Q: Which forum system does it currently support?
A: Currently phpBB3 3.0.x, vBulletin 3.7.x/3.8.x/4.0.x, Invision Power Board (IPB) 3.0.x and Simple Machine Forum (SMF) 1.1.x/2.0.x are supported.

I believe these are all php files used in these forums, so the answer probably would be no

I know....but you need to get in touch with the guys so they can work with it. I would love to, but I am not the owner of the code, so thats why I asked Bruce. :)

Any suggestions to the picture plugin?

Okay - picture plugin
Let me get this straight - users who upload pictures directly into the forum have the pictures automatically resized by the plugin, but I guess when you say links you mean if someone pops a image in there using Photobucket for example?

Yes....i have allready implemented the things written on here regarding resizing. But it doesnt work on image links inserted in posts.

A lot of other forums has this allready, sp I wondered if it was possible here as well?

I suppose it would require a modification to check the inserted image size, and then reduce the image to a specific size, if it was larger than you wanted.
Without looking into this properly it would be impossible to even guess how it could be done, but Bruce may have an answer - one way or the other - if this was something that could be done. Also Scotty32 is good at this stuff

See what happens on this topic.

Okay - who out there is a genius with this stuff? Obviously not me LOL

Supposing as dld-nordic wanted Photobucket inserted images to be a certain size, how would this be done?

My lousy attempt at coding is probably way off

'---- Start Photobucket Resizing Mod -------------------------------------
    ' Dimension variables
    Dim strResize
    'Start Mod
    'If this is an hyperlink photobucket tag then check it and resize accordingly
    Do While InStr(1, strMessage, "", 1) > 0 AND InStr(1, strMessage, "photobucket.com", 1)
        
            If InStr(1, strTempMessage, "photobucket.com", 1)
             Then
                strResize = 200
            Else continue
                End If
                
    Loop

                
    '----------- END Mod -----------------------------------------------------

Bruce - you know this stuff
How would a script need to be written (properly) to check if the link includes photobucket.com, and if it is including the image tags (just to make sure someone is not simply writing the words photobucket or com, that it could resize an image say if it exceeded 640x480

Bump

Thx :) But it needed to be for every inserted imagelink ;) Not only photobucket....

So it needs something general, like a way to handle images like the one posted allready on the forums. In its current form, it only works with uploaded images. And you have to manually configure it depending on which plugin you use for uploading.

Thanks again Doug! You are very kind in responding so fast to issues regarding the forum. Do you by any chance know, if Bruce is developing this alone?? Or does he have people working for him?

The simplest way is to use CSS like the forum already uses to some degree to place scroll bars on any images over a certain number of pixels. Thus keeping the image looking correct while not causing formatting issues.

By trying to force the size in the way you are you would end up with a distorted image as you would be restricting the image size without reducing the images proportions.

If you use the insert image

from the toolbar you can also select the image size of your image and try and retain the correct proportions.

The best thing to do is educate your users not to simply copy and paste images but using the insert image tool to include images from other websites or upload their own from their PC.

I'm sure Bruce or Scotty will read this topic, and perhaps offer a better solution. I'm kind of guessing that the code will say something like:

If this is an IMG tag
Then set size at 640x480

But the problem then would be if someone say linked to an image that was 320x320, and the code tried to enlarge the image! it would make it TOO big for what it had been originally Wacko

Thx Bruce.

But a lot of forums has this plugin. Vbulletin has http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=118048" rel="nofollow - this and it works like a charm. Not destroying the original layout of the forum, but beeing able to display the picture in org. form if chosen.

Any updates on a tapatalk plugin??

Of well over 5,000 members, only one person has ever asked us for this.
If such a thing ever comes about ( it's all php from what I see, making it that much more difficult) I hope it's a purely optional item that can be left out as I'd rather not have one more thing to support.... sorry, just how things go with our forum.
Car people aren't tech geeks so it's not high on our list (LOL - not even on our list), and the fact only one person has even mentioned it, makes me wonder how big a thing it is in reality? I don't see a whole slew of folks clamoring for it over and over.

count me please :)

i was trying to figure out a way to merge with tapatalk. The only problem is to figure out the plugins.

Web Wiz Forums does not need tapatalk as it already comes with image auto resizing and a mobile optimised view in the latest version.

had a few requests for tapatalk and proboards... these appear to be apps which you can have multiple forums managed by them so they notify you of any changes etc.
