FriendsOfFlarum upload, the intelligent file attachment extension

abczoujin

Hello, my configuration is the default configuration, and the local network can't upload pictures. I previously configured advanced S3 storage settings to connect OSS object storage, but it's not good. The expansion of PHP has installed FileInfo, opcache and EXIF

Thank you for your help to see how and where the problem is. Thank you very much

abczoujin I think you might have inserted a space between \ / in the MIME configuration. This causes the regex to contain an escaped space instead of escaped forward slash, end at / and PHP tries to read .* as a regex modifier. Try removing the space (correct raw value: image\/.*)

Sorry, I'm totally out of the loop, but it looks like freeflarum: you have "local" option enabled on freeflarum? (it's not on mine). There is a way to upload images on a FTP from freeflarum?

Thank you very much. After referring to other people's mime configuration, I can upload it
Now I have another question about how to upload videos. Which tutorial is the tutorial for this plug-in to upload videos?

clarkwinkelmann

Justoverclock the error appears to come from Flarum's tooltip component. Maybe it's because this extension switches its button content depending on the state of upload and Flarum tries to update the old button? Not sure 🤔

I don't think we have any tutorial. You can configure the MIME type for the desired file formats you want to allow, but FoF Upload doesn't have any built-in player. You could try to use the AutoVideo feature from FoF Formatting, but for anything more advanced you will need a different extension or get new features added to this one.

i get an error after any image upload (that works fine btw)

clarkwinkelmann yep I suppose that is exactly this, should be easy to fix

Version 1.2.0

Added MIME inspection tool by @clarkwinkelmann
Added support for AWS instance credentials by @grimmdude
Improve empty file list styling on user profile by @datlechin

The new MIME inspection tool is accessible through the FoF Upload admin page and lets you test what values will be detected by FoF Upload if that file was uploaded by a regular user.

This is intended mostly for troubleshooting issues. Please be careful if copying MIME types from the inspection modal, as some MIME values are extremely broad and will allow a large range of actual file types.

Hi,

I have a slight issue with this extension, when I upload a file that is about 25Kb with a resize of 700px, on the web page if I download the file it is much larger (over 100Kb) and the quality is poor.

I am using local storage and version 1.2

Any ideas?

I'm still interested is someone knows about this, because I just realized the imgur automatical upload extension is illegal – and therefore the associated account could be shut down, I have to find an alternative.

TB54 I don't think freeflarum supports uploads. AWS is fairly cheap though as disk space in general isn't expensive. You could try that.

TB54

luceos I didn't thought of AWS, as I already have a FTP (so not ideal to buy for space as I already have it), but it's maybe the best option indeed.

luceos

TB54 Local isn't FTP. You would need an FTP adapter/driver for fof/upload. Something like that should be fairly easy to create as fof upload allows upload adapters to be added.

TB54

Oh, i thought it was the same thing (we reach my knowledge limits...)

luceos Something like that should be fairly easy to create as fof upload allows upload adapters to be added.

Well, I'm definitely not able to code that, but that would be a great option for the extension! Specially as I suppose a lot of people host flarum on a FTP (well, if I still understand what that means: I mean space for web hosting).

I have found out that anyone can abuse this upload feature on my Flarum to upload unlimited photos and never actually post them instead they can use it somewhere else. Now it isn't that bad when imgur in ON but it is really a pain when the local option is ON. I will be getting a lot of spam images in my assets/files directory because of this.

do we have an option to purge the uploaded photos that aren't used anywhere in the Flarum discussions or in replies ?

CyberGene

r4nchy that's the main downside of this extension and as far as I understand it's close to impossible for this to be fixed. It would require an additional extension that performs rather free form search within posts to match against actually stored files and delete those that are not used anywhere. I considered writing my own Java program which would do that by using the Flarum REST API (to crawl through posts and check for images, file links, etc.) and also the Amazon AWS S3 bucket (the storage I use) and compare them and then remove the unused files. However I have no spare time for that (pretty busy with my day job and family time), so I never started work on that. I think the entire design of the FoF Upload extension is wrong from the ground up. They probably need to rewrite it, so that every upload is being tracked and every physically stored file has a corresponding DB entity which is then linked to every post where that file/image is being used. The current design doesn't allow for that.

luceos

r4nchy I have this high on my todo. Considering this extension is open source I had hoped it would have been resolved sooner. I'm sorry that this behavior isn't really beneficial to your hosting environment.

BurnNoticeSpy there are events that one can hook into, so it is possible.

Would it be particularly difficult to modify this to also generate smaller thumbnails of the original?
