Images upload & short URL (services for the community)

Images upload ^[2]

I started on the observation that on the forums, the users use many different hosters for their pics and after some weeks (or months, depends w/ the hoster), the image disappears of the web and leaves a broken link on the forum. More, many users publish images of giant size and this is simply an horror, when you have many images to load on the same page (but here, every moderators know the problem). So, because of that, iUP (for Images UPload) has born. It's very easy for the user, you add the images you want, then click upload and finally, just copy/paste the given BB or HTML code (displaying the thumb and making a link to the full size).

Note the system generate miniatures that respect BIF (there you are), Armaholic and CFr (and by the way, many forums).

Once the image is uploaded, you can manage it (rename or delete) and monitor how many time thumbs and full size has been displayed ^[1]

URL Crunch ^[2]

The facts are simple, from a side, I wanted to monitor how many clicks where made (w/o opening Google Analytics or any other) and aside, time to time, it's hard to write a decent message when the amount of characters is limited when it must include a link. So, I developed the URL crunch.

The concept is very simple :

It turns an url (eg: http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?168-ARMA-3-BETA-SQUADS-AND-FANPAGES) into a short link (eg: http://arma3.fr/l-038b9c0a).

Then, it also monitors how many clicks where made ^[1].

An option to upload several pics at once would be nice. WHen I upload 10 pics -10 times clicking the file open dialog ist not so comfortable.

but cool idea anyway!

plus: when clicking into the field to mark and copy the string - why not use a script that copies it automatically.

The copy script... I don't know how I have missed this feature... :confused: It will be added w/ the next update (next weekend).

You're right about multiple files selection at once. It's already developed, but ATM, some users have troubles w/ (during the alpha stage), so before publishing this, I want to be sure it works perfectly. BTW, you can drag and drop into the colorized zone next to the button.

Edit:

I added an action to select the code.

Great, I hadn't yet figured out how to post images rather than only the links being somewhat wary of posting images way over the limit. The storage facility & the URL crunch are excellent. Thank you, Tom :D
