General question regarding the editor about django-froala-editor

[isDipesh]

Yes, the editor is very nice and I've replaced redactor with this editor myself. django-froala-editor does support image uploads, just make sure you are including the url as instructed in Getting Started section of the readme.

Add the following line to urlpatterns in your application’s
urls.py.

url(r'^froala_editor/', include('froala_editor.urls')),

Including this url makes the view for saving the uploaded image available. Images from remote URLs can still be embedded without this.

Thank you! Sounds great. Wish I had this a few months back when I was fighting with getting image uploads working with TinyMCE 4. I'll likely use this going forward.

I've followed these instructions and I'm struggling to get image uploads working. Are there any other settings?

[deronsizemore]

@davemutton I did a lot of customization on my end to get things working how I wanted with Froala. I used the option that Froala provides for image upload url: https://editor.froala.com/options#imageUploadURL and then created my own view which handles the image upload.

@deronsizemore
Am you able to.share that view? I'm not sure where to start

[deronsizemore]

@davemutton I'm actually using the django-froala app and started with their view which is here: https://github.com/froala/django-froala-editor/blob/master/froala_editor/views.py#L10

I set my imageUploadURL option for Froala to:

imageUploadURL: "/froala/image_upload/",

I also found that I needed to pass in the csrf_token to the upload view, so I have this option for Froala also:

imageUploadParams: {'csrfmiddlewaretoken': '{{ csrf_token }}'},

I'm initializing Froala right inside of my

tag so that I can pass in the csrf_token.

If it will help, here's my exact view for uploading: http://pastebin.com/h1ffPZ5V

Heavily customized as you can see, but I started with the base django-froala view from above. I customized it because I'm storing uploads to Amazon S3

Hope that helps.

Thanks.. That gives me a place to start!
