File upload working with Quick Toolbar plugin

[RedwanK]

Hey, first of all, thank you for this bundle, it works just fine ! This is not a bug report just a topic to understand something.

I'm confused, with the Quick Toolbar plugin of TinyMCE it appears to work by itself and allow me to upload image without ANY php configuration.

Here is my conf : tinymce: plugins: "quickbars" toolbar: "bold italic underline | bullist numlist | h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 blockquote | link unlink | alignleft aligncenter alignright | quickimage"

And it allows me to upload files and save everything just fine :

Then if I check where the file is stored, I find this link : blob:https://127.0.0.1:8000/b1ab0bc2-1454-4aea-bd4a-e5f61b228af1

Which indicate that there's a file stored somewhere but I can't find where when I search in the server.

Do you have any idea of how this can work ?

EDIT : I didn't mentioned but I installed it on Sf 7.1.8 / Sylius 2.0.2

Alright, finally I understood, its base64 storage directly in the database.

Which means, it can work if you just need something light for your application, but not the best option anyway.

Hope this can help the community.

Hi @RedwanK!

Indeed, TinyMCE's default setting when nothing is configured for the uploads is to do whatever it can, which ends up being base64 encoded images right in your content.

The more sustainable approach, as you hinted at, is to set up a backend endpoint to accept these file uploads and to configure TinyMCE to use this. You can find more information here, in the File Uploads section of the readme: https://github.com/EmilePerron/tinymce-bundle#file-uploads-optional

Lastly, I just want to point out that you might want to use emileperron/tinymce-bundle instead of this package; it's a fork from myself (the original author) that is more up-to-date and that respects semantic versioning.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the answer !

I'll go with the "emileperron/tinymce-bundle" package then.

Have a good one
