image posting

[s10owners]

Now, I've noticed that for Attachments you can opt to have a link shown for the image instead of it being visible inside the thread...

Now I was wonderign if that is possible with the [img] tag?

I was thinking just edit the [img] tag to output a link, instead of the actual image?

Any better Ideas?

That's easy. Just modify the forum and set 'Allow BB IMG Code in posts' to 'No'.

Wow...I cant believe I totally overlooked that LoL...

Thanks for knocking some sense into me Steve

[Steve Machol]

It's an easy one to overlook.

[s10owners]

Err...LoL...Now I don't know if this is just me, but I have is "Allow vB IMG code in signatures, and private messages" but not for posts

Maybe I am still overlooking it?

You need to modify each forum:

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Modify -> [edit] -> Enable/Disable Features -> Allow BB IMG Code in posts -> No

Image Posting

I've done:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Attachments -> View Images ->Yes

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Modify -> [edit] -> Allow BB IMG Code in post -> Yes

User CP --> Edit Options --> Show image attachments and [img] code in Posts ->Yes

and I still can't get an image to show.
It works if I enter a URL to an image ( but how can I paste an image file from my harddrive?

Thanks for any help you can give!

You can't. You need to use either the [img] tag or the file attachment function.

Sorry, you can't link to local files.
Two main reasons.
1) Your local files are not accessible over the Internet so others would not be able to see them.
2) It prevents malicious exploits such as the con con bug.

Attaching multiple images

I'm wondering if there is any way to set things up to allow users to attach more than one photo when posting a message.

Option 1: Wait for vB3
Option 2: Install a hack from vBulletin.org
