Does anyone know of a good website service or something to give my app users the ability to post pics via the app? I could use a custom URL plugin, but what sites work the best?

Hey teamcaz. I use the image emailer plugin for users to post pics to a Flickr account. I combine this with the Mac image gallery plugin to show the Flickr images. You can check it out in my app "pets 411".

Yup, exactly the same, works a treat :)

@Red Dog, which market is your app it. Would like to see how you did the image feature. Thanks, Howard

Same here. Mac gallery to link to a set on Flickr. User emails the pic, and I manually move it into the set before it can be seen in the gallery. This way I can filter any junk

@trouty. Yep. I do the same. I put a line in the email image code to make sure I get blind copied when a user uploads a photo so I can check Flickr immediately on my phone and mark it public.

Sorry to jump in, but can you put in multiple sets? As in say pictures that belong in set A, another group of pictures that are the same so they are in set B etc. Possibly up to 10 different sets, that the users of the app can choose to view? That way I would be able to move photos they uploaded in the proper titled sets.?

Red Dog, thank you for the info... I downloaded your app and this is exactly what I want to do with my app... My issue is that although I do have the mac image gallery included in my app, but the image emailer plugin I do not have... I know how to add plugins and such but how do I go about adding the image emailer plugin and setting it up without affecting the live version? I am not self hosting, and this is for an IOS app. Do I just make a new app and submit it as an update to the exsisting live version? or is there an easier way? Thanks again

Hey Caz. One of the great things with Buzztouch is that you can create new screens for a published app as long as the plugin was included with your sorce code. But, since you don't have the image emailer plugin, you would have to submit a new update to the iTunes app store once you compile it with the added plugin.

Red Dog, so how do I go about connecting the image emailer to the Mac image gallery plugin along with a Flickr account, is it hard to do?

Sorry Caz. I've been out in this heat all day. It is very easy to setup and I can throw out a video tomorrow if you like.

That would be so appreciated! So if I add a plugin to the app that wasn't included in the original live app it won't screw it up? Won't I have to assign it to a screen before I submit? I would think that that would do something to the live version...

For setting up the Flickr set, check out absentia's post here......... http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=C80526FCA9EE0456D62FF91&tid=C80526FCA9EE0456D62FF91

For updating apps that are already published, see gonorthwests posts here............ https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=E4D0A2B46D03DD63549B371&currentPage=1

Ok I will take a look, thank u for that video tomorrow!

Red dog, were you able to create a video yet?

Sorry Caz. Major headaches at work. I will try to get to this tonight.

Hi Caz. Here is a very rough video showing how to use a Flickr account as a Gallery in Buzztouch. You will need to get your Flickr gallery email address and a Flickr API key: < i will send you links via email > (I don't want my api key posted here) Images can be uploaded private so you can preview them and mark safe pics to public to see them in the gallery. we can visit that when you are ready.

PM me, or let me know an email to send the links to. Thanks.

Thank u!
