Stacks 3.6.0 beta 1
This supports the new RW8 resources window with Unsplash linked images.
I could really use your help in testing this with some stacks that use images in interesting ways. Since these images are linked instead of locally exported they may not work in all circumstances.
To test: drop in your stack on a new page or a RW8 document. drag an unsplash image into an image drop-zone and then preview. If things look OK, then the test passes. If things fail, let me know.
It works great when dragging an image into a Stacks page. However, dragging a photo into an image drop-zone doesn’t work, it just snaps back like it’s not supported. This was tested with the banner component in Foundry, cc @Elixir
that’s awesome. i think people are going to really love this. and it will work with any URL that gets dragged from the resources window.
currently it doesn’t work with URLs dragged from other places, but it definitely could. there’s just not a UI for it now.
of course, this has thrown a spanner in a bunch of Stacks 4 code that was already written to do some of this – but in a kind of different way. i’m having to do a bit of re-think on that. :-/ But even though that’s a pain in the butt – i still think this is totally worth it.
I don’t think/hope this will not be an issue. I have emailed Unsplash about GDPR. As long as they are compliant or intend to be, it will be okay… I hope.
Once I hear back, we’ll know for sure and I can put a support doc up about it when we launch RW8.
Are the images that are pulled from Unsplash the smaller sized versions of these images? I ask only because I often open images from that site that are 5,000+ px wide, or are various different DPIs.
Right now, we’re hot-linking to the medium size (I think) image from the API, so the images are often under 200kb, and around 1080px wide. We could (and might) add a preference to let the user decide on what size they want.
You will also be able to right click on an image in the browser and go to the Unsplash page.
For hotlinking Unsplash only capture the path to the image used (so they can count views). No IP address or any personally identifiable info is captured.
The Unsplash library is such a great addition to RW!
