Iggykoopa! can you please!

I found this little script for uploading images to omploader and it returns the url.
The only thing is, that it is a command line tool. I dont mind using the command line but my girl friend thinks having to use it is equal to death it's self. I was wondering how hard it would be to make some kinda front end for it? Just some GUI to select the image and return the url would be fine. Im far from a coder and have no idea where to start on such a thing, but i thought i might ask you to see what you thought of the idea and how hard it would be.
I'm pretty sure the script calls on curl and ruby, if that helps anything.
I would be thankful if you could look at this for me.

I'm a little rusty on my ruby(it's been about two years since I played with ruby on rails) but when I get out of work I can take a look at it.

slipshot · 2009-08-05 10:43:11

ok cool iggykoopa, when ever you get the time will be fine. thankyou!:D

Awebb · 2009-08-05 11:09:04

@slipshot: In the meantime, why don't you try to tinker a little bash script using zenity?

slipshot · 2009-08-05 12:07:15

Good idea Awebb! Though i have looked into zenity, and aint had much luck with it. Im trying to wrap my head around this programing thing but thus far aint had much luck. I guess i'll learn it in time.

rigosantana3 · 2009-08-05 14:39:55

Slipshot
If your using firefox you could just get this add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5638

iggykoopa · 2009-08-05 18:20:46

here you go:

#!/bin/sh

chooseFile=$(zenity --file-selection)
curl -F file1=$chooseFile http://omploader.org/upload -o /tmp/omp.html
location=`grep -o -m 1 href=\"/v[a-zA-Z0-9]* /tmp/omp.html | grep -o v[a-zA-Z0-9]*`
zenity --info --text "file loaded to http://omploader.org/${location}"

it doesn't have any nice error checking or anything, so if it fails it will act weird. It should work for the basics though. Save it and chmod +x it, then map it to a shortcut key if you use it alot.

edit: I was working on a nice conversion to python with gtk and everything, but urllib wasn't cooperating so I got frustrated and just made this.....hope it still works for you.

slipshot · 2009-08-06 00:54:40

thankyou iggy it works perfect! big_smile YOU THE MAN!
You should call it Crunch-upload

sircrazy · 2009-08-06 01:06:34

iggy, i like where you are going with this, however, it isnt attaching the $location at the end of the url in the dialog box for me. Any ideas.

slipshot · 2009-08-06 01:12:46

Well i thought it did! the url it is returning just has the path to where the file im trying to upload is stored. hmmmmmm... interesting.....

rigosantana3 · 2009-08-06 02:28:49

And thats why iggy is called the script master..

iggykoopa · 2009-08-06 05:37:58

I can fix it when I get home... you want the shortcut for forums and stuff? or the thumbnail? Or is it already working right and I'm misunderstanding? sorry I hadn't used omploader before so I just tested it enough to make sure it was working, uploaded the same picture like 8 times getting it right lol.

sircrazy: is it just blank? do you have curl installed? like I said it doesn't have any error checking, trying running it from a terminal, that will give you the output from curl and tell you if something is going wrong.

sircrazy · 2009-08-06 12:12:05

alright iggy, let me try to explain it again. I have the tendency to be confusing in my explanations

First, I have the original ruby script, it works great in thunar, I am going to add a how-to in here.

The Problem with the original ruby script is that you cannot choose the file, which you have so graciously created a script that starts with a --file-selection in zenity. This makes it prime for use with a shortcut key and quick uploading any file you choose. +1!!!

The issue is that when the script shows the --info dialog, it is supposed to show: file loaded to http://www.omploader.org/${location} , where $location is the specific id for the upload. When I run the script it only shows: file loaded to http://www.omploader.org/ , the ${location}/specific id is absent from the dialog box.

In the case of slipshot, he IS able to get an id showing in his dialog box. He accomplished this with uploading a .jpg screenshot. His issue is that it does not upload correctly. Instead of uploading the actual file, it actually uploaded just the path. If you were to click the link generated by his upload, it shows a blank screen with his path to the screenshot he wanted to upload.

I hope this clears up what we were meaning with the script. Gratz for tackling this.

iggykoopa · 2009-08-06 19:21:53

was this fixed for you? I noticed you made the thunar + uploader post so it looks like it's fixed for you. By the way much better job with what you did, I was just staying away from ruby because I'm not that familiar with it.

edit: it was really bugging me that I couldn't do this natively in python. Did some more research and it turns out urllib doesn't do multi-part form data, found a module that someone hacked it to work, so almost done with a python version big_smile ...probably wont be done for another day or two though

sircrazy · 2009-08-06 20:03:33

well, the ruby one is what we started with. i modified it to work with selected file in thunar. I think what slipshot is more after is like your script where you choose a file first with --file-selection then it uploads, so thunar wont have to be open.

iggykoopa · 2009-08-07 06:11:11

I was thinking about it last night and once I get the python version working totally I'll be able to have it work both ways. If it's passed a file from thunar it can just upload that, if not it can open a file selection dialog. Also I was thinking of having it check the file size like the ruby version, but if it's too big have it automatically turn up the compression on it and resize until it gets down small enough.

slipshot · 2009-08-07 22:13:03

Sounds great Iggykoopa, take all the time you need. smile

sircrazy · 2009-08-10 21:04:29

Hey iggy, just checking on if this py script is still coming along. I should really learn py

iggykoopa · 2009-08-11 05:57:20

Sorry I've been super busy lately, I should be able to get back on it tonight. Need to go clothes shopping for my daughter first though, you know a way to make kids stop growing? wink

edit: also python isn't too difficult to pick up in your spare time, theres some pretty decent beginner tutorials around if you wanna try it out. I still only consider myself a beginner though, there are a lot of the more advanced concepts that I haven't really bothered to wrap my head around yet. I'm still just a scripter at heart, not really a programmer wink

slipshot · 2009-08-11 16:37:36

Iggykoopa, I can understand about the cloths shopping. I have a daughter also and school just started back, so i know where your coming from.
And i have looked into python, thus far it looks like greek to my but im still trying.
Thank you and please take your time, there is no rush here.

sircrazy · 2009-08-11 20:25:47

I still want to see your py script if you want to still make it. But I have put together a quick solution for that ruby script.

Before we begin:
You must have the following installed:
Ruby
Curl - is installed by default on crunchbang main
Zenity - is installed by default on crunchbang main

First save the following modified ruby script in your ~/.scripts dir. Save it as "upload"
(You do have one right?)

    if errors < 1
        puts "Success."
    else
        puts "Finished with #{errors} errors."
    end
end

It looks the same but there are a couple added lines to make it compatible.

Next create a new file called "upload.sh"
This should be in the same directory as the "upload" ruby script.

Here is what should be in the "upload.sh" shell script file:

#!/bin/bash

chooseFile=$(zenity --file-selection)
~/.scripts/upload $chooseFile

Now open a terminal and type:
chmod +x ~/.scripts/upload
chmod +x ~/.scripts/upload.sh

Now all you have to do is set a shortcut key to run:
~/.scripts/upload.sh
And a file selection box will pop up.
Choose the file to upload and hit Ok, the file should upload and return a dialog box with the url to your upload.

REMINDER: If you also use my thunar mod for uploading, and you moved your file as directed in here (this is the same ruby file for thunar), update the custom action in thunar from:
terminator --command='ruby ~/.upload %f'
to
terminator --command='ruby ~/.scripts/upload %f'
for the command.

iggykoopa · 2009-08-11 20:30:01

All done, here you go http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/311 . If you launch it with no arguments it opens a gui, if you launch it cli with a path it returns everything on the command line. Also checks if the file is too big, but the limit for omploader is 1gb so you shouldn't have issues. Hope it works well for you, and let me know if there are any issues.

edit: just realized some people launch it from thunar actions, I forgot so returning stuff on the commandline may be bad, I'll fix it later...too late tonight

slipshot · 2009-08-11 20:48:40

Thanks Iggykoopa it works great! Your the best! Thank you! big_smile smile

iggykoopa · 2009-08-11 20:52:58

ok heres an updated version http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/313 . if your using a thunar action just change the line to something like this:
terminator --command='/path/to/omploader.py %f gui'
