Suggestion: [IMG] code generator

[hpwilhelm]

At my site I and many of our members plan to use the gallery to store images beeing used inline in posts through the [img] tags.

Then it would be easier for many users if there was a copy and paste functionality there.

This would also lead to hot linking from other sites, but it won't be a big problem for my site.

[img] code with thumbnail, and link to full size image in the galleries.
[img] code for the image, and link to rhe image in the galleries.

Anyone done this? Planning to do it?

Thanks!

It would be nice to be able to do something like this:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and that show the thumbnail or full sized picture (settable). If it shows the thumbnail, it should link to the full sized picture.

What would "23" correspond to though?

Great thinking! The value of [gallery] could equate to the id of the pic... however it would be best to be able to differ between thumbs and large.

Photopost had a cool hack that I worked on (I sorted out a wysiwyg version) to provide a popup box for a users images. I would love to see something like this made for the vba gallery. It may be a far better solution than the [gallery] tag as all it would really require is a template edit.

The "23" would be the imageid of the image that they are wanting to display within a post.

That would even be a better idea

Maybe the popup could allow them to quickly search through the images and select a certain image to be displayed.

Have a link to it in action anywhere? Would be good for inspiration.

Sure... http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=60917

Just scanned through though. It looks like the original package does not have any of the wysiwyg code that I added (look on page 3 of the thread). Also, it looks like on page 5 a user contributed to a small change that inserted clickable thumbs (in other words the thumb was inserted but made into a link that would show the large one wheras the original code simply puts the large size in) maybe this could be selectable (a combo box for clickable thumb, thumb, or large image?)

Excellent. If nobody else excepts this challenge in the next couple of days I'll take it on.
