I am currently working on a small forum that allows users to make posts as well as comment replies to them. I want users to also be able to post pictures along with their posts directly onto the website. I see that Stack Overflow uses imgur when you want to add pictures to your question. Are there any plug-ins or something that could do this? I've tried searching google, but haven't had much luck.

  • See their docs: https://apidocs.imgur.com/#c85c9dfc-7487-4de2-9ecd-66f727cf3139 – mario Aug 31 '18 at 04:22
  • @mario This would allow the photos to be visible on my website right? Imgur would just be where the photos are stored? – CaptainAmerica16 Aug 31 '18 at 04:23
  • If they are going to post on your site you are going to need a lot of room. Stackoverflow forces people to upload URLs of images, not the image itself. – Forbs Aug 31 '18 at 04:40
  • @Forbs I'm looking into the URL thing. I upload images (Url's) onto Stack Overflow straight from file explorer, so imgur might be just what I need – CaptainAmerica16 Aug 31 '18 at 05:43
  • I don't understand all of the downvotes. I would appreciate it if the downvoters could leave reasons in the comments. It would help actually make questions better instead of discouraging posting. – CaptainAmerica16 Aug 31 '18 at 06:01
  • @CaptainAmerica16 the downvotes are because this is a site where you have a specific problem (not a general) and ask and we answer. This question is way too general and to answer would take a lot more than a small one line answer. – Forbs Sep 02 '18 at 23:35
  • @Forbs Ok, thank you for the explanation. I'll be sure to keep that in mind for future questions. – CaptainAmerica16 Sep 03 '18 at 17:51

use this editor in your forum and it saves the images directly to your mysql database.
