Free onboard Image Hosting - "photobucket" for your board.
Developer Last Online: Feb 2022
Should be same install on any vBulletin board, versions 3.0 and up to 3.8.7. I have not tried this yet on vBulletin 4 and up.
This uses NO:
Take a test drive here: HTML Code:
http://usmessageboards.com USERNAME vBTester PASSWORD testmetestme I've had this "hack" on my board for a few years and recently installed it on a couple other fellas boards and decided it was time to share the secret. Have your own image hosting tool that is independent of 3rd party ones that like to block hotlinking and take images down after awhile. The software used is by another author and is not my code. The template edits to integrate it to your vBulletin installation however, is. First of all go to: http://codefuture.co.uk/projects/imagehost/ and download the free image hosting software. Upload this package to root level of your server using a clever name for the folder, like "imagemagic" or something related to your board's topic. For a baseball board recently, I styled this "picturecatcher." You should now be able to use and administer this by going to the URL, yourboard.com/yournameforthis Once it is installed and working and you have done the setup and configuration to your liking, it is time to integrate this to your board. The best place to do this is in the WYSIWYG editors and the quick editors throughout. Use "Search In Templates" to find all templates that have the word "separator" or "separator.gif" in them. This will populate the list of all the editor templates in your style. The list looks like this: And you want to edit the templates you see in red, above. In these templates find: HTML Code:
<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_wrap0_quote"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/quote.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[wrap_quote_tags]" /></div></td> HTML Code:
<td><div class="imagebutton"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="window.open('http://yoursite.com/yourimagehostfoldername/index.php?mode=vbull&tpl=.&forumurl=' + escape(document.location.href), '_imagehost', 'resizable=yes,width=860,height=625');return false;"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/uploadimage.png" width="21" height="20" alt="Upload Image for Posting" /></a></div></td> Upload this image to your server at location / and style it "uploadimage.png." Do this edit for each template indicated on the populated list above that are in red. The result is, every member who is logged in will see the icon in the posting editors and on click, will give them a popup with the uploader loaded and ready for their images. You and your members will see this in your editors: And that's it! The uploader itself is very user friendly and intuitive, not much different at all from photobucket, ImageShack, or any other image hosting feature including vBulletin's own attachment uploader. So your membership should have no problems with it. I posted all images in this post, using this very same image uploader, on my board! So as you can see it can be used anywhere to post images. There are also links provided after upload, for direct sharing, email sharing, and so on. Enjoy! Show Your Support

Hi,
I have uploaded the files as per the instructions, however when I go to the URL to do the initial install all I get is a blank screen. Any ideas? D. |

Only to one you have control of.

Yes. My forum is on urljet but I have an account at siteground with a couple of other websites on, could I have the pics hosted on siteground?

You can install this on any host you use. Doesn't have to be the same one the board is hosted on.

That sounds awesome, thanks, will give it a try.
Cheeky request, but I have this mod at the moment - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123481 and it automatically inserts the links into the post without having to copy and paste, any chance you would be able to incorporate that feature into this mod? |

No idea.

Does the user still has control over the images he uploaded? Can he delete the image afterwards?

That's a option you would set.
