Imageshack & MEGAUPLOAD Uploader · **Released**: 02-06-2008

Hack Support

This hack is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored. You can now check out the 3.8.x version of this hack, as it also works with v3.7.5, v3.6.12 (and maybe even earlier versions).

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

NOTE: You can not change the language/text in either the Imageshack or MEGAUPLOAD embedded upload boxes as they are actually being hosted on their respective websites, and this hack can in NO way control that.

If you need support (they embed but don't upload, they are slow, etc), information (how they work, FAQ etc) in regards either of the embedded upload boxes, then you are best off checking out their respective websites, as I will not help you out there (you need to do the research yourself) - MEGAUPLOAD, Imageshack

vBulletin Version Compatibility

This hack can be used with v3.6.10 and v3.7.x. This has not been tested with earlier versions of v3.6.x, but should work.

What Does This Hack Do?

This is an update of my v3.6.x hack available here, with the added bonus of being able to upload files to MEGAUPLOAD.

The v3.6.x version of this hack has been listed on the official ImageShack's 3rd Party Tools page, and that links to the v3.8.x version of this hack - see ImageShack :: 3rdparty ::

This is an hack that adds the ability to upload image images to the Imageshack service and upload files to the MEGAUPLOAD service and be given a url to post in your posts to show your now uploaded file(s), it is available (if enabled) when creating a new thread, new post, editing a post, quick editing a post or doing a quick reply.

Both Imageshack and MEGAUPLOAD are controlled by the same permissions, but you can show one of them or both of them when creating a new thread, new post, editing a post, quick editing a post or doing a quick reply independently (via settings in AdminCP).

You can control the size and color of both the Imageshack (fully customisable) and MEGAUPLOAD (3 sizes and 6 colors) boxes from the AdminCP.

You do NOT need a premium account to upload using either Imageshack or MEGAUPLOAD.

NOTE 2: This hack works in total harmony with the latest version of Dannyloski's Photobucket Image Upload hack (Dannyloski, with my permission, used the base code of v3.6.x version of this hack to create his hack), so you can use Imageshack, MEGAUPLOAD and Photobucket all at the same time (if you choose to).

AdminCP settings for this hack available in vBulletin Options > Imageshack Image Upload.
Settings that can be changed are:

Usergroup permissions - which groups will see the Imageshack/MEGAUPLOAD Upload boxes
Choose which locations the Imageshack Image Upload box are displayed
Imageshack iFrame properties - size of the upload input field. The width, height and color (this setting will work instantly once the Imageshack developers fix this) of the iframe
Choose which locations the MEGAUPLOAD Uploader box are displayed
MEGAUPLOAD Embedded box properties - size and color of the embedded MEGAUPLOAD box

Note: If you have highly customised templates or styles and the imageshack/MEGAUPLOAD dialog box does not display after usergroup permissions are set, then you may need to manually add the contents of the imageshack template to the templates where you want the dialog box to appear.

Installation Instructions

Import ms_imageshack_upload.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager. If upgrading then set Allow Overwrite to Yes.
In the Admin CP, select vBulletin Options > Imageshack/MEGAUPLOAD Uploader, and change the settings to enter usergroups that you want to use this, which locations you want to display the imageshack and MEGAUPLOAD dialog boxes and change other settings to your liking.
Enjoy the new addition to your posting arsenal !!!

Uninstall Instructions

Uninstall the product in vB using the AdminCP Product Manager.

I'm having issues with the imageshack uploader. It pops up the file browser box fine, but as soon as I change the current directory (to choose a file in a folder other than the default directory folder) it breaks, causing the whole browser to freeze up such that I have to kill the browser Ctrl + Alt + Delete style. I've observed this in both Google Chrome and Firefox. The Mega Upload file browser box works fine.

The test system is VBulletin version 3.7.4 Patch Level 1, Windows Vista x64.

I have tried this hack in Firefox, IE, Opera and Chrome. I also have tried in both Windows XP and Linux. Also on local testbeds and also on a few live forums. I can not replicate this issue you are having.

Have you tried in IE? Have you tried from any other machines? Are any of other members having the same issue?

I suspect it your PC that is the issue, as this hack is installed on hundreds of forums and used by thousands (if not, tens of thousands) of users, and this is the first time that this issue has been reported in the two years since I wrote the original hack.

So, if it is causing problems for all of your members, you can always disable the Imageshack portion of this hack.

You can also ask on the imageshack website about it, as anything in the iframe is not hosted locally on your server - see note below:

Mosh, after some more investigation it's certainly looking like a problem with my computer now. I just tried to upload a file using vBulletin's standard attachment manager and found that I'm experiencing the same issue. This is both on my own forum and others. Anyway, I started up a virtual machine running Windows XP and found that the problem was gone when using it rather than Vista x64. Anyway, I'll look into the problem some more and make another post for the benefit of others if I find out what the problem is.

Cheers, Bryce.

Read Post #125 for your answer about rapidshare.

Hey Mosh, to be honest I'm not sure 100% what's causing the problem with the freezing browser. After restarting my system, I found that it worked perfectly with Vista x64. Then, sometime later I tried it and it wasn't working again. At this point I logged off and then on again, and that fixed the problem for a second time.

I suspect that something funky may be happening with the file system when the computer goes into and then back out of sleep mode. I've had some issues where my motherboard doesn't properly recognise a hard-disk of mine (even though Windows later does), so it's quite possible that I just have some very quirky combination of factors specific to my computer and possibly even the hardware that is causing it.

Either way, I'm guessing there's very few other people/nobody else out there who are affected by this issue.

Cheers, Bryce.

Please post this in the correct support thread (you are using the v3.8.x version of this hack) - link in first post, I will answer it in that thread. This thread is only for support for the v3.7.x version. Ensure you have marked the hack as being installed.
