Hi all,
How do I 'modify' Snitz to allow end users to be able to click the IMAGE button or use Ctrl V to embed an image into the message ?
Our setup is Forum code = ON ,HTML code = OFF, Images = ON
I read the help file and searched the boards and understand the reasoning behind banning users from being able to insert images into posts - but I still want it  We use Snitz forums for supporting software. We want our clients to log on, post their problem together with a screenshot of the problem. Our clients are not computer savvy and uploading images to one location and then using ![]() type syntax is not feasible. We could ask the clients to send the screenshots to us but that means they will view the forum as not as good as an email with a Word document with screenshots (doh !) and will stop using the forums and we are back to square one.
Have a good day !

Without ActiveX or Java, I don't think you'll be able to do what you want. I believe the image is going to have to become a file on the client computer before it can be uploaded to the server, and you can't programatically select a file to upload, your users will have to choose the file from the browse window.

So you want your clients to be able to click a certain button or CTRL+V and have the following take place:
1. Prt Sc
2. Save
3. Name file
4. Select the same file for upload to your server
5. Embed in current post
That sounds complicated to me, and AFAIK, would require a MOD. |

OK. If the end users can't save a screenshot to file, we will educate them how to do that. As a side note, we will also find out whoever is feeding these people and ask them to stop
>> your users will have to choose the file from the browse window.
That's sounds like the best solution.
Have a button titled "Insert image into message"
Client clicks button , browses to and selects image saved on their PC. The image is uploaded to our forum server and embedded in the message/post.
My understanding of the current use of img is that the image must be in an Internet accessible location ie: not a client PC that has no DNS entry or fixed IP. Please correct me if I'm wrong. |
