Is this feasible: Extract geolocation data from images?

    Is this feasible in Nodebb, to extract the geolocation information from an image that is attached to a post? My desire is to have the location data presented in the post along with the image. Possibly the data could be presented as a link to a map of that location or even to an embedded map image that could be manipulated. Zoomed, moved, etc.

    Thank you.

    If the image contains that sort of EXIF data... then yes, it is possible. Whether or not there is a library to parse such information from the image, is a different question 😄

    I may commission the Nodebb team for this work. I have been in contact with @julian regarding it.

    Hi, I am using nodebb-plugin-composer-redactor 3.4.8 on Nodebb 1.16.1. I just notice that the 'upload an image' function isn't working on Redactor. From the log, it shows that the image is uploaded to the server (/nodebb/public/uploads/files folder) successfully, but the editor doesn't show the image being inserted to the post at all. There's an empty <img> tag inserted to the post though. When I tried using different composers (Quill and NodeBB default composer), the image upload function works as it should. Redactor is no longer supported, but I wonder if I can have this fixed. Otherwise, what is the recommendation? Switching to Quill? Re: Quill What is the best way to modify the toolbar on Quill editor? I want to hide some icons from the toolbar and currently use CSS to hide them. Do I have to fork the plugin and edito /static/lib/quill-nbb.js to my liking (ie: var toolbarOptions = { container: [ [{ header: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, false] }], // h1..h6 [{ font: [] }], ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strike'], // toggled buttons ['link', 'blockquote', 'code-block'], [{ list: 'ordered' }, { list: 'bullet' }], [{ script: 'sub' }, { script: 'super' }], // superscript/subscript [{ color: [] }, { background: [] }], // dropdown with defaults from theme [{ align: [] }], ['clean'], ], handlers: {}, }; Or is there a way similar to 'creating a child theme' - where I don't need to build everything from the scratch, but some add new template/css/js to extend the theme? Thank you!

    Make sure you have a good reason for doing this. Someone may remove a plugin and reinstall it at a later date, and still want their old settings. Right now this is how it works by default.

    @yariplus said: Actually, yes. That is something I've been wanting to do. I jumped into NodeBB development as a total newbie to Javascript, so I probably have a good perspective for beginners. I have some formal education in technical writing as well. Please do this! We need more tutorials and technical guides. I've been trying to immerse myself more in the source and writing plugins so I can write some stuff for the community.
