Integration with vBulletin - Imageshack Image Upload

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. But not to worry, you can now check out the new 3.8.x version of this hack which will work with v3.7.x, as well as with v3.6.12 (and maybe even earlier versions).

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

NOTE 1: You can not change the language/text in the Imageshack box as it is actually being hosted on their website, and this hack can in NO way control that, so please do not ask.

NOTE 2: I only provide an easy way of integrating Imageshack into your sites, and I am only providing support for the vBulletin integration.

If you need support, information (how it works, FAQ etc) in regards the embedded upload box, then you are best of checking out their website, as I will not help you out there (you need to do the research yourself) - Imageshack


vBulletin Version Compatibility

This hack can be used with both vBulletin v3.6.x and v3.7.x.


What Does This Hack Do?

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

This hack has been added to the official ImageShack's 3rd Party Tools page - see ImageShack :: 3rdparty ::

You do not have to do any template changes like all other versions of this available here, and there is no release for this for v3.6.x.

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

1. Usergroup permissions - which groups will see the Imageshack Image Upload box
2. Choose which locations the Imageshack Image Upload are displayed
3. iFrame Upload Field Size - size of the upload input field
4. iFrame Width - width of the iframe
5. iFrame Height - height of the iframe
6. iFrame Text Color - color of the iframe (this setting will work instantly once Imageshack fix this, see post #33)
7. Auto-Template Search Text - leave alone unless you know what you are doing

Installation Instructions

1. Import product-jd_20070405.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager. If upgrading then set Allow Overwrite to Yes.
2. In the Admin CP, select vBulletin Options > Imageshack Image Upload, and change the settings to enter usergroups that you want to use this (no usergroups can view the imageshack dialog box by default), which locations you want to display the imageshack dialog box and change other settings to your liking.
3. Enjoy the new addition to your posting arsenal !!!

Note: If you have highly customised templates or styles and the imageshack 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. Check out post #70 for simple instructions.

Yes, I disabled it because is Very Slow!!

A Bug: Also the Frame in the Quick Reply Mixes with the similar Mod of PhotoBucket Upload Image!!

But the Critical point is the Loading Speed of the Imageshack Frame!!

My Best Regards!!

What is the url to this photobucket hack? Is there a problem when the photobucket hack is disabled? If not, then it is not a bug, it is a conflict with another hack.

The imageshack iframe load time I can not do anything about at all, I did not write it.

Do you use a custom style?

If you do, you probably need to make the tempate inserts manually, as my hack is looking for $attachmentoption or </fieldset>, depending on the location the ImageShack box should show up.

What do I edit in then? And where?

Thanks.

You will need to add the contents of the imageshack template, to the locations you want to display them in the editpost, newreply, newthread and SHOWTHREAD templates.

That is as far as I can help you, as if it is a custom style you need to work out for yourself where the the code needs to go, as this works fine with the default style and that is what this hack has been tested on.

Okay thanks, but I tried adding this (like you said to):

$attachmentoption

And it keeps coming up with another attachment bit.

$attachmentoption is what my hack is looking for to do the auto-template injection , and not what you have to add to the templates.

You need to search for $attachmentoption in the editpost, newreply and newthread templates (search for </fieldset> in the SHOWTHREAD template) and add the contents of the imageshack template after it.

This is as simple as I can go with the instructions.
