There are now new buttons below the message area when you start a new topic or a reply to upload and insert images directly from the message posting page.



Button functions:

"Choose Photos" to select one or more photos.
"Choose/Take Photo" will appear on mobile devices to select a single photo, on iOS you can take a photo directly and upload.
"Clear" will deselect any photos you have chosen (only enabled once photos selected for upload).
"Upload" will start the upload process (enabled as above).

Once the upload procedure completes, you will get a row of thumbnails under the message area.



Simply click/tap an image to insert the BBCode for that image at the current location in the message area. Images will be slightly greyed out once clicked to indicate which ones you have used.

The two small buttons on the header above the are:

Refresh: at the moment this resets the greyed-out state of the images
Empty: this clear the list, so click this once you have used all the photos you want

Images loaded will persist across all new threads/replies until you click the "empty" icon, so you can add photos to multiple threads.

This feature has currently only been developed and tested on Google Chrome on Windows, so please let me have feedback on other platforms and systems.

It is compatible with iPhone/iPad with iOS 6, the first version when Apple turned file uploads on. On iOS 6 the "Choose/Take Photo" button should give the option to switch to the camera instead of the photo roll.

I hope this is useful and as above, please let me know feedback to improve the features or usability in general or on different devices/systems.

Cheers,

Martin

Question: How to edit BB code to show only a thumbnail in the post, for the click on picture to then show full size (usually in new window) ? .

Can't be done at the moment (unless you manually change them all). I'll look into a way to do this though.
