Upload image button

Question

Hello

I search a plugin for add a upload button on ma qa website

I have try a lot of tricks but they don't work.

I wan't a very simple button : when we click on it we upload an image on the server and this image show on the editor. 

I have try to add Button on Markdown editor but postimages.com have update his service and i don't have the addform.html

I have try to download plugin and modify ckeditor4

And the image upload on WYSIWYG Editor is to hard for my qa users 

If someone have a free and simple solution for this problem i think it will be helpfull for a lot of users

Thank, and sorry for my bad english i'm french

If you want a better editor, I would advice the sceditor plugin: http://www.q2apro.com/plugins/sceditor

Note: The upload feature is only premium, not in the free version.

Will elFinder work for you?

fiching site...

Answer 1

i have the same problems with the editors.

We want a free and simple solution, just a button to upload an image (into a question or answer).

Do you have any idea?

Answer 2

I have same problem. It would be great if markdown editor had upload feature.

I think Scott could add this feature to markdown editor.

Answer 3

@tempo did you try TinymceWrapper (Miranda) yet?

It provides a complete solution to all (I hope) your editing needs. Use elFinder to drag n drop files to your server, or click image or link button on toolbar to upload stuff - pretty painless!!!!!!

@fara in Markdown mode of Miranda, you have the complete access to elFinder too, which is the best free File Browser/Manager out there.

OH! and TinymceWrapper is free, free as in free!!

i try  TinymceWrapper (Miranda) but i think that elFinder is is to hard for my qa users....
i want the best and simple solution for a user (not to me as admin)

elFinder can be customized like you have never seen. One a single word/line of init, you can strip everything that is supposedly confusing. There is nothing simpler.

---

can you explain more about this?  (elFinder customisation)

---

See official doc: https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/wiki/Client-configuration-options
Edit this file: www.example.com/qa/qa-plugin/tinymcewrapper/qa-elfinder.php

Or if you are lazy like me, do most everything from address bar
www.example.com/qa/qa-plugin/tinymcewrapper/qa-elfinder.php?theme=windows-10&folder=myFolder&rememberLastDir=true&useBrowserHistory=0&toolbar=1&places=1

There are at least  15 parameters you can add to the url of qa-elfinder.php - awesome stuff!!!

Just add the correct url in your plugin options

 elFinderBrowserSettings: {
    url: tinymcewrapperPluginSrc+"qa-elfinder.php?toolbar=1",
    title: "My Awesome Media Browser"
  },

thanks for the support but as i said before i want the best and simple solution for a user and not for an admin

---

I must not understand you. This setup is for the owner of the q2a to implement for the ordinary daily user to find it easy.

---

can you suggest me the correct customisation?
We want a simple button : when we click on it we upload an image on the server and this image show on the editor.

---

Question for you.
Do you want your users to have a headless interaction with the items they upload (the way Q2A does it now)?

or

Do you want a head? User clicks button, file manager opens up, user then uploads file, and double clicks file to insert into editor.

---

TinyMCE has a powerful image tool that bypasses file manager.
https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/file-image-upload/

User just drags image straight into the Editor, and the image is uploaded.

In all, I strongly advise against allowing users to upload headlessly. Always go through a file manager. It's simple enough.
At this moment, because of time, I only support going through a file manager.
The file manager has two buttons already there for you, [image, link], on the toolbar. Click either one to open file manager - that's easy enough.

---

i want a button "add image", the user select image from his/her drive and the image is visible into a question or answer.

info: TinyMCE is different than  TinymceWrapper (Miranda)? How can i install TinyMCE to q2a?

---

TinymceWrapper is 100% TinyMCE!!!
To achieve what you want, without elFinder, please see the link above I posted. It'll guide you how to setup direct upload from use's computer to your server.

Also, there is http://justboil.me/ which has done all the work for you.

---

sorry but i don't know about editors.

you said:
1) i can use TinyMCE. Great but how can i install and use TinyMCE into q2a?
2) i can use this https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/file-image-upload/ or this http://justboil.me/ ?

---

Please install this plugin http://www.question2answer.org/qa/51849/tinymcewrapper-miranda-updated-most-powerful-editor-joins

---

i installed this plugin....next?

---

Go to http://justboil.me/ and download that TinyMCE file upload plugin.
Please read his instructions. It's not my plugin so I can't answer questions about it.

When you are directed to implement what you read... You'll find the TinymceWrapper Q2A admin options very useful and revealing.
