FriendsOfFlarum upload, the intelligent file attachment extension

ctml

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.

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

Anyone can quite easily introduce their own Template:

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

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

luceos perhaps one of the template options could be markdown?

ctml

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

luceos by reading the actual code.

Actually, there's a wiki page with all the details https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/upload/wiki/Custom-Templates

I just noticed the first post of this discussion wasn't up to date with the README on GitHub and as such didn't contain the link to the FAQ article. I have now updated it.

dyzdyz010 did you get this resolved? I have the same error thrown when uploading mp4 files.

MIME Type: ^video\/mp4$

[2021-02-26 19:45:05] flarum.ERROR: FoF\Upload\Exceptions\InvalidUploadException: No files were uploaded in /usr/share/nginx/flarum/vendor/fof/upload/src/Api/Controllers/UploadController.php:55

Edit: works for small video files (e.g. 6 MB) but not a larger 90 MB file. Max size is set to 100000000 KB in the extension settings, and client_max_body_size is 100 MB. It's throwing a 500, if it were size or timeout related I should be seeing something else. So not sure if it's something on my end I can fix?

clarkwinkelmann 🤦 oh wow that is awesome!

IanM I have same issue after install 12.10 on flarum beta.15
Error is :
InvalidArgumentException
Failed importing file due to No hint path defined for [fof-upload.templates].

How can I solve?
thanks
vittorio

clarkwinkelmann

vittorioeco this is caused by a different extension not being properly compatible with the latest Flarum version. You can try using the Extiverse Helper to try to find which one it could be, or try disabling other extensions until the issue stops.

I had already checked, I had no incompatible extensions. But now I have disabled all third party extensions minus fof / upgrade and then re-enabled them all one at a time. And now everything works. Perhaps the problem was the sequence of enabling the modules. However Flarum has become the best forum around.
Thanks for your indication and congratulations to all those who have worked on it over the years.

Hello,
I am having a little trouble with uploading text files, particularly .txt and .csv.
My MIME types currently look like this:

images, video, word, pdf, zips etc are all uploading fine, Just not .txt and .csv.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks, Marc

Thank you @JasperVriends for putting this together, and to @davwheat for helping me with the hiding feature!

IanM woow, Perfect!!!

Currently can user remove his her uploded files before?

ctml

IanM been looking forward to this update, it is a game changer for uploads. Thanks @JasperVriends!

fakruzaruret

IanM this update is so good I use Beta 15 and I think there is a bug. Media library show images as duplicated. Their links url are same but it shows more than one. Also I would like to offer a new feature for next releases. May be added undo option on toast notification appear after hide image from media library.

fakruzaruret Currently can user remove his her uploded files before?

Any user can remove (hide from media manager) their own uploads. There is an additional permission to allow admins/mods/etc the permission to remove those of others

0.13.1

Whoopsies, we let a small error creep through in 0.13.0, but this fixes it!

Corrected Upload button tooltips to not show text containing false

Update using:

composer update fof/upload

If you're already on 0.13.1, please double-check that this issue doesn't exist for you. If it does, follow these steps.

MikeJones

So if I got this right, you can upload a bunch of files then use the media manager to select items for your post?

Is the media manager only contain media for a post or all users uploads?

When will beta16 be supported?
