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.

I found it and giving some feedback for others that may have the same issue.

Despite of everything enabled for this hack at ACP the default IDs was set to 0 that I was wondering it was supposed to work for all my user groups. But it was exactly the opposite, you must to put all your usergroups IDs into that if you want to work.
Maybe I too dumb...

The defaut iFrame Height is set to 75 but for original templates 80 it's gonna work better without cropping.

Thanks for the help.

I have emailed ImageShack tech support about the fact that the iFrame Text Color (txtcolor) option does not work, hopefully I will get a response and they fix it up asap.

STATUS REPORT

2 months on, and no reply from Imageshack, and no fix.

So it looks like this will never be fixed, sorry folk

So, if everyone how uses this hack emails Imageshack tech support and bugs the hell out of them, they might actually fix it.

Use this link - http://reg.imageshack.us/content.php...ail&q=customer
Explain that txtcolor does not work, and to please fix it up asap as you need that functionality.

I have this error during uploading images:

"You must provide a valid auth token or dev key. see http://code.google.com/p/imageshackapi/"

[teou]

Hi, if anybody gets an error about api-s recently, the problem is not with this mod but with Imageshack. There is new code that you can get from here. Put it directly is styles and uninstall this mod.

Is there any mod for vbulletin 4?
