Topic: [Request] Upload Image in posts (On the local server)

I'm looking for an extension for punbb 1.3

I have found the one I want for fluxbb 1.2 :
http://www.punbb.fr/forums/viewtopic.php?id=9497

##      Description:  This mod allows uploading images in the punBB server
##                    during posting or modification of a message and generates
##                    the suitable bbcode that the member can copy and paste
##                    in his message.
##
##            Notes:  Images are resized to fit in a maximum width and
##                    a maximum height. They can be watermarked too.
##                    So, this mod uses the phpthumb library by James Heinrich.
##                    See http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net
##
##                    This mod load the user styles by using $pun_user['style'].'.css'.
##                    Use #upload-body, #upload_result, #upload_form and #upload_wait for styling.

However I don't think it's compatible with  punbb 1.3?
Can anyone help me? that feature is very important for me! sad

You could always use one of the free scripts out there and just host it on your server for yourself and others to use.  It wouldn't be integrated into PunBB.

Here is one I've really like, it will give you the BBcode as well.

Looks nice, but you have to limit access to that script somehow, or run an open image hosting service otherwise.

Have you tried this image hosting service:

http://www.postimage.org/mod.php

They have a plugin for Pun and Flux 1.3 as well as 1.2.

They now use imageshack.us at the back-end, apparently, so they should be quite reliable.

The idea is to store images on an own server, if you ask me. cool

Yes. I am looking for this feature for a long time. It is not a good idea to store files on others' server.

Storing images on your own server has pros and cons. Mostly the cons outweight the pros, IMHO.

A big minus is the bandwidth hosting your own images can consume, as well as the extra server load image serving plus page loading can generate. Other negatives include the storage space image hosting can eat up, which also means extra backup hassles. And there are security risks sometimes in opening up your server to user upload of images.
