New image format support .webp

[Lvnt]

Can you add support for uploading .webp format? MyBB's default img bbcode can handle that format as you can see below.


It can reduse disk space and bw usage insanly

any news?

[MyBBHacks]

Still looking into it.
Downside seems only chrome supports it. Firefox doesn't do anything.

[Lvnt]

Yes currently firefox does not support it. But modern browsers eventually will add support. we are talking about google's lol. also currently chrome got 60% percent of market according to w3

In the files look for

$extensions = array(
1 => 'gif',
2 => 'jpeg',
3 => 'png',
5 => 'psd',
6 => 'bmp',
7 => 'tiff',
8 => 'tiff',
9 => 'jpeg',
14 => 'iff',
);

Change to


$extensions = array(
1 => 'gif',
2 => 'jpeg',
3 => 'png',
5 => 'psd',
6 => 'bmp',
7 => 'tiff',
8 => 'tiff',
9 => 'jpeg',
14 => 'iff',
18 => 'webp',
);
