you could just add some JavaScript to parse it client side.
That is more than likely what I'll have to do for now until this can passed globally. Thanks @pitaj
Hello,
When I upload a catagory picture as an admin, it stores the path on redis to the image like such "http://127.0.0.1:4567/uploads/picture.png"
I need the stored path to only be "/uploads/picture.png" to work properly. Where is that code located that uploads the image path to redis? Thanks
this is not uploading to redis, this is actually on the file system.
cd [NODEBB_INSTALLATION_PATH]/public/uploads
ls
# you will see the files there
I need the stored path to only be "/uploads/picture.png" to work properly. Where is that code located that uploads the image path to redis? Thanks
I am not sure what you mean by that, you want to get rid of the port number? :4567
?
@bentael yes, I know the image is stored in the file system. What I'm talking about is the file path that is stored in redis.
For example, if the the admin uploads a new catagory image, it will upload the actual file to the file system and a path to that file in to redis. The path string stored in redis includes the loaclhost ip. I just need "/uploads/picture.png" stored as the path so my pages can load the image correctly
ahh, sorry I misread what your post. sorry. let me take a look
it's here.. https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/blob/master/src/routes/admin.js#L102
is this only happening for categories or profile pics as well?
weird, that block never touches the db
same thing. for example, take a look at the user profile pic logic here: https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/blob/master/src/routes/user.js#L180
the resolved path is saved in the db, not the relative path, To fix that, there would more logic involved to check if the image starts with http://
or https://
then load it as it is, if not, then prepend the rootUrl+relativeUrl+uploadPath+imagename
.. i think. .unless they want to keep track on an uploadedimage
just like the code does for the User, I am not too sure they want to deal with it or not.
Even wordpress does that, I hated it when i moved from dev.site to site, or vice versa.
I would submit an issue see what the NBB team have to say.
@bentael k, Whats the easiest way to get into my redis database and manually change the data?
@danBB, that's a bit of a messy situation but you can use the redis-cli
for experts, or you can use a GUI like Redis Commander, npm install redis-commander -g
or something like a webGUI such as http://redsmin.com/
if you are familiar with the redis-cli syntax, just
# on the command line, just type
redis-cli
# if not in your PATH, then just cd to, i.e on my mac it's in Downloads so I just
cd ~/Downloads/redis-2.6.16
./src/redis-cli
if you're not, I would install redis-commander it's awesome, once you install it, just run:
# in your terminal
redis-commander
then visit http://localhost:8081/ to view your db
EDIT yup, @trevor beat me to it as i was typing, but anyways, either ways are not a good solution if you want to edit a large number of records
@bentael We basically posted at the same time and the same thing almost lol.
Also, for editing large number of records, I use redsmin.
@trevor haha yea, I saw your post popup as i was typing, i was so wired that I still posted it anyways.
redsmin
.. hmm .. thanks, I will take a look
Also, for editing large number of records, I use redsmin.
redsmin looks awesome! the graphs and stats, but still not sure how to edit large number of records without writing some logic, just like i would do in the redis-cli or a simple node program, am I missing something?
Thanks guys, manually editing the path in redis fix the image display problem. Temporary fix for now
I am working on the fix hold tight!
@baris Also when I upload a gif it stores it as a png
@danBB There is a setting in admin section to turn images into pngs is that turned on?
@baris no its unchecked, and its only with gifs.
I also wasnt clear I ment that it uploads it to the directory as a gif but labels it as a png in the path string in redis
Is this just for user profile images?
wooops, this is starting to sound like my fault.
edit: if the checkbox is off, this should leave your gifs as is (see my profile pic) - otherwise I guess its a bug
