Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 15, 20204 yr ... if allow remote images is set to false. We would like no remote images, yet with the special supported embedded links (things like facebook, twitter, youtube, gfycat, etc.) I'd like those to continue to work as they did in 4.4. Is this a bug? In 4.4, we had remote images disabled, yet still saw these embedded links.
September 15, 20204 yr You'd have to both give examples of links as well as screenshots for anyone to be of any assistance.
September 15, 20204 yr Author Oh, of course... My bad. ☝️➕"allow remote images" = false results instead in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UT8RkSmN4k In 4.4, this was not the case. In 4.5, it was a surprise change. I understand the logic behind it if it was intentional, yet this took us a few hours of combing through source code to determine why things were not working. I can see the use case for "hey, I want pretty embeds for the special sites, but don't let anyone paste a remotely hosted image from elsewhere." You have a super day!
September 15, 20204 yr Solution A PR was submitted today to resolve this issue in an upcoming maintenance release.

September 30, 20204 yr @bfarber Any update as to when this will be fixed? I need to clarify too.... on my site I have both forum and database sections. It used to be that I could copy a member's write-up in the forum and paste it into a database section as a record. The text AND images would show up. ( The images were originally uploaded in forum). But now when I copy and paste, the images just show up as links.

October 1, 20204 yr I have found that for some users the youtube embed displays, but for others it does not.

October 2, 20204 yr If you're experiencing an issue you're always welcome to open a ticket, as suggested.
October 24, 20204 yr If I do not allow remote images and the user paste a image in the editor the image will be saved and if I do allow remote images the src of the image will be kept, is that right?
