Post \"Picture\" instead of text

Wow, i really like your setup. Add thumbnail in chat! Hidden Smiley Popup! Since phpfreechat is free, why couldn't you share with us your code and ideas?

I have implemented this in my Leeloo Chat. .........."registered user only" IMHO.

Hi folks,

Okay, here is how I manage image posts in our chat.

Firstly, go into your "chat.html.tpl.php" ... and locate a standard button (text color, bold, italics etc)

Create a new div below the last entry (or wherever you want it located)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(my example)



<!--image hut post icon-->
<img src="http://www.pool-chat.com/images/spacer.gif" height=1 width=10>


<div id="pfc_bt_delete_btn" class="pfc_btn">
<img src="<?php echo $c->getFileUrlFromTheme('IMAGES/YOURICON.png'); ?>"
id="pfc_bt_delete"
alt="Post Image"
title="Post Image"
class="pfc_bt_delete"
onclick="pfc.insert_text('[img]/YOURTHEME/YOURDIR/','.gif[/img]',true)" />
</div>


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Replace YOURTHEME/YOURDIR with your own setup, to reflect your theme/image dir. Upload images to this location, rehash your chat, then simply post them to chat using only the filename, as the code above will handle the path. I have set mine up for *.gif ... but you can easily make that jpg or wildcard.

You will obviously have to create your own small icon and reference it above "'IMAGES/YOURICON.png"

That's It.

Hope this helps?

All the best,
Cal

Interesting.
This presupposes an upload, eh?

I took a look at the url processing file today, and sorted it out, viz:

Yeah that last link has an article that gives a solution to the image thumbnail in your chat in place of the external link. It is very nice and a cool feature to add. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing the solution with us all.

How can we get the image to load with lightbox.js instead of in a new tab/window? I would really think that would be the next logical step.

Peace,
