It doesn't take you to the page in the screen shot?

Also, I'll test your install file, and then upload the new zip.

No it doesn;t take me to the page with the various links on it.

Ok I figuered I would test again ya know..well it worked so forget about it. And about the tables, I'm not fluent with them but shouldn't you just pad the table cell.

Check the intructions agisnt your orignal. You just labeled the templates wrong. Anyways this will be coming in handy now.

Thanks for the hack.

I uploaded a new install file to fix the template issue, it's completlely revised. Also, I tested it, and was brought to the correct page.

Well, it doesn't seem to look right with a dark theme, so if you could find a way to allow us to edit the individual CSS settings, that would be awesome! I tried to figure it out, but without using an iFrame, when you click Upload(or "host it!"), I get taken to the new post as it is getting submitted when you click on that button. Here's what I tried to use:

PHP Code:

<fieldset class="fieldset">
    <legend>Host an Image with ImageShack!</legend>
    <form method="post" action="http://imageshack.us/" enctype="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="disableme('butan')">
    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" width="100%" border="0">
    <tr valign="bottom">
        <td>
            <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1048576">
            <input type="hidden" name="aff" value="www.transitracing.com">
            <input type="hidden" name="type" value="blank">
            <input type="file" name="fileupload" size="30">
        </td>
        <td><input id="butan" type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[upload]" style="width:70px" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr valign="bottom">
        <td>
            Image Hosting by <a 
href="http://imageshack.us/" target="_blank">ImageShack</a></span> - <a 
href="http://imageshack.us/rules.php" target="_blank">ToS</a>
        </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
</fieldset> 


<input type="hidden" name="aff" value="www.transitracing.com"> would change depending on your URL.

I'm thinking that ImageShack is using some PHP in their script or something, so I cannot view it via the "View Source" option in IE. Let me know if you can figure this out... ><

You can simply change the text color of the iframe by changing whats in the highlited region, with any hex color code.

<iframe src="http://www.imageshack.us/iframe.php?txtcolor=[HIGH]111111[/HIGH]" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" width="280" height="70">

My goal was to integrate it so that it would use the same CSS features for the buttons, etc. And also when I used the basic code from ImageShack, the iframe was scrollable and I had to use my mouse to see all of the iframe. If there's a way to integrate their form into a template and still have it pop up in a new window, let me know if you figure it out.

Maybe you should use the <fieldset> tags rather then an I-Frame. Just my 2 cents.

See my post on Sept 2nd. Try that code out in the template and you'll see that it doesn't work properly.

Sorry for not responding, I've been really busy and I don't have the time to work on this ATM. But when I do have the time, I will look into it.
