[nodebb-plugin-imgbed] Image Embedding with only a URL

Bri

I hadn't had the chance to look into any sort of integration with imgur, so sorry about that! If anyone wants to take a stab at that for now I would be paying attention to any pull requests

any update on integration with imgur upload through api function?

I found a bug, but when I headed over to GitHub the files are totally different so I'll tell you here...

Valid URL: http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2014/09/TWDS5_2Sht_FM3_2.jpg?q=fhye

the above should work, but it doesn't due to the dots in stg.ign.com and the query string, I've changed the library.js file to be more liberal:

regexStr = '<a href="(https?://.+\.(' + extensions.join('|') + ')).*">[^<]*<\/a>';

Should anyone else have this problem, then that'll work for you!

Can anyone get this to work on 6.0?

Bri

@kevin I'll be fixing it up this week(end)

kevin

@BDHarrington7 you are beautiful man.

Bri

@kevin I've pushed the updates to github on my master branch if you need to get your hands on it ASAP, but I haven't tested the uploading part yet (which hasn't been published to npm yet, as it's still probably broken). Anywho basic parsing for images should work

kevin

It's working great man.

Thanks, @bitcalc for finding that. I was trying to make the regex more efficient by not using the .* pattern, but with urls like that, it might not be possible. Good find!

Bri

@kevin Glad to hear it! I just pushed a pretty big update to npm, so you should be able to pull / install soon. It's a much cleaner approach, but it's still a little disabled in the fact that you can't specify your own extensions (yet, I still have to work out the saving settings part)

Bri

This plugin's admin panel has been broken for a while but I just fixed it this weekend along with some other improvements current version is now 0.2.0. Cheers!

Bri

Updated with package info to be visible in 0.8.x. Sorry about that oversight!

Spin0us

Why is there a difference between the version on github (v1.1.6) and the one indicated in the admin (0.2.1)?

EDIT: ok, in fact we need to install it using npm install nodebb-plugin-imgbed instead of ACP.

Is this plugin dead @bri? Should I look to use something else?

@JaredBusch user Bri hasn't been online since 10 Mar 2021, 19:12, so my advice would be to use something else if you can.

Bri

Yeah I stopped maintaining that a while ago, it was a good exercise and an example of how to build a plugin but ultimately it’s redundant: markdown already has the capability to insert images.

Open to PRs and / or a new maintainer!
