[Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images

[cygan]

i have now also run the script overnight and the whole procedure was completed properly. however, i have the following problem in one of my threads ([INFO] CCC - cygan's crypto collection - constantly updated), that not all imgur images/links have not been converted into imgbb images/links.
when i open the thread the new imgbb images are shown to me and the rest (old imgur images) are not

anyone a solution how i can update this again using this script?

Get the code here: https://gist.github.com/ninjastic/59bde80306c32153a5775b9a570b16b7

Run it on any topic and all images posted by you will be updated.

IMPORTANT: only images that are shown on the screen! This means that if you are on page 1, the script won't update the images on page 2. You can use the ;all page on the forum to make all posts show up all at once (probably won't work properly if the topic is huge?).

Try the above script.

Does it only work if the images are on Imgur?
Imagine that I have images on Imgbb and I want to transfer them to TalkImg, is it possible?

One of the bugs that I encountered in several posts, as shown in the following screenshot:



Post links: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5196950.msg52918008#msg52918008

All BBCode is visible on the post. Usually, it appears when the post is still being edited.

Earlier, I tried to edit a post similar to that manually and immediately saved it again without making any changes to the content and code of the post, for example, this post:
[Edukasi] Privasi dan Anonimitas Bitcoin

Sorry, that was my bad. I was trying to fix the emojis and broke the bbcodes for a moment. Fixed just a moment later but you were one of the victims.

Here is yet another script that should fix your posts with broken bbcode: https://gist.github.com/ninjastic/d560848568339e5a2d7a25ddffb578d5

All it does is find those posts and refresh them (a.k.a edit without any change).

Thanks, TryNinja, for the script to fix the broken post.
Previously, I thought Bitcointalk needed time to refresh the display of posts, as when changing avatars, which sometimes took several minutes.

But after a day has passed, it still hasn't been updated. I had time to edit (without any changes) manually on several posts that I found were broken.

I'm getting this error.

I've just got a different one:

[TryNinja]

I'm getting this error.

Run it again. The script requires loading a full emoji regex to match and not break them: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathiasbynens/emoji-test-regex-pattern/main/dist/latest/javascript.txt

I've just got a different one:

TalkImg API returned an error, let me know if you're still getting this.

When if I try to open mentioned link manually, I get same timeout error in browser.

No. I've ran it again right after that and it managed to handle all the pages of my history without errors (well, excepting a few too large images and a couple of locked topics, but it's okay).
Sorry for the late answer and thanks.

It's still same to me, neither link works nor script, why isn't there response to this yet?

It's just a github file which is valid and working. The issue is on your end (either your browser or your connection?).

But anyways, I edited the script and put the link behind my proxy. See if it works: https://proxy.ninjastic.space/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathiasbynens/emoji-test-regex-pattern/main/dist/latest/javascript.txt

Forgot to reply this one, sorry.

Yes, you can. I've added a imageLinkRegex variable at the top. It currently only matches imgur links ending with png, jpg, jpeg (edit: and gif).

If you want to match ONLY imgbb images, you can use:

Code:

/https:\/\/i\.ibb\.co\/.*?\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif)/gi

If you want to match BOTH imgbb and imgur images:

Code:

/https:\/\/i\.ibb\.co\/.*?\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif)|https:\/\/i\.imgur\.com\/.*?\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif)/gi

Thanks for the tip.
As soon as I have some time I will test it and give feedback.

If you add .gif you have everything

I removed it because most .gif links posted by me were hitting TalkImg's size limit... but I guess it makes sense to include them by default anyway.

From:

Code:

/https:\/\/i\.imgur\.com\/.*?\.(png|jpg|jpeg)/gi

To:

Code:

/https:\/\/i\.imgur\.com\/.*?\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif)/gi

In all files I've downloaded from imgur, about 5% of the .gif files is above the size limit.

Just remember that the limit is the forum proxy itself. TalkImg can be any size, but as it wouldn't work on the forum, it's not worth uploading.

I know that. I believe the image was only linked (not embedded through the [img] tag), so it wasn't using the forum proxy. The script looks for all links (embedded or not), so it was trying to upload it anyway.

I still think it's worth uploading it, since imgur could delete our images at any time.
