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.

If you have done everything and rechecked the work, then I can not see what is wrong without taking a look at your site.

[S]So, if want me to take a look then feel free to PM me your site address, a temp admin user (with admin permissions - Can Administer Settings for editing options and Can Administer Plugins for editing products and plugins and Can Administer Styles for editing templates) without this I can not help you. I will look when I have time, and even if I have a look, I can not guarantee that I will be able to fix it, if your site is not in English (I only read/write in English), so it is up to you what you want to do.[/S]

Thanks! it took me a few tries but I got it working.

When you press "host it" should a full screen pop up of imageshack come up or should that also be in a frame of some kind?

It will open another window or browser tab (depends on your browser and browser settings).

Yep, you are right, sometimes the ImageShack iframe is very slow in loading.
