[Forum] Insert image into forum posts

[markbuckin]

Hi guys,

Since the beta version of Vbulletin 4.0 I've been struggling with this. I was hoping it would sort itself out at version 4.01.

When creating a new post on the forum I want to insert an image from my computer to display full size within the thread.

When composing the post, I click the "insert image" button and browse to the image on my computer.

I click upload.

However. Instead of showing the actual image within the post, it displays something like:

"Attachment 52" as a link, that has to be clicked to show the image.

Can you please tell me if this is a bug, or is there a setting to change to actually show the image in the thread?

I've been playing with settings all morning and still can't get this working.

Many thanks.

Firstly, double check that the following option is set to 'Yes':

AdminCP > Options > Settings > Message Attachment Options > View Attached Images Inline

Also ensure that the folder and all subfolders for your attachment directory are CHMOD'd to 0777.

Hi Trevor, thanks for your suggestions.

Checked both and they're ok. Any other suggestions? This is soooo frustrating.

Are others able to see images inline?

Facing same problem here , Any solutions ?

[markbuckin]

Glad it's not just me. Surely others are experiencing this too?

I'm experiencing this same problem on and off in the CMS Article editor. Haven't even tried to insert one into a forum post though, hmmm.

Let me reframe what are the issues i am facing.

I have uploaded some pictures via a normal user. I can see them inline when i am logged in as admin , However when i am logged in as admin user i can't see them inline , Any pointers on that ?

Also ensure that the folder and all subfolders for your attachment directory are CHMOD'd to 0777.

This ist not almost the best Value to set the CHMOD. Depending on some Server environments it will better work with CHMOD Settings 0755 !

What size (dimensions) is the image you're uploading?

Go to attachments - attachment manager - edit all jpg,jpeg,gif format - disable all New Win option.

if I understand correctly this is the problem.
for me it's a bug.
but may be a design decision

Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails - if update from previos version.

Thanks for asking the question, Mark. I'm sure there are many of us who were a little afraid to ask. Like you, I was taking the "wait and see" approach.

Now my curiosity has got the best of me. Here is my experience:

If thumbnails are enabled, images will always be displayed as thumbnails in posts. Clicking the thumbnail shows the full sized view.
Disabling thumbnails results in images being displayed full sized, inline in the post. This is my desired result.

However, if thumbnails are disabled, the "Enhanced" Asset Manager no longer shows thumbnails. Albums are also crippled, showing a link instead of thumbnail photos.

I tried fooling the system by changing the size of thumbnails to 800 px. This worked in posts, displaying images full size, but it totally screwed up Albums, blowing the
borders out an showing a thumbnail portion of the 800 px image.

I would like to keep thumbnails enabled for Asset Manager, but still allow full sized inline images in posts. This is the way 3.8 worked. Can we get back there?

Thanks.

I'm still having this problem, has anyone found a solution?

Hi,

Need to add a Me Too to this thread...

However, my specific issue is that when I try to insert and image directly into the post, I get the red exclamation point.

I have made sure that my extensions are OK, permissions are set, etc.

Where, though, is the Attachments folder everyone keeps saying to CHMOD 777?

In any case, this is pretty frustrating... and it looks like no one has a definitive answer on what's going on?

Thanks.
