GIPHY for vB5 and vB6 (Self-hosted)

[flohse]

I had submiited a request for a production API key. This request has been rejected by GIPHY with the explanation that the app does not meet their criteria. They think I would be fine using the beta key and I don't need unlimited requests. I provided a similar screen video like you did. Any suggestions?

For the screencast, I think doing the same I did for the demo screencast in the first post is good enough to show how the mod works.

Providing a screenshot is optional. Providing a video screencast on how the mod works is the one that's required.

[flohse]

Did you provide them a screenshot of the mod setup?

I can't recall how long it took for them to approve my Production API key but I would say it was approved within a week. Be prepared to describe how you'll use the GIPHY API key and a video screencast of it in action showing the "Powered by GIPHY" attribution.

I applied for Production API key from GIPHY to remove the 10k requests limit on this site and they approved it! This is not required under normal conditions but if you think you will exceed this limit, you must apply for it.



If you need help applying the same, please let me know.

The beta api key is now limited to 100 calls per hour. So I am interested in switching to a production api key. How difficult was it to get the approvement for a production key from GIPHY?

I'm excited to announce that I have released the GIPHY for vBCloud mod:

Mitch and I have successfully installed and set up GIPHY mod on his vBCloud forum.

The cloud Giphy mod is working flawlessly on our forum. Thanks Glenn, for taking the time to implement it.

Mitch, i found a way for vBCloud to run this GIPHY mod and still make the GIPHY requests secure without exposing the GIPHY API key even if vBCloud has restriction to using PHP.. Are you still interested?

For those who are interested, Mitch and I have successfully installed and set up GIPHY mod on his vBCloud forum. I will release it soon separate from this self-hosted version. Stay tuned!

I'll set it up and then I'll contact you in PM.

[glennrocksvb]

Yes that's possible.

GIFs are a very important form of expression for our community, so glad we could help!

Would like to have it fully adjustable for usergroups and channel permissions.

[glennrocksvb]

Do you want to restrict GIPHY for specific channels only? That can be done.
