Board Optimization - Duckways: Picr.me image hosting integration

Picr.me image hosting integration



What is this mod all about?
Large board normally prefer to host images externally. That's why we wrote this plugin to add an upload function with a Picr.me image hosting. All it does is add a upload button on the top right of the editor, when you click it you'll get a Picr.me popup to upload photos. After you uploaded the pictures the window will automatically close and insert the uploaded photo's in the vBulletin editor. See pictures below.

Picr.me is a free image hosting platform, 100% dedicated to forum owners and owned by Duckways.


What it looks like:

Add this to your head template and you're good to go:

<script async src="//picr.me/api-v1/upload.js"></script>

Easy as that!

It is possible to add the "upload image icon" also in the "edit post" windows?
Right now, if a user is edit their post , he does not have the possibility to upload images.

EDIT LATER: I figured myself, I chose to be displayed in Hook Location: editor_additional_panels

Unfortunately this mod corrupted my forum.
I mean, each time a user accesses a topic it is automatically redirected to the posting window, regardless if it should be the first message or the first unread message.

I receive this response from vBulletin staff:

It is scrolling to the bottom because the editor is being activated automatically.

This is most likely because a JavaScript error is being thrown on the site. It may be because of your "Upload Images Addon" for Picr.me. This JavaScript error is actually being thrown by the addon's upload.js file. You will need to make sure your addon is updated and compatible with vBulletin 5.6.2 and jQuery 3.4.1 and higher.
