[nodebb-plugin-imgur] Imgur Plugin

[julian]

Ideally we'd have a plugin that was "nodebb-plugin-uploads-local" or something, which was one that wrote to disk where NodeBB is running and serves using connect.static or something.

Yeah, that's the idea whenever we create hooks to move core features to plugins. When we move search to its own hooks, a Reds NodeBB plugin will be created.

I'm not sure about this, but are uploads sorted by month and year? If not, any plans to make it so?

@planner For the S3 Uploads plugin I just released, I used UUID's, but it's fairly straight forward to write a plugin that stores the files with a different name format.

Hi @baris ,

After installed client id to setting, everytime i try to upload images it just give an error "invalid image". Please help

[psychobunny]

I had the same problem too... make sure you updated the plugin to latest

npm install nodebb-plugin-imgur

[portlet]

npm install nodebb-plugin-imgur

@psychobunny Yup, mine is the latest one, but still unluck, did u manage to make it work?

Any chance to import from an image url ?

@baris, how exactly should the imgur app be configured?

https://api.imgur.com/oauth2/addclient

[baris]

Just pick an application name and use Anonymous usage without user authorization rest is optional.

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@baris imgur insists on this

Authorization callback URL

What should I do?

[baris]

Just put in your site url.

Hi @Baris, is there a way to configure the plugin to upload the images to a specific account? I believe the current plugin uploads everything to the "anonymous" area.

[DanaGriffin]

@baris is there a reason why it wont allow pdf uploads? I keep getting an error that uploads are not enabled.

[a_5mith]

@DanaGriffin Imgur will only allow images, if you want to upload other files, you will need to use the local file uploader.

[DanaGriffin]

@a_5mith is there a reason why I can do it on the website then? here is a scanned pdf on imager.

edit: looks like it converts it to a png...huh

Can you upload other files no problem? Not sure if the imgur plugin works with PDF in that case then. Not sure if it uses "allowed" file types.

[DanaGriffin]

@a_5mith Yeah all other files upload without a hitch.

Some observations,

In community nodebb forums, the image uploads i made have the https url (https://i.imgur.com/WUSfO3l.jpg) , however in my own hosted forums, the images i upload have the http url,

eg: http://i.imgur.com/yieHx4c.png

how do i configure it to auto use the https url?

[baris]

What version of the plugin do you have? The latest versions always return https.
