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 ...

Hi ...

The box at the bottom that displays the code to paste into the post, shows up on my browser as HTML code.....

The pics used at the top of this thread show the selection in the box to me vBulletin's IMG code ..

How do I get it to display the IMG only option on my site?

Thanks for any help .... :up:

Regards,
Badger

If I understand you correctly, you should change this settings in Photobucket options (Go to Photobucket web page, log in, and change settings)

Thank you...

I deselected all of them except the vBulletin code, which I assume is the only thing I can do given only one field option in the mode.

Badger

Ok, did that and I'm still only getting the HTML cut-n-paste option in the bottom field box....

Any other ideas as to how to get it display like the pic in the demo example?

Thanks
