the content

Code:

;window['FormData'] && $(function(){$(function(){
   
      var imgur_client_id = 'your-imgur-id-here'; // you will get it via http://api.imgur.com/oauth2/addclient
   
      var current = 0, uploaded, xhrs, file_selector, button = $('.sceditor-button-servimg').off().click(function(){
        if(current) return finish();
        if(!file_selector) file_selector = $('<input type="file" multiple/ accept="image/*">').css({position:'absolute', top:-100}).appendTo('body').change(function (e) {
          var files = e.target.files, fd, len;
          uploaded = [], xhrs = [];
          for (var i = 0, len = files.length; i < len; i += 1) {
            if (files[i].type.indexOf('image/') && files[i].type !== 'application/pdf') continue;
            current++;
            fd = new FormData();
            fd.append('image', files[i]);
            (function(xhr){
              var num = i, xhr = jQuery.ajaxSettings.xhr();
              xhrs.push(xhr);
              xhr.open('POST', 'https://api.imgur.com/3/image');
              xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Client-ID '+imgur_client_id);
              xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
                if (xhr.readyState !== 4) return;
                current--;
                if (xhr.status === 200) {
                  var res = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
                  uploaded[num] = res.data.link;
                }
                if(!current) finish();
              };
              xhr.send(fd);
            })();
          }
          if(current) button.css({background:'url(http://i.imgur.com/EMsOJtZ.gif) no-repeat'});
        });
        file_selector.click();
        return false;
      }).children();
      var finish = function(){
        for(var i=0; i < xhrs.length; i++) {
            if(xhrs[i].readyState == 4) continue;
            xhrs[i].onreadystatechange = function(){};
            xhrs[i].abort();
        }
        for(var i=0; i < uploaded.length; i++) {
          if(uploaded[i] === undefined) continue;
          $('body').find('.sceditor-button-image').click().end().find('.sceditor-insertimage').find('#image').val(uploaded[i]).end().find('input.button').click();
          $('#text_editor_textarea').sceditor('instance').insertText('\n');
        }
        button.removeAttr('style');
        current = 0;
        file_selector.wrap('<form>').closest('form').get(0).reset();
        file_selector.unwrap();
        return false;
      };
    })});

dont forget your imgur ID
replace
your-imgur-id-here
in the 2nd line with your imgur ID that you did in the first of the topic
and save the Script
all done and have fun with the new fast uploading images and its also to imgur i think its the best image server till now

Notice

Tutorial written and translated by @Michael_vx. Credit for the script and original tutorial goes to Ea from the French Support forum.

Does this mean that images uploaded by members will go into your account? If yes, would this not use up the storage for one account?

will yes
but i think imgur is a great image server
so i dont think we have to worry about that part of storage

I was thinking about the whole storage thing as well.. 
I did some research and it seems like there aren't any bandwidth limits set for free imgur accounts anymore.
Short article can be found here
Imgur Blog post
So doing this should be okay..

thats looks a good news to me
we dont have to worry about limits

@Michael_vx Considering testing this on my Forum.. But before I do, this is compatible with any version right? Not just phpBB3 or whatever else?

will
it should be for all versions since its to the Editor
if there a problem please let me know

Alrighty~ I'll try it out tonight and let you know if I run into any issues :B

@Michael_vx Ooooh tested it and it works beautifully.


P.S.
You might want to give credit to the author of the script by adding a link to the tutorial at the end of your post.
http://forum.forumactif.com/t381038-utiliser-imgur-comme-hebergeur-d-image

e.g. "Credit for the script goes to..", "Script by", etc..

thank you for passing by my small simple woek of translation
by the waay about credits to the owner
if you want to add them i dont mind
your way in give the credits is better then my way
im not good Enough in English

@Michael_vx sure no problem, I added a small notice to the end of your tutorial.

thank you for the tip
ill try keep that in mind

There might not be a limit on bandwidth, but there has to be some kind of limit on a free account.  Maybe there is a limit on the storage space.  If you have a large forum that has many members, it would quickly use up any limit.

If you could figure out a way that members can use their own accounts, it would be better.

not possible unless our Master @Ange Tuteur find a way to let the Script ask users for there accounts

Theoretically it's possible, but the user would need to register their own personal client id. I suppose after registration you could save that data to a profile field for the user, so they don't have to constantly input their id.

Please do not think I am saying that this tutorial is not great, but I just was wondering about the account.

@Ange Tuteur
using profile feild to imgur api so it can be saved for each user to have his own access to his images in imgur

looks great idea

@SLGray
no lol im not thinking about that
i know your worry about storage and space for big forums but for me since i never owned a big forum i cant tell nor good is bad to use one api for the whole users
you right in worry about big forums i cant blame you
my forum got no more then 81 member im not a user of forumotion i use MyBB forum Script and i love it

---

i hope Ange Tuteur add this option for so i can pick MyBB instead of other
im a little sick of other
