Post \"Picture\" instead of text

Can user post an image in the chat room?

[Wavesonics]

this shouldn't be hard to do at all, problem is, it could be really really annoying depending on the size of the images.

An new bbcode [img] tag should be easily implemented ut as wavesonics said it could be very annoying when images are too big...

How about if it appears as an thumbnail (generated by the script?), and then it is displayed full size if clicked.

It's doable, if someone want to implement this feature I'm ready to give some guidelines, to review the patch and to integrate it in the official source code.

"Ray" is interested to implement this feature, here is what I wrote to him by email :

Here is the guideline:
- You'll have to add a client side regex to catch [img]...[/img] bbcode in the posted messages. To do that, have a look to the "parseMessage" function in the data/public/js/pfcclient.js file.
- Then replace the [img]imageurl[/img] by the correct HTML: <img src="imageurl" alt="" />
If you want to manage thumbnail my advice is to look around a online web service that propose dynamic and online thumbnails.

I find the "parseMessage: function(msg)" line but i don't know witch one to change, help!

I have implemented this in my Leeloo Chat. But of course, it's not nice to allow posted images in the public chat. I allow this for private messages only, which are managed and displayed in a separate screen.

Anyway, if you want to allow images for unregistered users, it's a pain to track them on the server side, without a user to attach them to. And just imagine the consequences of anonymous image posting on a public forum, depending on the image content ! That's why it should be "registered user only" IMHO.

ok, i got it working... PARTLY

if i post [img]myimage.gif[/img] it will work....

But as soon as the image is a real path ... like http://www.somesite.com/someimage.jpg... some other reg replace part of the script kicks in at the URL, and all gets messed up...

How can I prevent the URL inside the [img] tag to be processed by OTHER parts of the script ?


thanks in advance

[runebergen]

here is my current code

Code: Select all

// image parse
      rx = new RegExp('\[img\](.+?)\[/img\]','ig');
      msg = msg.replace(rx, '<img src="$1" width="50px" height="50px" />');

[runebergen]

Anyone??

At least a hint at where the URL parse part is ?


( why is this support forum sooooooooo dead? ) hum


Crossin fingers for some help

[runebergen]

Anyone who could help me with some regexpr to make the following code produce an image in the chat? In other words make an img BBcode tag work. Would really really apreciate it...

Code: Select all

[img]http://www.website.com/image.jpg[/img]
[img]http://www.website.com/image.gif[/img]
[img]http://www.website.com/image.png[/img]

Thanks in advance if you can

I'm going through the "almost" exact same problem! ... I know HTML and I know a fair bit on BBcode, but I can't get it to execute properly in the php environment.

I had success with putting together font selection icons on my chat, but the image side of things is a whole different ball game ( not an easy one to crack either! *sobs* )

Built my own external system in HTML/Java ... problem fixed.
