Random questions and such related to various things! #1381

sorry in advance for unprofessionalism and or hard to understand blocks of text here but...! hello! i am quite new to this, and infact, dont think ive ever used github discussions, but throughout testing this to have a personal little image storage that i can also share through friends, i have random questions ive accumulated, or perhaps even i guess suggestions if they dont exist! first things came up with downloading, in the end, i decided to use docker, as i have no idea how the release installation works, tried looking up stuff to install php for it, but in the end, i got stuck on the part where i start the server, with i assume because "router.php" is missing, as when i looked in the folder, its not there either another question, i saw the discussion for "Automated tag categories" which never seemed to have an end answer other than "alias them", i was wondering if theres a more optimal way to do this? basically saying "hey you got the post for a species, lets autoamtically just say this is IN this category" instead of having to prefix the category on it, like a category editor i guess would work better in my mind rather than prefixing everything, unsure if thats a thing that exists but thought i'd check 👀 speaking of aliases and such, with the wiki extension, there are tag pages, on these it says the tag's aliases and auto-tags if they are there, BUT it doesn't say what tags auto tag THAT tag, which would be neat, same for aliases, it doesn't say on an aliased tags page that it is infact, aliased to another tag, and would be nice if the wiki page redirected to the other tag's page i suppose in that case aswell another tag categories question, is there a way to re-order the tags? the normal "general" tags are always at the bottom, but what if theres a category i want to put below the general tags? and lesser important, is it possible to make a tag category that is hidden by default? questions related to searching now, as im bad at trying to research this another important thing here, is there a way to check for "similar" images on the site and/or duplicate images? it would be nice to make sure there arent any duplicates or extremely similar images on the board before posting/after posting even to check, i dont want to accidentally have the same thing uploaded multiple times i suppose, so this feels like one of the most important things to me! related to sources, is there a way to have multiple sources? it seems incapable of having multiple valid sources linked in the source field related to small visual things, moreso suggestions here i guess: another question: is it possible to auto-tag images overall automatically, based on certain things like resolution, aspect ratio? with autotagging and aliases, it would be nice if i could click into the existing fields to edit them instead of having to delete them and re-add them, or re-type the same thing over and over again, i feel like it doesnt have to refresh the whole page so the search can still stay in-place aswell, but im unsure! a page to search tags as they exist already normally would be nice also if it doesnt exist already very small thing, but dont know if theres a better way to embed posts on the site/wiki page without worrying about domain changing (tunneling can change the address everytime) so i manually go to the "Link to Post" extension at the bottom of a post and have to change the site URL to site:// manually every time, would be nicer to know if there is an easier way to link and embed an image on a wiki page for example! this is all i can think of for now at the time of writing, dont know if i categorized this correctly or anything, was quite confusing with the abundance of text, and im sorry for my probably lack of professionalism, i just like being myself so LOL if it matters, checking for version, it says "2.12.0-alpha-20250126-45b9002" |

As a general rule one thread per topic is easier to manage so we can keep track of which questions have been answered and which are still being discussed, and using the "issues" system for feature requests and bug reports, but to do a first-pass at least -
docker is fine (and is actually what I use for all my own installs), but bare metal should definitely work o_O https://github.com/shish/shimmie2/blob/main/tests/router.php should definitely be there, I wonder what was there, if not that...
not that I'm aware of
that makes sense to be a feature request
that also makes sense to be a feature request
currently the only sorting at all is "general tags at the bottom"
not currently
not currently, though it'd be welcome as a new features
nope
that would need a few special cases to be added, right now the link is just "a link"; it might go to the shimmie built-in wiki, might go to some other community wiki, might go to google, or wikipedia
I don't know if it has a number either, I don't use that extension myself
that seems worth filing as a bug report at least
currently no auto-tagging based on metadata, but there are aliases to metadata, like you could alias "huge" to "width>2000 height>2000"
That seems like a valid feature request
I'm not sure what this means
I think relative links should work? Like If relative links don't work, I'd file that as a bug |
