TinyMCE Post Image Upload to Custom URL - php

In order to upload images to my server I need to post to a specific URL so that I can handle it on the back end. TinyMCE seems to provide support for such functionality, but it's not entirely clear or explicit about it.
I tried using JustBoil.Me to upload the image, but the way it's set up does not play nicely with my Laravel and URL setup.
Have any of you had to do this before?
I found this resource to be very helpful, but the lack of literature on this topic is shocking:
Direct Image Uploads in TinyMCE 4 (it would be amazing to see a PHP/Laravel server side code snippet on how to return something that TinyMCE can process)

image uploading through editor

I am trying to upload image for my application through an editor. I am using php. I think default tinymce is not so much flexible at least for a user. So is there any editor by which user can add image which will be from their computer? If so please let me know.
Great one, but paid:

Easy-looking, easy-writeble functions (and for custom uploading ajax script too)

Difference between Ajax upload and Normal upload

i have a doubt with the upload system in PHP.
What is the difference between Normal Upload [ without ajax ] and Ajax Upload ?
By using Javascript i can send values to the server ,is it possible in the case of Files ?
Is there any limitation for this ? and i found that so many uploaders are using FLASH for to upload FILES,
ex:Gmail,uploadify.....
How can i build a basic uploader with JQUERY/javascript ? also i heard that i cant send FILE by a XHR request.
i am using Codeigniter Framework.
Expecting Possible duplicate or other refference
Main Goal Of this Question is to build my own uploader for my current project[neat and clean]
Okay, AJAX upload is basically just that, it's going through Javascript. The difference is that the page does not upload, and you can carry on with other things as it works. It generally makes for a better user experience in my opinion, it feels more seamless
On the other hand, it only works for newer browsers. Firefox, Chrome, Opera have it, but not IE (maybe Safari?). It also works well with drag and drop. I once made an image uploader inside a text editor, where it popped up a table with your currently uploaded images, you clicked one and it added it to the textbox or you dragged a new image into a box and it uploaded and displayed it straight away. It was beautiful.
Here's the plugin I used to help me
http://dropup.net/
Edit: No limitations either, you can even send plain binary data in
well as if you want to upload the file with jquery ajax request then use ajax form plugin as well,
this link Ajax From will help you to understand and implement on your page,
but i don't know about codignighter frame work cause i don't have experience of that. And ajax is the best way to distribute the process into different parts with any extra load on the page i mean ajax request will work on the back end..

Get website image from google via php

I'm working on a website for a specific client. And he wants to be able to add link to the website, and on mouse hover to have a image of that website appear.
Now, he doesen't want to take an image of the website, he only wants to input the link and have the website do everything else.
So my question is ->
Is there a way (eg. google API) to get a website image only by providing the url via php?
Sort of like in google, when you hover over a lik of a page, a tooltip pops up to the right with an image.
Any help is, as always, appriciated :)
Here is a list of 10 free thumbnail services
http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/10-free-website-thumbnail-generation-services/
You can simply refer to the URLs of these services, e.g.
<img src="http://SnapCasa.com/Get.aspx?code=[code]&size=[size]&url=[url]" />
or make a CURL call from one of your PHP scripts and temporarily store/permanently save the image that was generated.
Have recently developed Thumbnailspro.com. It is currently free to use while in beta testing as we work out the bugs, but so far its getting quite popular, you can request thumbnails directly from your website using the code below :
http://thumbnailspro.com/thumb/http://msn.com&s=150
s=Size, size can be anywhere from 10 to 1000 pixels just add s=300 to display a thumbnail 300 pixels in width. We are trying to add more options as we go for thumbnail requests and at the same time trying to keep it as simple as possible so you don't have to enter something like the code below to get your thumbnails :
http://somethumbnailsite.com/viewurl.php?url=http://msn.com&x=200&y=300&bwidth=1024&bheight=768&rotate=76&what_the_hell%20_is_all_this_crap!
So is much more effecient!
Like the service or have any bugs contact us at admin#thumbnailspro.com!
No. The only way to do this is to request the HTML for the page, render the page and then create a thumbnail from that page render. Google does this because in the process of spidering the web, they already get all that data, and they've got a nice optimized rendering engine (Chrome) that they can put the data through, and then they've got tons of online storage space to store the cached image. There's a lot of work there, though.

Jquery PHP media upload library

Strange trouble
I want to upload image via ajax which many plugin does but none support textarea to write caption. As i want to assign a caption to every image ,how do my new learning task makes it different is i want user to be able to put up caption whilst image is uploading.
Do any one know of such plugin that just donot send ajax request but also have text box requests attached
Well, to answer your question, I don't know of any such plugin.
However, all plugins should support custom parameters to send as GET or POST. Check the documentation.
If it doesn't, then it sucks. You can however mod it yourselt.
If it does, then it is a simple issue of fetching the textarea value and attaching it in one such parameter to be sent.
Hope this helps you.

How can I generate a thumbnail of a web page for a facebook post?

My app is posting to users' Facebook walls, and linking to a page they have created. The page is in html. I'd like to be able to put a thumbnail of the page as the image on the wall post. I'm not sure whether this is possible or not. Anyone have any ideas?
If it helps, the page itself is stored as a series of 'elements'... for each one, I know the size and position of the element, and the content (which may be text or an image). So I can pull all that in from the database.
I guess it would be sufficient to create a thumbnail using php at the point when the user clicks 'Publish This to my wall', if that's easier than doing it on the fly - I can save the image and then link to it.
Any ideas?
I create thumbnails for my site using CutyCapt, which works very well indeed on both Windows and Linux. You can use exec to invoke this from php.
There are also web services that allow you a quota of free thumbnail snapshots, that are easy to integrate into your website. e.g.
http://www.websnapr.com/
or
http://webthumb.bluga.net/home
I figured out how to do this. I used the PHP gd library, which allows you to create a base image and then add images and text. Works pretty well.
