Ability to paste images from clipboard (a-la Github Issues)

dimkir

When writing a post you often need to embed an image. However this image has to be uploaded and hosted somewhere. When you have your image in your clipboard, (or even as a file on your computer), this may become a very tedious endeavor.

Github issues offers this ability to listen for image paste (or drag and drop) and automatically upload it to cloud storage and insert markdown link to image.

This would be very handy to have in Flarum.

There seems to be an open source implementation of such a functionality : http://git.razko.nl/InlineAttachment/ Which may be inspired on or integrated.

dimkir flagrow/upload has both features ?

@luceos sounds exactly like what I am looking for.

Just checked the Flagrow/upload on Github and wanted to share my first impressions:

The installation is so simple, that it is a bit scary
composer require flagrow/upload

I am coming from Symfony and used to the fact that new packages sometimes have breaking changes or some weird incompatabilities. After installing Flarum couple of days ago, I was seeing "Do not use it in production!!!" message dozen of times. So now when I have to add an "extension" i am concerned if it will break my current installation of flarum... (Questions I am asking myself - will it update composer.json? Will it register something in the Flarum bootup lifecycle, will it change some configuration in the DB? and will it be possible to remove the extension just as easily if it breaks the installation.).

Maybe all of that is just paranoia, but I just wanted to share the experience of someone who comes from PHP but tries Flarum for the first time.

dimkir er flarum is based on laravel which is based on symfony. Laravel has package auto discovery. For plugins of a web management tool to have more intelligence than when handling a standard library isn't too illogical.

Ok. I tried installing flagrow/update and later also S3 upload adapter and then configured S3 credentials via control panel.

Also I flipped "Upload Images" permission to "Members"
members

But now I am getting this error:

error

This error is only shown to non-admin logged user. If I open "In private" tab or keep browsing logged as admin, there's no error. So I presume this is somehow related to permission management of the open session...

I assume all other non-admin logged in users will see this message :S

ps. I cleared cache using php flarum cache:clear :S
pps. I tried flipping permissions back to "Admin", but that doesn't change anything...

UPDATE
flarum.log doesn't log anything related to this error upon opening of the page. The only record in the log is this and seems to be unrelated:

Also disabling flagrow/upload from Control Panel removes the error.

luceos

dimkir just clear the cache.

php flarum cache:clear
And cache clear your browser hard
If using cloudflare clear cache there too.

dimkir

I tried clearing cache on the server with php flarum clear:cache but it didn't help.

Also I am not sure approach of clearing cache on browser is the right way to go. I can hard-clear the cache on my machine, but what about other users who are using forum from their laptops.

ps. is there a way to debug this error? Is there a log-level I can set to higher? (Because I assume there was some exception thrown to cause the error message, so I assume it should be possible to find logs of it somewhere) ?

luceos

dimkir storage logs flarum.log

dimkir

Tried that, no relevant error messages there (see the post above with the actual log content)
