GIPHY for vB5 and vB6 (Self-hosted)

Need a solution for Cloud.

It requires running a server-side code to search the GIPHY server for GIFs but uploading a PHP file on the server is not allowed in vBCloud. The possible alternative I can think of is to deploy a remote server-side script via server-less architecture using AWS Lambda which lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. AWS Lambda has free tiers which allows 1M requests per month. I think that's more than enough for searching GIPHY.

Very nice mod

[glennrocksvb]

I have updated the GIPHY icon with a better contrast. I will update the mod shortly with this new icon.

If you've purchased this mod, you will receive an email notification once I updated the mod. But if you can't wait, you can download the new icon below by right clicking and choosing "Save image as..." or equivalent.



Then upload it to your server and overwrite the existing one at /images folder. Once uploaded to the server, you may need to clear CDN cache (e.g. Cloudflare), if any. You may also need to clear browser cache.

Or you could use a different filename for the new icon image, upload it to your server, then update the giphy_icon_path stylevar in the Style Variable Editor in AdminCP with the new filename. This doesn't require clearing the CDN and browser cache.

Yes API key is required. I've added a note for that in the first post. Thanks for that feedback.

[glennrocksvb]

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.

It took me a few seconds to register and get a key code, not sure if that is required to work but I did it and mine is working perfectly. Hope that helps

That would be great Glenn. We are in the process of aquiring a bunch of new members and i dont want to mess with it right now. I think i paid for Ribbon install as well and im still waiting for that.

Done uploading. Check it out now.

Not all products require just uploading XML files. Some requires uploading extra files to the server via FTP or cPanel. I can upload them for you for free. I'll do it shortly.

But it would be beneficial for you in the future to learn how to do this yourself. I think you're just afraid to try and learn new things but that's understandable. If you know how to use a computer, then it wouldn't be that hard for you to learn these things.

You know i cant do that. I dont even know what FTP is. I have always paid you to do these things. I thought this was a simple Products and Hooks install. It didnt say anything about going into cpanel. Ill just have to pass man.I wanted this and had been waiting but i cant do this stuff. And im gonna pass on paying for install. I like the products i can install myself.

Login to FTP to upload the folders. It's simple and easy with just few clicks.

Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to the vB root directory.

I dont know how to do that. Can i just get a refund?
