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 ...

This hack doesnt even touch the Quick Reply at all, the only thing it does (if enabled) is search for a particular text in the Showthread Template and add the appropriate code after it - when this Hack is installed/uninstalled it doesnt do anything to the Quick Reply.

In addition, this is a simple Product Installation/Uninstallation - there are no other template edits to do or undo. If I were you I would disable the Plugins in your Forum via config.php and check if you still get the error. That will let you know if its another installed hack or if your Templates are messed up or something.

Nope, I used to use the Imageshack upload on the posts but there was a Quick Reply problem with that, I had to manually do the template edits for that and this and I put them in the right place. With the Imageshack one, whenever someone posted a Quick Reply, it came up with an error so I added the Imageshack template to the Quick Reply template, everything was fine just said it had errors on page plus no one could click any options above the Quick Reply so I uninstalled and got rid of all the templates for Imageshack... After I uninstalled Imageshack, Quick Reply worked fine on everything. Then I installed this and I to had manually put the template edits in just like Imageshack and this did the exact same Quick Reply error. Now I have uninstalled the product and took out all template edits, the Quick Reply problem is still there. So it must be to do with this somehow. I'm just trying to find where this problem is, but it is definetely with this because Imageshack did it as well and it was working fine before.

Chet T16, if you give me temporary administrator access to your Forum's Admin Control Panel I can take a look at the settings you have for this Hack and see what's happening or what's causing that problem. Please make sure that you added all the Usergroups you want this to show to in the correct field under the Photobucket's Hack settings.

TCE Killa, what manual edits did you make? In the installation instructions at no point did it say to do any edits to anything and neither does the Imageshack Hack. What template or templates did you edit?

Well I had to add the Imageshack and Photobucket template which automatically comes in with the product, I had to insert them under $attachmentoptions in Edit, Newreply, Newthread and I had to add it below </fieldset> in Showthread to get it all to work. If I hadn't done that, nothing was showing on either of them. Do you want a screenshot of the Quick Reply error I am getting? Thanks for helping man.

[Dannyloski]

TCE Killa, yeah please provide screenshots. What I would do if I were you is Revert the Edit, New Reply, New Thread, and Showthread Templates and see if the error disappears (it should). I still dont understand why you had to manually add those things, the product didnt work for you? If you want me to take a look at it, provide me with temporary administrator access to your Forum's Admin Control Panel and I can take a look at it.

[TCE Killa]

I have attached a screenshot of the error I am getting < this was the error with Imageshack but is the exact same error for this mod aswell. When I last reverted a template, it got rid of the whole template, I had to ask someone what was in there template to copy and paste it back, so I'm not risking that anymore.

But if you would like, I'll give you a temp username and password for my forum, see if you can take a look and see what needs to be done.

Thanks alot for the help man, appreciate it.

Aha, i read the description under Allowed Usergroups as meaning to enter 0 to allow all usergroups to see it which is where i was going wrong.

All sorted now, sorry about that

Edit: Just read your post in this thread that expalins it too, sorry!

[Dannyloski]

Chet T16, glad to hear you got it all working now :up:

TCE Killa, send me temp login access to your Admin CP and I will look into it ...
