HA! I would never have thought of this! thanks alot man

/me installs

[Creed]

Nice, will use thanks!

There is a typo in the template addition, it should be quickhost_bits instead of quicksighost_bits. Other than that, works like a charm!

[msimplay]

thats great thanks

[Guest190829]

Creed I will do the edit on the install file, Thanks for finding it. :)

Yes, but that hack host's the sig on the actual board this hack has Image Shack provide the hosting. ;)

Yep i'd prefer it if the image wasn't hosted on my own server it just increases server usage

[Guest190829]

I made the corrections to the install file ;)

this is a good hack but this is mostly helping imageshack get more money from their ads :ermm:

[Guest190829]

this is a good hack but this is mostly helping imageshack get more money from their ads :ermm:

And in return,they host lots of signatures and other images. It all works out in the end. ;)

Nice idea ;) Good job Danny.VBT

Not a problem, and this is a great idea. Makes it much easier on the layman end user :)

yes they get help from their ads but the less you have to host on your own server the better
I've seen other image hosting companies and they have bandwidth restrictions and even charge for their service
Image shack is among their best i've seen

[Guest190829]

Yes, that's the main reason why I made this hack. There is no point to increase my bandwith for a signature. ;)

[nexialys]

hum... please focus on the utility of your hack instead of advertising a hosting device, or i will report your thread as an advertising that is not suitable to the policies of this site.

thanks.

[Guest190829]

Sorry, I was just explaining the advantages of my hack over the one you provided. I didn't mean to advertise.

EDIT: I also removed the name of the hosting company from the title, as it's really not needed and may seem like advertising.

[bigcurt]

lol NO MATTER what anyone else thinks this hack is awesome no sense in wasting space for a signature. That is why Imageshack is here.

Could we change the 'host it' button to say 'Host It' and 'patience during upload' to 'Have patience during the upload..'? I'm quite anal about correct grammer and the such, and couldn't find anywhere to change it.

Its odd that you would say that, considering you spelled grammar wrong ;)

However, you can necessarily change what the template says...as its actually being hosted from imageshack's site :)

[bahawolf]

Hehe, thank you. :smoke:

[Creed]

Actually that was supposed to say you "can't" change lol ;)

[Guest190829]

Yeah, since it's a iframe to the code we don't have access to change it.

[Glenn379]

I've been waiting for this hack for a LOONG time! Thanks so much!

>> I have a problem though, please refer to the pic

Well I looked at it after you put this link out and tried that one since I'm friends with the guy who made it. Although it seems quite impressive it had big errors in it. Thus far the support for the thread hasn't been coming through very well. There is still coding erros in the tables and so on which he hasn't fixed.

This one worked for me and its great :)

EDIT: Besides that color error which is still there heh

[Guest190829]

This one worked for meand its great :)



Thank you Glenn, I'm glad you like it.

Here's the solution to your problem.

In the quickhost_bits template find

<iframe src="http://www.imageshack.us/iframe.php?txtcolor=111111" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" width="280" height="70"> You must have an iframe-compatable browser to view the ImageShack.us upload form

In the actual source of the the iframe a.k.a

<iframe src="http://www.imageshack.us/iframe.php?txtcolor=111111"


Change the 111111 to whatever hex code used for text on your forum. Sorry I didn't mention this before.

-Danny.

[Glenn379]

That changes the text color, I'm looking to make the black BG change

[Guest190829]

Okay even though we fixed this over aim, for others who might have this problem...

just change the class in


<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">Need Your Image Hosted? </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="fieldset"> $vbphrase[quicksighost_intro] </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>$quickhost_bits</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />


change it from tborder to whatever class you want.

~wow~

Danny, i wondered whether you could improve this imageshack signature uploader to include Size dimension limit, how many images permitted, whether text is allowed and if so how many lines.

There was another signature mod but i liked the idea of members uploading to imageshack so i choose this.

[Guest190829]

Well that would be a different hack entirely. I, or any other person, have no control on how many images are allowed to be hosted onto image shack.

What was the other mod, if it isn't involved with hosting a sig it should be compatible with this one.

[Kei Kurono]

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=63841" target="_blank">https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=63841</a>

But it has an upload sig.

Your mod instead has an image shack upload.

But i'm sure that even if the image is hosted on image shack, it won't let them use it if the sig mod says you can use anything over the set dimensions.

It's not good policy bantering at everyone of the members that ther sigs are too big x_x; imho.

[Guest190829]

Well since my hack only provides hosting and that you want to have sig limits also. I think LimeWire's hack would be better IMHO, since I don't have the time to incorperate it into my hack.

[Kei Kurono]

;( *sniff

[yoyoyoyo]

thanks for sharing

** clicks install **

[loftyasianz]

thanks danny this hack is awesome! do you think that in the future there might be an expansion in this hack that will allow for member picture host/ post image host/ etc? like something that's not just limited to sig hosting.

thanks in advance,
warren
