Topic: Integrate image uploading

Hi guys,

I run an image hosting site and I've created a way for forum owners to integrate it directly with their forum as an additional button on post options, "UPLOAD IMAGE".

I'd love to get some feedback from PunBB forum owners, the phpBB/IPB crowd like it a lot.

I'm not sure exactly how PunBB works behind the scenes, but basically all you need to do is add this code somewhere on the page:

<script language="javascript" src="http://forum.imgfree.net/uploadpop.js"></script>
<noscript><a href="http://www.imgfree.net">Image Hosting</a></noscript>

And then where you want the button:

<input type="button" value="UPLOAD IMAGE" class="codebuttons" onclick="LaunchImgFree();" />

I'm especially interested in hearing exactly how it can be added to PunBB in the easiest way, so that users of all levels can take advantage of it.

The image hosting is optimized especially for forums and includes useful features such as resizing images to ensure they're not massive and a pain in the *** for dial up users.

The button launches a popup which has an upload form and after uploading, the user is given the url to the image, the url to a page to view the image, and the phpBB and EZBoard code to embed the image in their forum post.

Hope some of you are interested, I'd really like to see this working with PunBB smile

Re: Integrate image uploading

That may make it useless for PunBB heh.  A lot of the people using it at the moment are ipb/phpbb users on free or paid-but-limited hosting offered by the forum vender, so something like that wasn't an option for them.

Probably the only advantage my system offers is that it removes the diskspace and bandwidth requirements from the forum owner's account.

Oh well sad
