Help with AWS Bucket

Need help Plugins
1

Hi,

I have just purchased the AWS File Uploader and am attempting to create a bucket in AWS.

I was following this - https://docs.zeroqode.com/plugins/aws-file-uploader-plugin

I was getting along ok until it says * If necessary you can go deeper and set your own rules, for a more secure application .

Then it shows an image of a tabbed interface which I couldnt see anywhere.

I proceded to make a bucket and found some similar interfaces and tried my best to type the code in (The code wasnt copy and pastable in the tutorial for some of them)

Then when I get to the end of that section it tells me to create a bucket which makes me feel I’ve done it wrong up until that point.

The CORS section also says it’s written in JSON yet the guide provides XML I believe?

I’d be grateful for any help so that I can get my AWS file uploader up and running.

All the best,

James

I’ve also scoured the web and it seems there is not any tutorials yet.

I feel like what I am trying to do is relatively simple and probably the main use for this pluging.

eg. User uploads an image and then image is displayed in an image placeholder. It would be amazing if anyone could just briefly explain the steps, I found it very simple with the built in file uploader but I’m very stuck with the AWS methods. Thanks!

It’s a good plugin with horrible documentation. It took me a while to get setup too.

Here’s a link showing my setup. You’ll obviously have to swap your website url, bucket names, etc for mine. In that post I mention I was having issues but the issue was with my setup on the plugin page within bubble. The screenshots in that post should be a good template to follow.

In future, if you have trouble with Zeroquode plugins, your best bet is to post at https://forum.zeroqode.com/

Thanks a lot for your reply, that forum helped me with a few bits. Still mostly stuck on how to actually display the image once the users uploaded it. Ideally I want to push the image into a database as ‘profile photo’ and then display the user’s ‘profile photo’ as a dynamic image.

Hopefully someone one day will have a walk through video :slight_smile:

Just add a standard bubble image container. In the image container select dynamic text and use that to specify the S3 URL of the uploaded image.

Hey! Thanks a lot for your help.

It didn’t work but I realised it’s something to do with my bucket setup as when I made my bucket public it all works… So at least I know where to investigate.

Cheers

If the developers are reading this, would there be any chance of republishing the guidance as it’s out of date and I’m sure it will drive every new user as insane as me.

I’ve come to this platform because it’s supposed to be no code and I feel the guidance very much assumes that I should understand code. It would be great if you could create a new step by step guide on how to create a bucket on AWS. I’ve spent the last 10 hours or so endlessly googling because the guidance is essentially giving old information in a coding language that is no longer supported by AWS.

Thanks,

James

Your questions are Zeroquode (i.e. plugin setup) and AWS (i.e. S3 bucket creation) questions, not Bubble questions.

Bubble engineers support Bubble products, not Zeroquode products.

As mentioned previously, if you have an issue with a Zeroquode product, post on https://forum.zeroqode.com/

No code is required to create an S3 bucket. Find S3 bucket creation instructions by clicking here.

Thanks for your help, yeah my post was aimed at the zeroqode developers, as it seemed they were quite active here. I did also post on the other forum. so hopefully I’ll get a response soon.

Thanks for your code screenprints, mine is exactly the same code as yours. The documentation just has conflicting things where on some sections it says the bucket should be public and some sections say it should not be public. I’ll move onto zeroqode forum from now on to resolve this issue.

Thanks a lot!
