Compose box and Imgur

howardm

Hi,

I've just enable the Imgur plugin. A new picture icon has appeared in the Compose Box.

(Yes, I''ve just confirmed that it is Imgur by posting this :-)

Is there any way to make it clear to a User that this is the proper way to insert an image in the Post ? Nothing shows when I hover the cursor over the little picture icon, and there are now two that are the same. Is there a way to change that icon to something that effectively says "click here to include an image from your computer in your post" ?

Cheers,

Howard

Using the custom CSS (which actually accepts LESS code) you could change the icon like this:

.img-upload-btn>i:before {
  content: @fa-var-file-image-o;
}

@fa-var-file-image-o: "\f1c5";

EDIT: You can find the icon names here and the associated content here.

Thanks for your interest. My knowledge of CSS/LESS is rudimentary. Can you please explain what you mean in more detail ? (I know what Font Awesome is.)

The following shows information about the icon in the Nav Bar with a cursor hover:

Should this be showing in the Post Box ?

Can it if someone codes it ? If so, this is a polite feature request :-)

Cheers,

If you put the LESS I've posted within the Admin Panel of your NodeBB instance within Appearance/Custom HTML & CSS/Custom CSS the icon of the imgur plugin will change to file-image-o (replacing the current picture-o).

The tooltip you're showing in that image is not possible via plain stylesheets. This would require some code change within the composer-default plugin and the imgur plugin. Actually I think this would be a great feature. You could create a feature request for this on github ;)

EDIT: I like keeping references: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-composer-default/issues/25 ;D
