[nodebb-plugin-imgur] Imgur Plugin

DanaGriffin

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

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

@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.

Was getting this error:

Using latest (as of yesterday night) nodebb 0.6.x and version of latest plugin.

Couldn't repro this, but I went ahead and updated the dependencies on the imgur plugin. The new version is 0.1.2. I can upload images fine with that version and nodebb commit https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/8d8731c609cc470d4cba6d477d914fc17b850c37

@baris to be fair it seems to work just uploading images but when I was using a plugin from @Schamper which set avatars it always seemed to error out. (Only the imgur plugin though, not his).

I'll give it a go with the updated dependencies.

Schamper

@baris @Chris to add to that, it's regarding setting a user avatar using a url.

<baris>

Took a look into this, it is caused by this change https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/969c3a77cf3eb3327402df731c9152ac8cd626e2.

The plugins for filter:uploadImage doesn't send the passed in data as is but only returns an object that is {url: 'uploaded url', name: 'file name if any'} This is quite different than other plugins that pass back whatever is sent in. Obviously that doesn't work for upload plugins. For example you pass in a file object that points to a tmp file on disk and get back an url.

I'll revert that change for now and use the correct data.url property.

Schamper

@baris I'm not even calling the hook directly, but piggybacking it from the user.uploadProfileImageFromUrl socket endpoint.

<baris>

Well SocketUser.uploadProfileImageFromUrl was crashing, it shouldn't crash now.

Is there any way to change this so this so the end result is simply a URL without all the markdown? When combined with the other image embed plugin there isnt a need for it, so it would be a bit cleaner looking to the end user. Thanks.

Chris

Updated to latest tonight and getting an error again. @baris was anything changed?

Anyone know if something was changed that would cause that error?

<baris>

Works for me on latest master with the 0.1.2 version of the plugin.

I tried installing this plugin today but I am getting this error as soon as I hit the install button:

Failed to parse json Unexpected token <

This is on NodeBB v0.5.7 hosted on nodebb.com

EDIT: after upgrading to 0.6.0 it is working

<baris>

Updated to 1.0.0, switched to oauth and uploading to accounts/albums.
