Native PDF, Audio and Video Upload for HTMLy

[TestDesk]

Hi everyone,

I've been using HTMLy for a while now and love its simplicity. One thing I noticed is that embedding your own audio, video, and PDF files directly from the editor wasn't possible – audio only via SoundCloud, video only via YouTube.

For me it was cumbersome to insert my own multimedia content, so I built a small extension: an upload button directly in the editor toolbar that uploads PDF, audio and video files to your own server and automatically inserts the correct HTML tag at the cursor position. The files are stored in content/files/ and are therefore automatically included in HTMLy's built-in backup.

The whole thing consists of two files – tested with HTMLy v3.1.1.

If you're interested, you can find everything here: https://github.com/testdesk/htmly-media-upload

Wonderful, that you took care of this! :-)
I will check this ASAP.

This is a very helpful feature.

Okay. Done.

Tested the Upload with a mp3-file. I can save the post. And the mp3 is played. But it seems as if HTMLy still misses big mama soundcloud.

Hi @che-rusker,

you don't need an "Audio post". You can use "Regular post".

[che-rusker]

Oh, fine. Yes, that works well.

Hi,
just a quick note: version 1.0.1 is now available.
This release fixes two bugs:

• M4A files with MIME type audio/x-m4a are now accepted
• Correct MIME types are now used in the generated tags for all audio and video formats

Thanksa lot. Will update that today.

On a different note: Could you also add a lightbox/galerie do HTMLy. Like this one for example...

That would also be a huge improvement.
