UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas Upload Images Hack

Hi guys,
I think this could be a very good hack idea:

Do an Hack that let you insert your own images (on your local drive) uploading them to a path you with.
This hack should have the following features:
- Possibility to chose in control panel the directory where all uloads will be stored in (Using Absolute path)
- Possibility to set maximum upload size in control panel
- Add a button like "Your image" in the posting screen.

This hack should work like this:
An user is writting a new message and want to post an image he have on his local hard drive, he click the button "Your image", a pop-up screen appear and here he can browse his hard drive and find the image he wanna insert, then he click OK and the image is uploaded to the place one the web the administrator decided and in the message a code linking to that image is filled...

Is there any great boy that can do this ?
Is it possible or I'm telling you stupid things ?
Surfing the web I found an "Upload.cgi" script that can be used to do this...

Bye

I think it would be much better if all of this was handled through the "my profile page," where the user could view/delete/manage his/her files in their own directory.

Of course, the administrators should have options in the cp to restrict certain file types and file sizes.
