[Forum] Invalid Url Error While Insert Image Link

[blue7]

Hi guys after i update vb to last version this problem occured.

Steve said maybe that causing due modifications i've disabled all modifications but problem still going on.

Assuming that is a valid link this has to be either from a modification, a missing fine or a server issue.

To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

[Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

Next, disable all products (except vB Blog, vB CMS and Skimlinks if you have them.)

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Disable

Then manually uncheck all plugins that are not for 'vBulletin Blog' and vBulletin CMS' here:

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager

You must do BOTH of those steps in order to disable all non vBulletin Modifications.

Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it.

Do you have the same problem? If so, you need to contact your host about this.

When i did this :

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Message Attachment Options -> Advanced Insert Image Popup - Enable -> Yes

and unmark "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" this option then i able to insert image link.

So how i could unmark this option default ?

I don't use the Asset Manager OR Advanced Insert Image Popup! My URL images do not work! Invalid URL!

[snerd]

Any update on this bug? Not being able to link to images is major fail.

If you don't use the advanced image pop-up, just open /clientscript/ckeplugins/vbimage/dialogs/image.js
Find

if (dialog.getContentElement('from_url', 'remote_file').getValue())
{
    ...
}
else
{
    this.editor.insertHtml('[IMG]'+url+'[/IMG]');
}

Remove or comment out all ... code in the if clause and replace it with the same line of code as in the else clause.

Make sure you clean your browser cache and it should work

Thanks, that worked.

Try this.

FIXED Image.js (see attachment image)

Here is what I did;

1. DOWNLOAD and unzip the file Image.zip

2. REPLACE the file clientscript/ckeplugins/vbimage/dialogs/image.js with the unzipped version of image.js (BACKUP YOUR OLD VERSION)

3. ENABLE Advanced Insert Image Popup

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Message Attachment Options -> Advanced Insert Image Popup - Enable -> Yes

[snerd]

Try this.

Why would I want to join your forum just to download this fix? Thanks anyway.

there's nothing to do with this, as well as forum modification I guess. It also happens when I test it on a fresh new forum on local server (XAMPP). Still can't post any images. it said Invalid URL.
