Uploading Images

[Hunter Sherman]

Hello again guys! Thanks for the great update, I now have an issue with the image upload process.

It looks like SnapEditor expects the image to reside on the server it's sent to, however in many environments this may not be possible. 

For example, for my current project we're using Amazon S3 for image storage. Can SnapEditor be configured to simply receive a URL as the response when an image is uploaded and include that URL in the HTML, without setting the publicUrl and directory attributes? That way we can use our own image handling technology without having to worry about where the image is stored or whether there might one day be an overlap with identical image names in S3.

Thanks.

Hi Hunter,

That's definitely a valid point. We plan to include something like this when we rework the image upload feature. We've got a few things coming down the pipe and won't be able to get to this for a little bit.

Cheers,

Wesley

Hi Hunter,

I just wanted to update you that the newly released SnapEditor 2.0.0 removes the whole public URL thing and the server is now responsible for sending back the URL to the publicly accessible image. The documentation has been updated too.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Wesley
