Imgur Upload, simple image upload from the editor

matteocontrini

ART994 hello, this extension is called "Imgur" for a reason so it will only work with Imgur, sorry. You can use FriendsOfFlarum Upload

Hi, is it possible to make the dimensions "standard" for the forum? I just don't want someone to upload a picture that covers the whole page, so it would be nice to have an option to select the image dimensions that appear in the posts

girefko you can limit max-height of the image with CSS to solve the issue.

.Post-body img {
    max-height: 600px; // or some other value
}

hrvoje_hr Damn I would love to learn more about programming/CSS...

You are just amazing! Thank you that worked 😁

This is a great plugin, but would it be possible to define a folder (accessible via the imgur user account associated with the API key being used) so that files uploaded by the Flarum forum can be managed and monitored there via the GUI?

I am concerned that someone could upload unsuitable content, essentially using my credentials, and I have no way to monitor / ban / remove the offending content from the internet.

matteocontrini

ajmuir the uploaded content is not associated to your account, as far as I know, and they can upload that content to Imgur anyway if they want

ajmuir

matteocontrini The images are uploaded using the API key associated with my account, Imgur will know who they’ve assigned the key to.

@matteocontrini maybe possible to implement this fuctions as and option in your extension with update some bug?

"allows you to add Image and Link without typing markdown code. It will show a pop-up in which you have to enter Title and URL and Click OK and you are done."

Hi i just installed the plugin but when I try to upload any kind of picture(jpg,png etc) it gives an error and it doesn't go through. What could it be the issue?

clarkwinkelmann

aydinknowz what's the error? Anything in the Flarum log file at <flarum>/storage/logs ?

matteocontrini

aydinknowz did you follow the configuration instructions? Could you take a look at the Dev Tools console? You should see the error from the Imgur API there.

matteocontrini silly me, I didn't set the Imgur client id. Unfortunately, they don't let me create an account from Turkey. So I had to disable it. Thank you.

aydinknowz You can skip that step by purchasing a foreign number. That's how I solved this situation. It's not too expensive.

Wonderful extension, thank you very much!
(hoping imgur will never go down, because with that I will use it a lot...)

I was not a fan of the link on the images, but it's really easy to remove it with a little CSS so I don't think it would need any option:

.Post-body a[href*="imgur"] { cursor: default; pointer-events: none; border-bottom:none; }

matteocontrini

TB54 hi, there's already an option to not have a link on images: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/18491-imgur-upload-simple-image-upload-from-the-editor/133

TB54

matteocontrini Oh ok sorry, I read it to fast i didn't understand it was about that. Thanks !

@matteocontrini i found out imgur doesnt work in some country for example if you visit china, and you truly want all images to be showing in the forum for all users, have you thought about it?

instead we could have Postimages.org which has no blocking / limitations.

and they are looking to add to new upcoming softwares, maybe we can get this chance for flarum

Braden hi, that could be an idea for another extension, as this one is called "Imgur Upload" 🙂

I'm personally not using this extension anymore and my audience is limited to my country so it's not something that I felt as an issue, though.

Teddan

Braden actually you can try cheverto , there is an extension working fine.

Braden

matteocontrini that could be an idea for another extension

That will be too kind of you 👍

TB54

A little question about this extension: do you have an idea of how much are the risks to see the images being deleted one day?

I have bad memories of imageshack, or other image servers, which were used a lot in the phpBB forums, with images disappearing (and therefore disappearing from the topics) after a year or two. I thought it would be different here as the images would here be attached to a imgur account, but i realize the image are not considered that way (if I login to imgur with the account I used for this extensions, the images uploaded with this extension on my forum are not present in my account).

Any experience from anyone with imgur and how much time image last?

matteocontrini

TB54 I'm pretty sure I asked them in the past but I can't find the email message, maybe try contacting their support.

Anyway I'm pretty sure the answer is something that contains "forever", at least until images are still viewed every now and then.
