Hello all,
I know, i've just registered and already asking for help ^^
But I need something done, and I dunno where to start actually :/

I own a website, eih.bz (yeah theme aint finished yet, add /beta/ to see the new one )
it's an image hosting site, full legal, no illegal stuff on it etc.
We already have some nice tools to make uploading/remoting images faster but in the last weeks more and more people are asking me for the chrome addon so they easily can remote images.

I already have a FireFox addon that does this:
- Right click on the image in the browser to re-upload it to EIH
- I have a button next to the address bar (same as our favicon)

--> click on it: it opens EIH in the same tab
--> middle mouse click: opens in new tab

So yeah, that's a simple one.

I'm wondering if someone could do the same but for chrome?
I'm willing to make a little donation if needed, if not, I could include somewhere a link to your site or w/e saying "chrome addon by xxx"

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards, pi0

First thing Id do if I was you would be to offer a bookmarklet, the advantage of a bookmarklet is they can run on any browser (including mobile devices and what not). Just get them to open the image in a new tab and then click on the bookmarklet. Put the following code in a link for a bookmarklet....

Code:

javascript:location.href = "http://www.epicimagehost.com/?url=" + location.href;

Here's a very simple extension for you....
EpicImageHost.zip
....you'll need to pack it or upload it to Google.

You might also think of asking this extensions author......
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...nfoccbdpeagdah
...if he would include your service, could help with your exposure if nothing else.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot buddy, but I still dont know how to pack it, with winrar and .xpi as extension? That's for ff, but also for chrome?

I'll contact that guy, thanks a lot!

Best regards

I didn't pack it as I thought you might like to check the text as I did it rather quickly.
You can find instructions on packing it for chrome here......

Wow, awesome work mate, I appreciate it.
What if I want it more advanced? Like capturing only a selected area or capturing the whole active page..
Got any tips for me?
