way to upload pictures for news section on the start page
Description
The foodsharing start page has this nice news section which is configurable by the working group "Öffentlichkeitsarbeit - Startseite". As seen in the screenshot, as one element there is often a picture used. The status quo is that a picture is uploaded in the foodsharing cloud by the start page working group members and linked on the front page. A cookie-free way of doing that was implemented some time ago.
The foodsharing cloud server is facing some issues recently. Already some time ago it was recommended by the working group cloud (AG Cloud) to not have a link from the foodsharing cloud directly to the start page. Also it's not a very coherent way to upload pictures and if the foodsharing cloud is facing a downtime, the start page is directly affected.
Goal
The working group start page is now looking for a way to upload and link pictures on the start page without using the foodsharing cloud.
It should be a solution
- where every admin of the working group "Öffentlichkeitsarbeit - Startseite" should have the rights to upload pictures
- which is easy enough to explain and use for people without specific technical knowledge
- that can be implemented quickly
Solution
It would be enough to have a way to upload pictures somewhere (on the foodsharing server I guess) and generate an url that can be used in the start page editor/ with html.
Having a direct "upload" option in the start page editor (as foodshare points or the blog article editor have) could be an option too, depending on the effort to implement this. An easier solution would be recommended at this point in time I'd say.
