Captain Genaro Posted August 29, 2009 How do I make a file public on brick shelf. Not sure if this is the right place or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Cobra Posted August 29, 2009 Files are public after they are moderated; that may take a few hours or a couple of days. It's not up to you, it's up to the brickshelf moderation team. But each file can be deeplinked or hotlinked as soon as you upload it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Kilroy Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) You cannot, moderators must do it. If you want to post some images from your not public folder, read ImperialShadows' tutorial. Ehh, second. But I've posted a link! Edited August 29, 2009 by Dr Kilroy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spyder Posted August 29, 2009 The pictures go through the moderating team for Brickshelf, and then they become public. I think it takes a couple of days, although I'm not sure of the exact time. BTW: This topic belongs here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Glascott Posted September 8, 2009 Will EB automatically resize images on Brickshelf? I've uploaded to my account there, and the files are large pixel-wise (3008x2000) but a reduced kb/mb size, usually about 300-350 kb. Do i need to re-size them down to 640x480 before deeplinking? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Flitwick Posted September 12, 2009 I'm trying to get an image of Brickshelf and into my Avatar image (it's the same one currently in my sig), and i'm following the simular insructions, but it keeps saying 'Sorry, that is not a valid file extension'. What am I doing wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What am I doing wrong? The file extension is too long. Shorten the name of the file, then re-upload it to your Brickshelf, This will shorten the URL and it will work. I saved the picture, shortened the name, and uploaded it to my BS. See my avatar. If you want, just use the one I uploaded, I promise I won't delete it, unless I'm really mad at you.

Eskallon Posted September 15, 2009 Ok I know that Ive been here a while and can deeplink stuff already but I thought this was the correct place to ask. If I delete pictures from Brickshelf that are in a post here will the ones in the post disappear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted September 16, 2009 If I delete pictures from Brickshelf that are in a post here will the ones in the post disappear? Yes, the deeplink images will disappear as well because the link is no longer active, ended up as a broken link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) What if I do not have a brickshelf. Eeehm, get an account? Or use some other online image hosting service such as flickr (tutorial on posting images from flickr). Edited February 11, 2010 by Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) BStn: Brickshelf thumbnail creator for Eurobricks I have written a small bookmarklet that automates the creation of linked thumbnails for insertion in Eurobricks posts. You still need to 'click through' to the actual picture on Brickshelf, but after that you can hit the button associated with BStn in your bookmarks (Firefox) or favorites (Internet Explorer) bar and it will present you with the BBcode that you can directly put into your Eurobricks post. To put the button on your bookmarks/favorites bar, follow the instructions below (or go down to the bottom of the post for the really easy solution): In Firefox: right click on your bookmarks toolbar folder (the bar by default placed below the address bar) and select 'New Bookmark'. As a 'Name' type "BStn" or whatever you prefer. Under 'Location': (1) type "j a v a s c r i p t :" (get rid of the all the spaces, problem is it won't let me type the word out in full in a post, and without the quotes); (2) copy/past the code below immediately after "j a v a s c r i p t :" (make sure you copy it all in one go). In Internet Exporer: I didn't find an easy way to add an empty new favorite to the 'favorites bar', however you can add any new favorite to the bar by clicking the yellow star with green arrow. You can then change the URL to this favorite, by right-clicking it, choosing properties, and changing the 'URL' on the 'Web Document' tab: (1) type "j a v a s c r i p t :" (get rid of the all the spaces, problem is it won't let me type the word out in full in a post, and without the quotes); (2) copy/past the code below immediately after "j a v a s c r i p t :" (make sure copy it all in one go and that you also remove 'http://', the URL should start with "j a v a s c r i p t :"). On the 'General' tab, the name can be changed to "BStn" or whatever you like. u=location.href;if(u.indexOf("brickshelf.com")!=-1){if(u.indexOf("gallery/")!=-1){i=u.lastIndexOf("/")+1;a=u.substring(0,i)+"thumb/"+u.substring(i)+"_thumb.jpg";void(prompt("BStn:\nCopy/paste the code below to your Eurobricks post:",'[url=\"'+u+'\"][img='+a+'][/url]'));}else{void(alert("BStn:\nMake sure only the picture you want to transform into a thumbnail appears on your screen\n(i.e., keep clicking)."));}}else{void(alert("BStn:\nThe thumbnail creator only works on Brickshelf images."));}; Or simply go here and drag the link you find there to your bookmarks or favorites bar.

Cpt. Dan Posted January 7, 2011 I tried uploading pictures from flikr. I feel like I tried everything but when I do it according to the tutorial it says I cannot upload this type of picture or page or image, I forget. Does anyone know how to make this work or had this problem? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know how to make this work or had this problem? Thanks. When at the picture you want, hit 'Share This' at the top. Click 'Grab HTML/BBCode' to get a box with text to come up. Click the BBCode button, and copy and paste that here. No need to use Eurobricks' 'Insert Image' feature either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
