Save image from URL

Wappler General Need Help

Is there a way to save an image from a url? I want the user to be able to pick an image from the web (search limited to free use) and have that image stored on my server (after resize & create thumbnail). The image will then be named with the record id for recall later.

Thanks

I tried to do something similar. if you use the dropzone component and then click on it to open, you can paste the URL in there and it will upload it. But I couldn’t find a way to do it directly through the action scripts.

Thanks. That actually works with the single upload as well. Not ideal, but it works.

Works fine with most browsers but I have had problems doing that with Chrome, apparently it’s a known bug

I’m using Chrome and it works, albeit a bit slowly sometimes.
