Button for embedding images from Google Drive

[toretorden]

Hi there, folks!

So, my preferred way of hosting images for embedding on my forum is currently to upload them to google drive and embed them from there.

I can share files on Google drive and then share a link to them. A link might look like this:

Code Select Expand

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XneYbFsdVgELqLGwTgOvIcsZ_11-ry1L/view?usp=drive_link
In order to embed it on my forum, I have to make the following changes:

Code Select Expand

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1XneYbFsdVgELqLGwTgOvIcsZ_11-ry1L
The changes are:

• The "/view?usp=drive_link" suffix is removed
• the "file/d/" part is swapped for uc?id=

The modified URL can be embedded with:

[img]https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1XneYbFsdVgELqLGwTgOvIcsZ_11-ry1L[/img]

Although it's not a lot of work manually changing this URL, I would prefer to have a quick button above posts that helps me do this quicker, much like the youtube button. Unfortunately, I haven't done modifications like this in SMF before.

Are anyone here able to guide me in this?

Which files need to be modified? Where should the code(s) be inserted? Will I need an image for a new button?
