Servimg tutorial


Servimg & Servimg PRO Title

Servimg is a free image hosting service. It allows to host images (10 MB max and 32 MB in PRO version) in different formats: bmp, gif, png, jpg and tif. A specificity of Servimg: it is totally reserved for Forumotion forums users! cheers

To host an image on Servimg, you will need an account.


Servimg account

Registration

It is not possible to create an account on Servimg directly, as this hosting service is only for Forumotion forums users. Therefore, the creation of a Servimg account is done automatically when:

  • a user creates a Forumotion forum. The email address and password used when creating the forum will be the same for creating the Servimg account ;

  • a user registers on a Forumotion forum and hosts an image via the message editor. The email address and password used when registering on the forum will be the same for creating the Servimg account. In the event that the member already has an account on Servimg, registered with the same email address, he/she will be automatically identified to it when hosting an image.

Hosting from the editor

To host an image on Servimg, first click on the following icon, which will allow you to open this window:

Servimg & Servimg PRO Servim11

Two possibilities :

  • Choosing files via the file explorer: click on "Choose images". You can then choose the image(s) that will be hosted (1) before clicking on "Open" (2). The number of images you can host simultaneously depends on the status of your account (3 in free mode, 25 in PRO mode).

    Example:

  • File selection via drag & drop : you can drag your images from your folder to the Servimg window. The number of images you can host simultaneously depends on the status of your account (3 in free mode, 25 in PRO mode).

    Example:

Post an image in a message

Once you have made your choice, all you have to do is click on the "Send All" button (A), and the hosted images appear. Note that the "Insert All" button (C) allows you to insert all hosted images into the editor.

  • Box 1 corresponds to the direct link of the image, without code;
  • Box 2 corresponds to the BBcode used to insert the image at its actual size;
  • Box 3 corresponds to the BBcode used to insert a thumbnail of the image, with a link to the full-size image.

Organize images hosted on Servimg

Set up a category


Create a new category

In order to be able to classify your different images, Servimg offers you to create up to 32 categories. By default, you have the categories Root Folder and Trash Folder (which are not included in the 32). To create a category, simply fill in the field corresponding to New category with its name. The name is limited to32 characters:

Example:

In the same way, you can create others. They will be displayed in the list of categories, and you can select the category in which an image will be hosted from the sending form:

Example:

After creating the category, you will not be able to edit its name. In case of errors (spelling mistakes), make a new category and delete the old one.


Allow images browsing

By default, all images within a category can only be viewed if a user has links to them. However, you have the possibility to make one (or more) category(ies) public. Scrolling arrows then appear on the image viewing page, allowing you to switch from one image to another within the category.

To make a category public, simply click on the category, check the allowed navigation box and save.

Example (private category):
Example (public category):

Delete or move an image in a category

To delete or move one (or more) image(s) to another category, it is necessary:

  1. select the category in which the images to be deleted/moved are located;
  2. to check the image(s) to be deleted / moved;
  3. to click on the Delete /move to button, after which you can choose the new category.

In case of deletion, your image(s) are kept for 30 days before final deletion from the action. Your images have been sent in the category Trash folder. Thus, in the event of an error, you have the possibility to restore them (within the limit of 30 days). However, you do not have to wait 30 days for the images to be deleted. You can force them to be deleted by going to the Trash folder (see next point).

Delete a category

To delete a category, select it from the category list and click the Delete this category button.

Example:

If this category contains images, they will be moved to the Root Folder.

Trash folder management

From the trash folder, you can restore images that were deleted less than 30 days ago, or permanently delete images.

To restore one (or more) image(s), go to the trash, check the image(s) to restore, and click the Restore button. The restored images return to the category they were in before the deletion. You can also use the "move to" button to restore the images by moving them to the category of your choice.

To empty the trash folder, click on the "Clean trash" button. This action will delete all the images irreversibly!
