Hi guys,

Can someone let me know how to post pics via the iPad without having to use photobucket or the like.

Thanks,

G'day guys,

Anyone come up with a solution for this yet? Would love to be able to Blogg as I go from the iPad..

Cheers,
Glenn

G'day Glenn Photobucket has an app and then you can post your pics up via that.

Edit: sorry just noticed you didn't want to use photobucket, hopefully someone else may help I dont have an iPad so I cant help you there :noidea: Expanda may have a suggestion for you though

In the mean time I'll give photobucket a go, not sure how it will go for photo sizes etc..

Thanks

You should be able to post your photos as per normal to the site....

What is happening when you view the site on the ipad?

If you are getting sent to the mobile style click the button down the bottom for "Full Site" and you should see the entire site functionality.

Expanda,

This is what you see on an IPAD, missing the option to "select a file"

Hi Cootay
An iPad doesn't really have such a concept as a directory to choose files from.
Ever heard of "The Cloud"? iPad uses that. For photos the cloud is photobucket or smugmug or a million other online options.
That's why select a file is disabled.
So create an account on photobucket, upload pics to there and then use the URL option instead of the file upload on this forum.

Whilst Photobucket works, other apps, such as facebook etc can access files from the photolibrary / camera roll. Just a lot less effort required.

I'm not sure if forum apps such as forum runner etc may support use of photo upload directly?

 

[Cootay]

Thanks Brad. I've had a photobucket account for a few years and understand the concept. Other sites have the functionality to select form your iPad (or iCloud) photo album and upload. No big deal, thought it might of been an easy fix

Posted directly from the iPad photo library. It can be done. Yay!!

So easy!!

C'mon shadow, let me in on the secret.....

Like this idea. Can you just give simple explanation of steps to follow please. Got a good iPad but thick brain.

 

[shadow75]

Sorry for the delay, distracted.

There is an app called iCab Mobile (Web Browser) $1.99

It allows you to upload / download etc.. very cool..

Champion Shadow, thanks

Thanks Shadow75, Even an old dog can learn new tricks.

So in summary the ipad standard browser is locked down to not allow access to the gallery etc.

But grabbing the app allows unlocked access to the gallery when using the forum.

I love my android device .....

After further reading, it is rumor that in iOS 6 (next major update) this may be added as a 'feature', but I will believe it when I see it.

OK. Ready. Have this page open in iCabMobile.
click on Quick Reply below this message
click on the Insert Image icon (tree thingy 3rd from right) in the menu bar at top of new message box
...the Insert Image screen opens
select "from computer"
Click on "select file"
Select "JPEG"
And small file size "320px"
New screen opens
click "photos" centre bottom icon
select "photos" in box (same icon)
And your Photos folder should come up
select the pic you wish to upload and
click "upload file(s)
Good luck.

Thanks xpandafan!

Doesn't seem to offer "select file" every time
