FriendsOfFlarum upload, the intelligent file attachment extension

Lodgee Try adding ^application\/pdf as MIME-type in FoF Upload.

Lodgee

wolfman I added it to 'configure your mime type, upload adapter mapping' but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm just using the Free Flarum at the moment, would that be the problem?

wolfman

Lodgee Sorry, i never used Free Flarum. It might be possible, that it is generally not possible there to upload PDFs. Can you upload images? Is your PDF smaller than the max upload size configured?

luceos

Lodgee did you also save that entry? Can you capture the upload settings page and share it here?

Lodgee

wolfman yes it's only a one page document I'm currently testing, but I get an alert saying 'Uploading files of this type is not allowed'. I can upload images no problem.

Lodgee

luceos I've just posted the screenshot here https://forum.fnqautonomynetwork.org/d/169-pdf. I've tried a few different combinations and saved it many times testing it.

Lodgee I never used S3 for uploading with FoF Upload, but i am pretty sure you have to provide your AWS S3 storage settings which are empty in your screenshot (do not post your Key and Secret here!).

I am not aware, if Free Flarum allows local storage. That might be the easiest option.

Lodgee

wolfman I don't know what AWS S3 storage settings are?

luceos

wolfman I am not aware, if Free Flarum allows local storage. That might be the easiest option.

FreeFlarum doesn't allow Local no. That would be very risky.

wolfman You selected S3 as your storage-backend in your Screenshot. So S3 or Simple Storage Service is an object storage to upload files to. Those files are organized in so called "Buckets". Most popular is AWS S3. You can create an account with AWS, configure S3 and provide your settings in the FoF Upload plugin.

@Lodgee the above would be very decent instructions to get started on s3, just google Amazon s3.

Or simply select and use local storage. 😉

I am interested in the AWS S3 upload, however I can't make it working.

I registered for AWS and created a free tier bucket. I installed the AWS extension and applied the bucket policy as required. The bucket is also publicly accessible.

Then I configured the key, secret, bucket, region, however uploading files doesn't work. I'm testing with a WAV file that used to work with local storage, here are my settings:

What am I doing wrong? I tried to put the short name of my bucket as well as the full URN (as in the screenshot), I also tried to use just "us-east-1" as region, nothing works. The error Flarum gives me is "Uploading files of this type is not allowed". If I try with MP3 then the error is something goes wrong and I have to reload the page. Is there any log that I can check for more hints?

wolfman

CyberGene The arn (Amazon Resource Name) is not your Bucket - but it could refer to it! Bucket should be the name you gave your bucket like cybergene-flarum-upload-bucket. The Bucket-Name gets to be part of the URL - like https://cybergene-flarum-upload-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com - to access your uploaded files, therefore some restrictions in naming apply.

CyberGene

wolfman yes, that too! Finally all is working, thanks.

CyberGene

OK, I solved it, found the logs for the extension in storage/logs and noticed that the regions must be the short one us-east-1 and then it turned out that I should also wildcard all audio MIME types as ^audio\/.*. Explicitly listing them for some reason didn't work.

wolfman

CyberGene You're welcome! 😀

Star

I have the same problem. Who can tell me, is it really because my data is prefixed too long? How can I change them and insure the database can be used sequentially？ 🤣

luceos

Star your flarum table prefix is too long, how long is it?

luceos flarum_

Yolo This is an issue with browsers, nothing the plugin or flarum can control.

Browsers scan files and "guess" the type, they don't correctly post gpx mime type as gpx, they post it as XML because the first line of GPX is xml.

^application\/.*xml is the correct value (tested on chrome, FF, and IE)
