Ah, yeah Google is dropping support for any sites that are not https secured. I disabled this in the next version for the plug-in.

Thank you for the useful feature.

But one problem I have is if you edit post, there is no Upload file button.

I hope it can be fixed as well.

Thanks.

kihyun Try this one out: res.cloudinary.com/dzw9cmnrg/raw/upload/v1516471627/vtinpq8iuyst3myufn3a.pbp

I also submitted to the library, for the people reading this in the future. :P

Before I ask my question, I'd like to say: I've tried this out on my test forum today preparing to get all the deets just right before bringing it out for primetime (maybe next week).

I won't say it's amazing. This thing leaves amazing in the rearview mirror. It's extraordinary!

Thank you so much for doing this.

Hey, Timebomb007 . Thanks for the heads up on the notice showing for all members. Give this one a try: res.cloudinary.com/dzw9cmnrg/raw/upload/v1512847925/vealwkn8paovdg8pdwtq.pbp (this version is now in the library)
That new plugin will allow the admin to turn off the notice if its bothering members. Go to the plugin in your admin panel and click on the new Settings tab, you should find the buttons to enable/disable there. I also found that guests were getting that notice too, fixed that. You're gonna have to wait on the quick reply part since I need to ask around in how to do it well.

The way this plugin works is that they'll need to individually make an account at Cloudinary and fill in the details themselves. At first I designed the plugin to be admin only and have the members upload to the admin Cloudinary account, but I decided to open it up to all users so that they can take advantage of the dashboard that Cloudinary provides.

Would it be possible to have the best of both worlds?

Given the choice of one master account managed by someone at forum admin level or each user having their own account, you definitely made the right choice. It makes soooo much sense for anyone who needs to post lots of images to have their own account.

But there would also great value in the ability of our forum to provide a convenient way for a new user who only plans to ask a few questions and show us the drawings of the way he modified his wiring he's having problems with or show us some pictures of his misaligned bridge or frets that aren't properly seated, etc.

For obvious reasons, we would NOT want to make the upload presets associated with the cloud name public knowledge. But we would like those occasional users to be able to make use of a shared resource.

Could you make possible for someone on staff at the admin level to have the ability to set a DEFAULT Cloud Name and Upload Preset? These would be hidden from view but would be pushed aside if the user inputted his own values in those fields. That way, the access to the shared account would be inherent with new members but those who wisely choose to have their own accounts can do so.


I hope the answer is yes. But if not, I still love what you've done here.

Ted.




Edit:  I'm using v 1.2.0 .

The problem with this is your exposing a users API key. Ideally you would need an intermediary server to handle requests per forum url and store those API keys together. I have looked into this in the past but even the cost of the requests was far too much to ever make it a FREE service.

Good day Ulises,

Thank you for the fix.

Another problem I have is that guests can see the upload button when they reply to a thread. (But not working)
Would you kindly allow it for member view only?

Also, I would like to know if there is a way to share one paid Cloudinary account for every members which can only be set up by staffs so that it doesn't require any hassle for members. I think this would be a good option for staffs because I assume many administrators prefer to have a big paid storage for the whole forum including myself.

Hi Ulises, I have 2 forum members that are having trouble getting their images to display properly. Specifically, the image is either inverted or rotated 90 degrees. I copied the cloudinary image address for one of these problem images and after pasting it into a new tab to view, it displays properly. Probably something simple but I can't figure it out.

Hello Ulises

When I create or edit a post, all is well. However when I quote a post, the 'File Upload' button doesn't appear. Am I doing something wrong or is there a need for a tweak in the Build/Components?

[havetofish]

Am I reading this correctly that each member would need an account?

"The way this plugin works is that they'll need to individually make an account at Cloudinary and fill in the details themselves.

Hi havetofish - thanks again for starting the support post that has now ended us up here haha.

I have installed this on my test forum and the way I understand it is the Admin can either give the information to the user to enter (and use his account) OR require users to sign up on their own.

In my case where most of my users are older and not as computer saavy I am leaning towards giving them the information that allows them to use my one central account. Maybe I'm being naive but I can't see the harm in it - I am not providing them with my password to the Cloudinary dashboard.

After using it for a while I'm retracting what I said above about having a shared account. Having each individual sign up their own account is the *only* way to go in my new opinion.

[Tommy]

Ulises this may have been asked before but would you consider adding a feature to this that if a member clicks on the Upload File button and they don't have Cloudinary information filled in - directs them to a page of the Admin's choosing OR a note to edit their profile settings?

Ulises - thank you for this plug-in - it really is amazing. As retread pointed out above it would be really great if the button can be made to appear in "Quote" as well.

[Ulises]

Retread, kihyun I'll fix the quote button in the next update and the guests button in the next update. (in the next few weeks)

Tommy and the rest of the peeps that want the out-of-the-box solution for the members. I am planning on having a toggle button in the plugins settings that lets admins choose whether to add their own Cloudinary credentials so that the members don't need to do anything or have each individual member sign up and use their account (how it is now).

Apologies for not stopping by and giving you guys any updates in months!

No worries sir, life happens. If I may go back and prioritize my requests, I would say that the quote screen fix is the most important. Not having the ability to upload a file when replying via quote is raising a few eyebrows among my members.
