unsigned_cloudinary_upload, cloudinary_upload_url and use_filename: true

Hello

I wish to either upload a local image or give a remote url. In both cases I use unsigned_cloudinary_upload and the preset with use_filename: true. In the case of local file all works fine. But when I use remote url, in this way:

$('.cloudinary_fileupload').cloudinary_upload_url(upload_url_form.url.value);

image is uploaded successfully too but its name is set as full url path. That is in my case url to upload was:

http://res.cloudinary.com/engineering-com/image/fetch/w_200,h_150,f_jpg,c_fill/http://www.engineering.com/portals/0/BlogFiles/matwater/CNTs%20for%20Cancer.png

and cloudinary had given this public id:

http_res_cloudinary_com_engineering-com_image_fetch_w_200_h_150_f_jpg_c_fill_http_www_engineering_com_portals_0_BlogFiles_matwater_CNTs_20for_20Cancer_amolhg

Please write me how can I get it as

CNTs_20for_20Cancer_amolhg

instead.

Thank you

Alex

  Hi Alex,

  Currently when uploading from a remote URL while enabling use_filename , Cloudinary indeed uses the whole URL as the public ID rather than the last component. While it's on our road-map to support this as well, in the meantime you can specify a custom public_id while uploading. Note that this can be also generated via on of our integration libraries. e.g., in .NET:

  var upload = cloudinary.Upload(new ImageUploadParams()
  
  {
  
  File = new FileDescription(@"http://www.example.com/my_image.jpg"),
  
  UploadPreset = "my_preset",
  
  PublicId = "my_image",
  
  Unsigned = true
  
  });

  Hi Itay

  I have to do all things on the client side. This is my current code:

  $('.cloudinary_fileupload').fileupload('option', 'public_id', 'artest1410291643');

  $('.cloudinary_fileupload').cloudinary_upload_url(upload_url_form.url.value);

  delete ($('.cloudinary_fileupload').fileupload('option', 'public_id'));

  Unfortunately it does not work - the whole URL still is used, not 'artest1410291643' as I expected. What am I doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Alex

  If you use unsigned uploads, you can use something like the following:

  $('.cloudinary_fileupload').unsigned_cloudinary_upload(<upload\_preset>, {public_id: "my_image"});
