink the img tag to the new location. And if the admin can add exempt urls that'd be beneficial too I'm sure.

Anyways, just something I've had on my mind for awhile :p

[Julie]

Nice little thing, which is very much needed indeed! Thank you! :)

[Slacker]

Just what I needed! Installed, thanks!

Curious for feedback on this. Does installing this actually decrease load on the forum's server in any way, or is it more of an "aesthetic" decision?

(I realize it could speed things up for the user side rendering and display of image-heavy threads, but I'm of the mindset that it wouldn't have any effect, really, on the forum server itself. Am I wrong?)

That said, some users really don't like this. At all. Any chance it could be made a user-selectable option? That would please everyone, one would think.

[Hellcat]

This has no affect on the forum's server, except when most of the images are hosted on the forum server itself, wich usually isn't the case.

Adding an user option would be possible, yes.

Thanks, Hellcat!

To make it the default behaviour to display the images in quoted text and only convert them to URLs if so choosen, in the Plugin-Manager find the Plugin:
"Replace with in quotes (Apply Userchoice)"

Open it and replace the COMPLETE contents of the plugin with this code:
global $vbulletin;

$ufield = "field" . trim( strval( $vbulletin->options["img2url_ufield"] ) );

if ( $vbulletin->userinfo[$ufield] == "Convert to [*URL]" )
{
$text = preg_replace( "/\[[qQ][mM][gG]\]/", "[[i]url]", $text );
$text = preg_replace( "/\[\/[qQ][iI][mM][gG]\]/", "", $text );
} else {
$text = preg_replace( "/\[[qQ][iI][mM][gG]\]/", "[img]", $text );
$text = preg_replace( "/\[\/[qQ][iI][mM][gG]\]/", "", $text );
}

If the user didn't make any choice so far the images will be left intact now.

IMPORTANT: Please remove the "*" from the "[*URL]" in the IF clause.
I had to put that in there, or else the threaddisplay would mess up this post ;)

[Zia]

Nice.....we r implimenting it

This is exactly what we are looking for, but....

Is there any way another version can be done that does not have DB changes?

Please?? :)

[Boofo]

Michael, I use a bbcode tag [img2] for images I want to wrap text around. Will this have any effect on that? I don't want it to, if possible, sir. ;)

[Hellcat]

@jdebler:
This doesn't change the DB as far as I know....
Everything is done at runtime.

This only affects the original [img] tag, nothing else :)

Great! I was thinking you were just doing a replace for img and not looking for [img] (with the closing bracket). ;)

Another great hack by the Master! Keep up the excellent work, sir. ;)

Can u add features where

- It will not show any links at all at the edit screen
- it will not show links or image, just text at the "post screen"

Much appreciation if it can be integrated.

I'm getting Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /admincp/plugin.php(1306) : eval()'d code on line 3 while trying to install. It appears to be assuming that everyone is using mysql functions instead of mysqli.

[Darat]

Hellcat - Will you be making a 3.6 version of this?

[Darat]

Just a FYI - one of the keen eyed Members at my forum spotted a spelling mistake in the "field11_desc" phrase, it currently says:

With this option you can choose wether [IMG] tags in quoted text should be shown as [URL] (a link will be displayed instead of the actual quoted image) or should be left as [IMG] (the inline image will be shown).

That's the wrong "wether" - it should be "whether".

[EasyTarget]

what needs to be changed in the xml file so that this can be used on 3.6 boards?

[user02934123123]

Any chance of a 3.6 version? Just tried installing on vB 3.6.1, and encountered a db error immediately. Would love the hack, though!

[noonespecial]

Same - any chance of a 3.6!?

[EasyTarget]

*bump*
hellcat appears to be inactive but can anyone else who is knowledgeable post a fix for 3.6 please?

[Tulsa]

This is still functioning fine for me in 3.6.2

I just ran a quick test and the [img] tag was replaced with the [url] tag.
