Uploading of Gifs
-
@pichalite thanks for letting me know, is it something we could add back?
-
We might do the browsing users as a plugin in the future, just need to take the code that was removed and implement it as a plugin. If you'd like to give it a shot that would be cool
For gif support, install this
GitHub - NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-imagemagick: ImageMagick parsing of avatars and other uploaded image assets

@psychobunny Thanks for getting back to me, I have already installed that plugin and it makes no difference
And I'm not a developer haha so wouldn't no were to begin haha!

So ... this forum is exhibiting exactly the behavior one of my users found on my own forum. First, large uploads result in this:
This one is an Nginx problem, and can be solved by setting client_max_body_size in your Nginx config. Unfortunately, that still leaves this one:
Both of these are from screenshots I just took on this forum, both also happen on my own (0.9.3), even after installing the imagemagick plugin that was suggested by @psychobunny.
Not sure exactly when this problem started, but it's happening with images that used to work on the same forum, prior to some upgrades (maybe 0.9.3, maybe 0.9.x in general).

An admin should know that...

@Shaun Sounds like a bug... regular uploads we don't allow gif because the module we use in the backend (jimp, for those who are wondering) does not support gif.
If you're using a third-party image host, then I see no reason why not to just transparently pass it up...

I blame @Jord

@julian Is there some particular place where this feature can be requested or is it something that the maintainer of say, nodebb-plugin-imgur would have to take care of? I'm running a forum with a focus on animation and while my users can manually upload their gifs directly to imgur and then embed the URL, this is still a big inconvenience over using the the upload button (In conjunction with the imgur API via nodebb-plugin-imgur)
-
Has this been fixed? I have installed the plugin and still cannot upload gifs? I can't get embeds to work either.

@ViolentCrumble I just upgraded my NodeBB to 1.0.2 and updated the Imgur plugin as well and it's working fine for me, now. I don't think it will work with stock NodeBB (see @julian's comment about their backend). You need to use an external image image host via a plugin like the Imgur one.
@julian Definitely fixed for me. As always, thanks for all the effort you guys put into this project.
