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.

You need to edit the height, make it bigger, find this code in the product, look for the red 75 and change it to suit

 <iframe src="http://imageshack.us/iframe.php?txtcolor=111111" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" width="285" height="75"> You must 
have an iframe-compatable browser to view the ImageShack.us upload form.

Thanks..

I will be adding width and height options in the next version, so for people who it does not fit because of font or style reasons will be able to adjust those settings to their own liking.

Because it is in the iframe that is downloaded via imageshack.us, and therefore not controllable by us.

Again, because it is in the iframe that is downloaded via imageshack.us, and therefore I can not phrase anything within the iframe as it is not controllable by us. Sorry.

hello masiello
it's not possible to translate that part.

ciao masiello
purtroppo al momento non ? possibile tradurre quella parte perch? quel riquadro (se cos? lo possiamo chiamare) non ? proprio della modifica ma risiede su imageshack. infatti lo puoi vedere a questo link: http://imageshack.us/iframe.php?txtcolor=111111
questo link ? stato inserito nel codice di questa hack quindi non si pu? proprio tradurre.
comunque conosco un image hosting tutto italiano che consente l'inserimento nel forum di vbulletin (attraverso una piccola modifica dei templates), al momento di creare un nuovo thread (o nella modifica avanzata), di un riquadro per caricare le immagini direttamente su questo hosting, che tra l'altro genera diversi codici fatti apposta per vbulletin con la descrizione in italiano (miniatura...link per il forum...link per mostrare l'immagine ai tuoi amici...). in pratica la versione italiana di questa mod. se ti interessa mandami pure un PM.

I have updated this to v1.10, see 1st post for changes and extra screenshot.

Love it

Can you make another for imagemule please?

Thanks a lot for this! The update was nice, could directly change the "75" to "95" and works

[Nissart]

great mod !

But my forum background color is black, so the imageshack black text "Learn more about the ImageShack Toolbar! patience during upload" is illegible

Please check the error in this image, Thanks

I will look into it at some point, but a brief look at it showed me there is no API to enable us to easily write an upload plugin like for this mod, so no promises at all for doing this.

There is one Its just like Mega and Rapid free accounts no limits...
