So there's been some discussion in the iPhone thread about uploading pictures to Imgur through the app. I think it's an understood thing that trying to do so fails about 99% of the time, most people seem to think for API rate limit reasons, but I swear to god that there is a way to upload pictures to Imgur with 100% success rate in my experience. This way fails most of the time:
I have never seen this method fail:
I tried looking into the code to see where these events were called/handled but I don't know enough about iOS programming to know what the hell I'm looking for. I grepped for 'imgur' but don't really know enough Swift to understand what I was looking at. I just want to know if these two methods are actually calling different methods or using different inputs somehow, or if I am just super lucky.

Would it be possible to add a feature to (locally) block mods from showing up in the app? The website won’t let me do that.

I’m getting this bug on my Xs (iOS 12.4) where the threads in the Bookmarks tab aren’t tappable anymore. I can still scroll in there, but tapping on a thread does nothing. Only way to fix this is by force closing the app and restarting. I want to say I’m also able to force touch the thread and it’ll pop open and then they’re all tappable again but I can’t confirm this atm cause I don’t have the phone with me. I tried reproducing it but haven’t been able to do it so it just comes and goes. Sorry I don’t have more info

Downloaded the new update, and the app icon with an alternate icon is being weird. Other apps with alternate icons don’t seem to do this? (It switches back to the original icon momentarily before changing to the one I picked.)

That’s really weird because it works just fine for apps like 1Password. Not that I don’t believe you just that it’s weird that it only affects some apps it seems. For the record everyone of you are seeing this with Awful?

I don’t know if it’s intentional, but when I long touch a thread in the “forums” tab (as opposed to bookmark tab) the “mark unread” button just says “mark.” It confused me when I was trying to mark a thread I accidentally tapped on as unread and couldn’t find it.

No need to apologize! Can I also request a feature to open tweets in different apps? I think Apollo lets you choose between the Twitter app, tweetbot, or safari etc.

Would it be possible/difficult to block tweets from specific users from rendering similar to the ignore user feature? I’m tired of seeing people post this @dril person in D&D.

Ok but seriously though, why does the REPORT and QUOTE button keep swapping places? I thought I was going crazy cause I would try to quote people (via muscle memory) and the report post page would come up but only some times. I finally got a picture of it happening: … but I don't know how to upload any pictures.   E: apparently this is how things are now. Truly awful.

Hey goons I made a thing to upload pictures to postimages thanks to someone else reverse engineering their API: https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX/issues/472 Taking a screenshot and uploading via a shortcut:  Here's the shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/05a19d6803b444a98e1f5577e693d9d1 (this one has a menu to copy the url or timg code) Someone better than me can play with the shortcut a bit and post an even better version. There is an API token in the shortcut which was just obtained by right click view source. It's the same token that's posted in that GitHub.

I'm not sure how often/if that website changes their api token but if they did then the shortcut is dead until someone fixes it. E2: added a new version that asks if you want to copy the url, timg code, or quick look to see the url (to pass into another shortcut, for example) Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Mar 19, 2024 |

Subjunctive posted:I looked a while ago at adding native support to them in the app, but they didn’t have an appropriate API for it. Hopefully that’s better now. If you wanted to take another look the GitHub issue I posted should give you enough information to make a POST call to upload a picture. All I did was take that and turn it into a shortcut. The POST returns a json object with a key "url" to the image upload page with the different url formats (and a link to delete the image, which might be useful?). I had to do a regex to get the direct url from there. Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Mar 19, 2024 |

Subjunctive posted:Yeah, I hacked up a prototype of this before but without a way to get a “legal” API key I worry that it would be too fragile and lead to a stampede of complaints and frustration if/when postimages invalidated the key. I guess I’ll see what happens with ShareX! I just created an account on the website and was able to pull a custom(?) key from https://postimages.org/login/api The key is different from the one you see when you right click view source on the main page. They also have this message in their plugins page: quote:Please contact us if you have any problems or questions. We can even help you integrate your website with us for free! Might be worth having someone shoot them an email I suppose. Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Mar 19, 2024 |

It's a share sheet extension, so you wouldn't use it with Siri. Find a picture of a good catte and share the picture and choose the shortcut. You'll need to accept/allow url access the first time you use it but after that it should stop asking.

`Nemesis posted:for some unknown reason i still get the no valid url error with this, what am i doing wrong? I'm not sure, but my two guesses are (1) shortcut permission error and (2) you tried to upload an unsupported format so the upload failed, and if that happened the second "get url" in the shortcut (you can see it in the picture above) won't be valid. For (1) try running the shortcut directly from the shortcuts app and "always allow" permission to access the two(?) postimages urls that get called. Maybe also try going into Settings > Shortcuts > Advanced > ✅ Allow Sharing Large Amounts of Data. Maybe the picture of your catte was too big. Also I hope all this chat about this shortcut ITT isn't upsetting any of you guys working on the app. I saw a few posts on the page before I posted the shortcut complaining about the imgur shortcut being broken so I just posted it here first.

Oops, yeah, I see the following error:code:E: vvv just wanna be clear, the token in the shortcut isn't mine; it's the one baked into the post images website and you can verify it by viewing the source code on a computer and searching for that token. The website can at any moment change the api token and this shortcut will break. But they haven't changed it as far back as 2018 I believe. vvv Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Mar 22, 2024 |

`Nemesis posted:thank you. i found it works until i change my api token. will mess around with it more. Yeah, I think the upload_session string needs to change too. Just reading the GitHub thread I linked before, this post specifically says: quote:the session is a random generated string in the script I'm not sure where they got the aaaa...aaa from either. But it's probably a default anonymous session for that public facing api token.

`Nemesis posted:So is everyone just using the anon token, or what steps am i missing to use my own token? Correct. The api token saved in the shortcut is the same api token that is visible on the postimages website when you view the source code. So it's not my api token, it's the one everyone uses when they upload anything to the website directly. Just hopped on a computer to check this out more. Here is how the upload_session string is generated: code:

That's awesome. Thanks! So I take this to mean that my shortcut is probably fine, because if they invalidate the key then it invalidates all of their plugins that they've shipped. By the way, here is a short 16 step guide for using Imgur on Android to post pictures: Microplastics posted:Your post spurred me to look into this a little closer. Turns out, it's a toss-up as to whether hidden images appear on the "hidden" tab or not, so "all" is your best bet.

Perhaps an alternative to baking in postimages support into Awful.app would be to just add a link somewhere in settings to the shortcut where it's more visible. Then you wouldn't have to provide support if it breaks because, you know, it's not Awful.app it's "just a shortcut". I have no idea how long these shortcuts share links last or if there's a better way to support/link to a shortcut. I'm also fine with someone taking the shortcut and repurposing it with better error handling and stripping metadata and calling it the official unofficial awful image uploader shortcut without giving me any credit (I literally copied what the people on that GitHub issues posted anyway).

No idea what cat box is so I looked it up. Apparently it's also blocked by Spectrum, Verizon, and Comcast. And they don't seem to allow image hot linking:quote:You cannot use Catbox for commercial services without prior approval. Examples include: a CDN (Content Delivery Network); image host for your business/ecommerce site (embedding hotlinks to Catbox files on your Wordpress site); or as source for videos that are streamed on sites other than files.catbox.moe directly.

It's not an easy problem to solve because url parameters are totally valid in some cases, like for the aforementioned timestamp on YouTube, or searching on Google. For example if I search "something awful" on google in a private window I get the following:code:Not sure how you would make a single rule that would stop out all these extra parameters, while also keeping the ones that matter, like q= in this case. But anyway, I do have a shortcut for this that I made some time ago. It won't work for things like Google because it'll strip everting after the "?" sign. But it works for most websites. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/a6ac7a8b61ba43c684484eda617b2041 Highlight a url or share the link, select the shortcut, and then copy the resulting URL's

It's tempting but then you need to have some sort of policies in place for removing content that violates things like GDPR or the CA version of it, or content that is CSAM and and and… or even just simple copyrighted material. Probably better off letting someone else handle all that lol.

mawarannahr posted:By the way, I would like to point out that the shortcut that has been shared ITT is a privacy risk. Unless you manually go to "Options" in the share sheet and turn off "Location" for each image you are about to share, your uploaded photo will include geographical coordinates. You can mitigate this by adding "Convert Image" step and messing with the "Preserve Metadata" settings. I just uploaded a picture with location data and when I redownloaded it there was no location data or any exif data (doesn't even know what camera the picture was taken with). It's still good to keep these privacy things in mind though when you download a random script off a random website and upload pictures to another random website, though.
