CKEditor Drag and Drop Image Upload

[alfreema]

No, on the iPhone when they copy the URL to the clipboard, it frequently has a URL that is a local filesystem reference to a cached version of whatever image they are wanting to post, instead of the original URL that goes off to the image being hosted on a website. So instead of http:// it's something like cache:// (don't quote me on the syntax, but you get the idea).

Did you mean iPhones cache the clipboard content? Even if you copy a new url, the clipboard still contains the old url? That sounds odd.

Right, with Android it's not too bad. I was able to open two browser tabs in separate split screen, but drag and drop and copying an image didn't work (as you already know).

I think one of the issues with iPhone is that there is some internal caching going on and they keep grabbing the cache URL and pasting that. I haven't tested on my wife's iPhone yet to see what they are doing though. I was just hoping there would be some easier way for them to take an image and post it.

I have Android too and yes it can split screen between multiple apps (not multiple browser tabs) but you cannot drag an image from Photos or other apps. For uploading image by pasting URLs from other sites, they need to tap the Image button (button next to Video icon) in the Advanced Editor and then paste the URL in the URL textbox.

Well I don't know. My Android device lets me split screen. I wasn't sure if I can long tap an image and drag it over. But regardless of drag and drop, they aren't having much luck even copy/pasting URLs for some reason.

How can you do drag and drop on the phone in the first place?

[alfreema]

So my users have difficulty uploading images from their Android devices and iPhone devices. Does this mod allow them to drag and drop from other websites into the ckEditor, or even just gallery images?

Got the uploader.php file and checked it but the required changes are not there.

Thanks Glenn, I made the mistake of uploading unedited files rather than the modified one. lol

What's in the Network tab?

Is there any error message in the browser console or in the server logs?

Here's what I am seeing Glenn:
