First, you need to put them somewhere that they won't rot and can be hyperlinked

hwlau

@LoganM oops, it is your selections. The old ones are usually the same series with some standard picturse.

Logan M

Google drive is what I used. You could also use Flicker, Minus, Dropbox, or other options

imgur isn't a great choice since the images can expire after 6 months, but if you use the stack.imgur account it would work. Can't automate that though.

Then, get all the images and put the URLs in a pastebin paste with one per line. Then do #wallpaper add pastebin.com/example

Or if you have a small number of URLs you can just put the URLs here directly separated by spaces

hwlau

@LoganM is there some special agree btween imgur and SE that they won't remove those images

Taisho

Logan M

@hwlau Yes, they're permanent.

sad that they don't include the chat room

Logan M

SE also backs them up IIRC so even if the deal with imgur ends it'll still be relatively safe

But I'd assume SE wouldn't like it if you uploaded thousands of images to their imgur account just for this.

@hwlau they do with the upload button?

or at least we do have an upload button next to the send one which allows you to use the built in SE imgur

Q: Yaoi manga; possibly psychological?

I am looking for a manga I had briefly read maybe a really long time ago (maybe five months ago) when I wasn't too interested in reading mangas that much. I don't remember too many details but it was definitely a yaoi manga and the only vague detail I remember is that the genre was possibly psych...

@LoganM is this link good enough? https://drive.google.com/#folders/0Byjwisr1lGkxTzItQXFXZU1GSGc
I never use google drive to share anything, so I dont know...

that's the only picture I have in my work place right now

Logan M

Should work so long as you don't move them.

Shinobu Oshino

#wallpaper add drive.google.com/#folders/0Byjwisr1lGkxTzItQXFXZU1GSGc

Taisho

Link type not recognized.

Shinobu Oshino

heh

Logan M

You'd want to do

#wallpaper add https://googledrive.com/host/0Byjwisr1lGkxTzItQXFXZU1GSGc/WVQqRh0.png https://googledrive.com/host/0Byjwisr1lGkxTzItQXFXZU1GSGc/AIImr.jpg https://googledrive.com/host/0Byjwisr1lGkxTzItQXFXZU1GSGc/159998_8gmbdnqi45vr67a‌xc3lpse0tfzjukw12h9yo.jpg

But you can't move the images or rename them or change the folder after doing that

Shinobu Oshino

Jul 23, 2014 03:13

one by one? seriously?

Logan M

So make sure they're where you want them to be first.

You can do all 3 at once

Just copy the code exactly from my post and it should work

Shinobu Oshino

well I mean, for every picture?

Logan M

Yes you have to include the URL for each one

at the moment it isn't set up to parse Google drive folders

could probably be done, but that would require work

Alternatively if you have a lot, use pastebin

Shinobu Oshino

dang, how can you do that with that much picture you have

I don't have that

Logan M

We automated it

If you want to do pastebin, I think it would be something like #wallpaper add http://pastebin.com/X3fUrgz0

That's how we got all of mine in the bot

Shinobu Oshino

Jul 23, 2014 03:18

never use pastebin before... lemme try

Logan M

The one I posted above pastebin.com/X3fUrgz0 should actually work fine

You need to use the hosting links for Google drive images (the ones I posted above), which aren't the ones you see in the drive folder though. The ones Google drive itself uses aren't stable and won't work for the bot.

Shinobu Oshino

but you still need to add that link one by one in pastebin

Logan M

Yes, but they all follow a simple pattern

specifically, all of them have the url https://googledrive.com/host/Directory_Id/filename

Directory ID is the same for all of them which are in the same folder

filename is the same as the filename you upload it with

So all you have to do is a bit of parsing. It's easy to automate that.

Then you just copy all that into a pastebin

Shinobu Oshino

a bit of parsing. not sure how to do that...

Depends on what you want to use and what format you have the data in, but it's a simple enough thing to be doable in any language which does any kind of file manipulation.

In unix you can just do an ls and pipe the results into a blank file, then prepend each line of the file with the string representing the Google drive for the folder. Basically just follow stackoverflow.com/questions/2099471/…

Shinobu Oshino

oh,, I think I understand what you mean,,

@LoganM and if I remove the picture or rename the folder I need to add it again for bot?

Logan M

@ShinobuOshino Yes, but don't do that once you've added it

If you've added it and you move the folder, the bot now has a bunch of dead links

And it doesn't check to see if they're dead. It'll just post them

So put them where you intend for them to stay forever before adding them to the bot.

Shinobu Oshino

Jul 23, 2014 03:49

can't we delete the link from bot?

I don't see any way to remove

You can probably get @user1306322 to remove manually, but other than that, no
