New Posting Features - Imageshack, MEGAUPLOAD & Photobucket Uploader

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


IMPORTANT NOTICE: This hack has now been discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates as this thread is no longer monitored. I am also not interested in doing paid work requests to update this hack at all.


What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
This is an update of my v3.7.x hack available here, with the added bonus of being able to use this with private messages (vBulletin v3.8.x only) and enabling dialog box locations per usergroup via usergroup permissions (no longer centrally, so allowing extra flexability). This hack is now fully phrased.

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

With kind permission from Dannyloski, I have now fully updated and integrated his Photobucket Image Uploader hack (which was itself, with my permission, based on my Imageshack Image Upload hack for v3.6.x.) into this hack (as of v3.8.004).

This is a hack that adds the ability to upload images/files to the Imageshack, MEGAUPLOAD or Photobucket services 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
• when creating a new post
• editing a post
• quick replying to a post
• creating a new private message (vBulletin v3.8.x only)
• quick replying to a private message (vBulletin v3.8.x only)
• replying to a private message (vBulletin v3.8.x only)

The Imageshack, MEGAUPLOAD & Photobucket dialog box locations are controlled independently via usergroup permissions.

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

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

With MEGAUPLOAD, you can enter your premium account license key (if you have a premium account) in the AdminCP options (see post #57 for more information).

If you allow your members to use Photobucket, your members will need to registered with, and login to Photobucket to be able to upload files to Photobucket.

AdminCP settings for this hack available in vBulletin Options -> Imageshack, MEGAUPLOAD & Photobucket Uploader.
Settings that can be changed are:

1. 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
2. MEGAUPLOAD Embedded box properties - size and color of the embedded MEGAUPLOAD box. You can also enter your premium account license key if you have one (see post #57 for more information).
3. Photobucket Embedded box properties - size and color of the embedded Photobucket box.

NOTE 1: If you have highly customised templates or styles and the imageshack/MEGAUPLOAD/Photobucket 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. If that does not work, you are on your own.

Usergroup permissions for each usergroup are available in Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager.
Settings that can be changed are:

1. Choose which locations the Imageshack Image Upload box are displayed (as of v3.8.002)
2. Choose which locations the MEGAUPLOAD Uploader box are displayed (as of v3.8.002)
3. Choose which locations the Photobuck Uploader box are displayed (as of v3.8.004)

vBulletin Version Compatibility[hr]hr[/hr]
This hack can be used with v3.8.0, v3.7.5, v3.6.12 and later versions. This hack should also work fine with earlier versions of v3.7.x and v3.6.x.

For the v4.0.x version of this hack - check here.

ImageShack works fine on both

how can i fix MEGAUPLOAD box on Firefox?

It works fine in Firefox, I use Firefox as my main browser and I develop and test with Firefox and later on test with IE (only to test compatibility).

You have probably got a firefox plugin that is blocking megaupload.com. You will have to track it down yourself as it is a browser related issue and nothing to do with this hack.

I emailed the Imageshack development team about this last year, and they still have not fixed it.

Please read this post for more info - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....5&postcount=68

yea, I noticed that it's an iframe pulled from their site. Ah well, maybe they will give us a choice. Thanks.

The setting has always been there in the AdminCP Options for this hack (Imageshack - Text Color), it has just never worked, and if Imageshack fix it at their end, the setting will work straight away.

That message would indicate that you have a hack installed that uses the template_compile file hook, which this hack does not.

What I would advise you to do is, check all of your plugins to see which of your installed hacks in using that hook, and that will be the hack that is causing of your problems, then you can post in that support thread for that hack. You could also try disabling the hack that is causing this problem, install this hack, then enable it again.

So, even though it is possible, it is very, very unlikely support for premium accounts will ever be added to this hack.

It's actually quite simple; All you need to do is swap out the "&u=#####" part of the link. The easiest way to do this is the search-n-replace feature in the ACP.

Search for:

13178909.3b6dda5d12

Replace with the corresponding "&u=###" part from the Filebox script here. (Make sure you're logged in at the top or the U # that shows up is for unregistered users!)

@Mosh
Idea for new version:
Make the "u" variable something you can change from the ACP options for this hack, allowing premium members to take credit for the uploads.
