FriendsOfFlarum upload, the intelligent file attachment extension

Justoverclock

try to use this extension but i see error on my browser console

luceos

Bishwas-py can you explain the actual issue?

Bishwas-py

luceos It says Uploading files of this type is not allowed for every type of file.

luceos

Bishwas-py why did you combine all your mime types? You can simple add additional ones and then assign one mime type per row:

video\/(3gpp|mp4|mpeg|quicktime|webm) on one row and then the next, because I bet the regex is wrong somewhere

Justoverclock the tcfapi one seems about something not every browser supports, the other one is caused by imgur, I cannot influence either of these as these are used/added by third party libraries.

I see many js error in the browser console, i will post a screen later

Justoverclock

here the error @luceos

luceos but this not affect the forum functionality? now i see that this error is present also in this forum

Bishwas-py

luceos Can we show pdf preview with this plugin?

clarkwinkelmann

Bishwas-py the "preview" template included in this extension currently only works for images, by directing linking to the file inside of an img tag. There's no thumbnail generator.

If we go add some sort of thumbnail generator in the future, then it would be feasible to add thumbnail support for non-image files.

As discussed previously, using a combination of the simple URL template in fof/upload and a custom MediaEmbed template, one could implement a custom preview script on their forum.

What's that URL template?

clarkwinkelmann

Bishwas-py I think it's named "Just URL" in the dropdown.

Are you not finding how to enable it, or are you asking what it looks like once inserted? It just inserts the direct link to the uploaded file in the post body.

Bishwas-py

clarkwinkelmann I am not getting you. I just wanna upload PDF files and render those files in the same webpage. i.e Preview

luceos

Bishwas-py media embed can possibly render pdf, not sure though. For media embed to identify and render such links you need upload to configure to just show the URL, not any bbcode. It's the template option next to the mime that allows defining that.

As said I am not sure whether media embed actually allows rendering this.

In mobile, does it resize video to take the browser width instead of being stretched?

luceos

Ffuser1 have you tried it?

Ffuser1

Yes the video does not automatically resize but then I think the resizing should be handled by the formatter and not this extension.

clarkwinkelmann

Ffuser1 Flarum Upload has no capability to show video by itself, so I assume you are using the "Just URL" template together with the AutoVideo feature in fof/formatting? That extension might come with some default CSS. Otherwise you can probably add your own CSS to customize the video player.

I'm trying to allow a custom file extension to be uploaded (.sq), and I can't manage to do so : Uploading files of this type is not allowed.. Here are my configuration for the extension :

User-provided file extensions: .sq

Should I try to create my own Mime type ? Or to go directly into the code to change that ?

Thanks a lot !

Suggestion:
Allow retrieving the direct link to a non image file, sometimes it is required for integration with other extensions. For example to embed a video using embed video you need to be able to link to the file. Of course once it's uploaded I can go and manually figure out the path, knowing the filename after upload and the date (directory), but it's manual work. That could even be an integration with the new media manager under the pending PR (get link from uploaded item?)... not sure the best way to accomplish this.

Also it would be nice if upload images were displayed in email notifications like externally linked images. I guess the markdown syntax is a bit different, so it does not get converted to HTML. This might have more to do with core, or even using the standard markdown for images with![](https://) rather than a proprietary one [upl-image-preview url=""] unless there is a specific reason for that.

luceos

ctml there is an option in the mimetype configurion called "Just URL"

luceos

Anyone can quite easily introduce their own Template:

create a Template class similar to JustUrlTemplate based off the AbstractTemplate
register it using the util

Upload is very extensible. But you do need to get your hands dirty by reading the actual code.

ctml This might have more to do with core, or even using the standard markdown for images with![](https://) rather than a proprietary one [upl-image-preview url=""] unless there is a specific reason for that.

That bbcode is not proprietary. It natively integrates into the textformatter library. I have no idea why the images aren't rendered inside email.

askvortsov

luceos perhaps one of the template options could be markdown?

ctml

luceos thanks, you are right - I completely missed that template.
