Image upload plugin for MyBB

This plugin adds a tool to quickly upload and attach images to posts. Images are uploaded to our website, so there is no need to worry about disk space or web server configuration. When an image is uploaded using this plugin's button, bbcodes for a thumbnail and a link to the original image are automatically generated and inserted into the post.

Options

All versions of PostImage site plugins support a number of options to customize user experience. The easiest way to set an option is to specify it in the address of the plugin. Options are separated by dashes and may be specified in any order. For instance, in order to switch a phpBB plugin to German and to specify that all images uploaded from the site are family-safe, you can import the plugin by editing the appropriate line to look like this: 

<script type="text/javascript" src="//mod.postimage.org/phpbb3-german-family.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If an option from a group is not specified, the default value for the group is used. The following options are currently supported:

Content type

  • mixed  (default) : Allow users to choose the content of uploaded images individually. Conflicts with family and adult.
  • adult : Mark all images uploaded from this site as adult (18+). Users will not be presented with an option to choose content type. Conflicts with family and mixed.
  • family : Mark all images uploaded from this site as family-safe. Users will not be presented with an option to choose content type. Conflicts with family and mixed.
    Note: by using this option you promise us not to upload images containing pornography, adult or mature content from your website. Violation of this promise may lead to all of your images being destroyed and to your forum getting banned forever.

Preview size

  • thumb  (default) : Use small (up to 180x180px in size) previews.
  • hotlink : Use large (up to 1280px pixels wide) previews.

Advanced

You can customize options such as PostImage button appearance by inserting a postimage_customize() function in your JavaScript code before the invocation of PostImage plugin. The function should probably look as shown below: there are three objects that will be applied to styles of the icon, the link, and the container. You can set there any CSS properties you need. 

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function postimage_customize() {
	if (typeof postimage === "undefined") {
		return;
	}
	postimage.style = postimage.style || {};
	postimage.style.link = {"color": "#3a80ea", "vertical-align": "middle", "font-size": "1em"};
	postimage.style.icon = { "vertical-align": "middle", "margin-right": "0.5em", "margin-left": "0.5em"};
	postimage.style.container = {"margin-bottom": "0.5em", "margin-top": "0.5em"};
	/* Add more customizations here as needed */
}
</script>
If you do not want to override the default values but only want to modify or add a specific style option, your function should probably look like this: 
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function postimage_customize() {
	if (typeof postimage === "undefined") {
		return;
	}
	postimage.style = postimage.style || {};
	/* Specify different options for the same style separately */
	postimage.style.link["color"] = "green";
	postimage.style.link["text-decoration"] = "none";

	postimage.style.icon["border"] = "1px solid black";
	postimage.style.container["padding"] = "2px";
	/* Add more customizations here as needed */
}
</script>
