The scenario is as follows: I am currently building a new forum and need to share some content, which requires a lot of copying and pasting. Some of the pasted images can be displayed directly (although they will be displayed not belonging to my forum but belonging to other websites, which has little impact). I have copied some of the Wikipedia content. Since I am in China, the pasted images cannot be displayed directly, and can only be displayed by connecting to a vpn
The function description of my understanding extension is as follows: For example, when I copy an image and paste it into Edit box for forum posts, the pasted image link will generate a temporary file of the image locally and form a local link to Markdown (while pasting, it is necessary to determine whether the link can be opened or retrieved). After clicking to publish the post, the image will automatically be uploaded to the object storage service, and at the same time, Local temporary file cleanup.Or click Cancel to clear the local temporary file
"I don't understand technology, I just rely on the information I learned online, and I don't know whether this description is correct or not, and I don't know if it can be achieved."
As for the issue and significance of this extension plug-in, I have consulted on the official forum of Flarum in China, as follows:
Possible issues:
1.If someone pastes a 4GB image (which is a super large image anyway), it can lead to a lot of chain problems, such as error reporting, traffic brushing, space occupying, and other issues.". (My idea about this is: Generally speaking, few people copy images with the size of memory. Even in this case, the essence of this plug-in is actually for managers to use themselves. Moreover, in the upload extension, both PHP and PHP can set file upload size limits, or this extension can also incorporate the size limit function of pasted images.)
- The copyright issue of images. My understanding is that extension plug-ins are only a tool, and forum operators will only consider the copyright issue, so this is not a problem
Meaning of existence:
In the early stages of forum construction, there must be a large amount of content to fill in, and copying and pasting must be necessary. Even if the forum has already started to develop, there are also blog and information related information to be published in the forum, and this function is also needed, especially in countries such as China that block Wikipedia and a large number of other websites. In addition, this extension plug-in can be closed at any time, which does not affect the problem of user traffic occupying space
The above is the full description. With so much written, I don't know if there are currently any such extensions or methods that can implement this function, whether they are fake requirements, or whether my description has been cleared. We can share it together.
