Integration with vBulletin - Photobucket Image Uploader

This Modification works in both vB 3.6.x and vB 3.7.x

Introduction:
Well this is my first official "hack" for vBulletin :up:, so cheers to me! Anyways, I want to apologize in advanced if for some reason this post or the instructions are not clear enough - I am trying my best to explain as elaborate as possible. With this being my first modification, I have dedicated a lot of time and effort into it and I can say that I am 99.9% sure that there are no bugs with this hack, as I have tested it numerous times - but we all know how that goes ... With that said, if you do find a bug or something, just let me know and I'll look into it. Also, I want to thank Mosh for letting me use his ImageHack as a Framework for mine, thanks bro!

NOTE: This hack works in total harmony with the latest version of Mosh's ImageShack Image Upload hack.

I have a feeling that most of you left "0" in there. What the "0" does is "not force any usergroups". What that means is that no usergroup will be able to use the Hack, basically if you enter "0" there, then you are disabling the Hack completely.

I think that this is the solution to most (if not all) the problems for those who were claiming that this hack wasnt working. Please enter the Usergroup IDs and report back if it works for you or not.

PS. Some of you might be wondering how I figured this out, well one of the members on here who installed this Hack and was having problems, sent me a PM with Admin Login Info into their site and upon checking out the settings, this was the problem. They forgot to enter the Usergroup IDs in the specified Setting. I entered "6" for the Usergroup ID to test if Administrators could view the Hack and voila, it worked!

Version History:

• v1.0
  • Official "Hack" Release
  • No known bugs
• v2.0
  • Page no longer jumps to the Top when clicking on the "Display" or "Hide" Text.
  • Using vBulletin's fetch_object() function instead of document.getElementById() to take advantage of vBulletin's Browser Compatibility features.

Special thanks to Code Monkey for assisting me with the Code Fixes for v2.0 ... Now this Hack rocks even more

You need to clear your Browser's Cache (all if it) & Flush your DNS. This is a server-side issue with Photobucket, not with the Modification. This is Photobucket Support Team's response ...

When i click to open on newthread its opening but i am autoamtically redirecting to Forumhome. What can be the problem....???

[Dannyloski]

^ I do not understand, can you explain a little better so that I can help you out.

[GrAveTzT]

Hey, this looks like something that would be an excellent benefit for me.

I'm having a little problem though.

I've installed it and went to the vbulletin settings but once I was finished there is no change whatsoever when I post or create a topic.

Is there something I may have missed?

[Dannyloski]

GrAveTzT, did you turn the Hack "On" via the Settings (First Option)? By default it is Off.

After you have it enabled, you should see this when Posting a Reply, Making a Thread, etc (depending on where you enabled it):



After you click that Link this should display:



Or if you're already logged in to PhotoBucket or Have it Saved to your Cookies, it will automatically log you on, like so:

[GrAveTzT]

Thanks Danny.

I did end up getting this to work there was a CHMOD problem.

Excellent addition to my forum.

[Dannyloski]

GrAveTzT, no problem. I'm glad to see you got it sorted and that its an excellent addition to your forum :up:

[ArnyVee]

I must be missing something. Probably something simple too. I've got it to the point where I've imported it, but it's not giving me any special options to enable other than the four in my attachment. Do I need to go somewhere outside of the Photobucket Image Upload setting group?

[Dannyloski]

ArnyVee, now you need to enter the Usergroup IDs of those who you wish to be able to use this Hack/Mod in the "Allowed Usergroups" Setting ... If you do not have anything there then it will NOT work (read the below quoted post for more info).

Ahh...okay. So, since I haven't assigned any usergroups yet. Is there like a 'default' to test things out or something?

I'm a complete newb, so be gentle.
