Suggestion for image upload page (Read 1922 times)

Is it possible that the page that say "Your images are uploaded successfully" to display the full URL of the image?

An example:
If I upload an image with the name myimage.jpg, the page would say something like "You can find your image at http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/myimage.jpg "

When you want to insert the image in your post you can just copy the URL and add image tags and it's done. It works a lot faster and you will have less typo's.

Simpler suggestion ....... cut and paste the following into a notepad and then just add your image name.

I think he wants "yourpic.jpg" replaced with the exact file name of the picture uploaded to save the red X box with incorrect filenames. Is that even possible?

Probably but it would require up to 8 different urls being displayed. Easier as it is methinks.

My opinion is that it would take too much of a rewrite of the yaBB code to get it done.

It would be a useful addition (many times I've wished for it) but in the end, .......

Hmmm - perhaps more useful would be to hunt down the script section that puts the [ img]URL[ /img] tags and replace it with [ img]http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/[ /img] ?

(extra spaces added so the tag shows up)....

Good idea - though even customising with the Yabb is scary enough - not to mention going into the scripts ..

FFDS would be a good testbed for this.

(reminds me Felix - you should back that one up. Nothing like a killed forum to ruin breakfast ...)

I thought of testing it in the FFDS forum, but I don't have the image hosting that we have here.

However, I may just play around.... let me see if I can find it and let you know privately.

Or alternatively...When you have entered one complete filename with the link and proper filename and image tags hit preview post if it works then copy the name and only change the number You'll have to make serious though like

LOL - trying to find something in the yabb scripts is worse than trying to find a needle in a haystack!

Copying and pasting is something I already do. I never have problems when I post an image but it's just to make life a little easier

An image upload system like this site uses isn't very complicated or difficult (at least it doesn't need to be

). I think that If you send me the file yabbupload.cgi that I can get it to work.

If it's done right displaying 1000 URLs can be done in 3 lines of code

I think that's more difficult

The image upload isn't part of the yabb forum - but a perl script I added & running separately -

To get the upload to display the URL would require hacking the scripts - & they are far from obvious.

I wish it was a case of changing a line of code ...

I regularly customise perl scripts but this is not customising - it is hacking (aka modifying) - going into the script itself- & possibly more than one as yabb uses a handful of scripts to run.

The bright side is that the new yabb has a file attachment (same thing) built in. (dark side is that our forums have so far failed to convert even with the help of the yabb team). We will probably have to delete all messages over a year of 2. to make it possible .... 8)

I am not talking about changing the YaBB scripts. Just some changes to the image upload script and the upload successful page.

The problem is that what you're suggesting actually is a major (re)programming task. You're asking the script to recognize the files uploaded by name, and then create the URLs for them directly for you to copy/paste into your post.

Finding out where in the script the tag "[ IMG]URL[ /IMG]" is and changing that URL to the simviation uploads URL is probably easier, and in the end, "reminds" someone who may want to link to an outside image that it shouldn't be done.
