How to Install External Media Plugin, Manually

Getting started.

NOTE: Some steps require you to have developer accounts in third-party
services and obtain API Keys in order to configure the plugin.
If you’re not a developer you might need help from someone you know
or contact the author for support.

• Please enable the External Media plugin.
• Configure one or more services. Each field has a description with links.
• Please follow instructions to generate all required keys in those links.

Configration.

• Enable plugins you would like to see in the Add Media library.
• Set “Only allow inser to remote files” if you would like to
  use the plugin only in “Insert from URL” media tab.

Dropbox.

• Use your existing account or create new account in Dropbox (dropbox.com).
• Open https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps and create Drop-in app.
• Enter all domain names in ChooserSaver domains field.
• Copy the “App Key” and use it in the plugin to enable insert links or
  imports from Dropbox.

Box.

• Use your existing account or create new account in Box (box.com).
• Open https://app.box.com/developers/services and create a new Box Application.
• Once created you should be able to see the Api Key.
• Copy the “Api Key” (see under “Backend Parameters”) and use it in the
  plugin to enable insert links or imports from Box.

Instagram.

NOTE: Please note you might need to re-open Instagram file picker popup after you
first time login. Please also note that users only can choose their own photos.

• Open https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/ and register
  a New Client.
• Provide Redirect URI (this can be found on the plugin configuration page)
• Use Client ID and Client Secret in the plugin.
• NOTE: This plugin ONLY allows to use your own Instagram pictures.

OneDrive (Microsoft).

NOTE: OneDrive button doesn’t always trigger the popup. You have to keep pressing the
button until the popup shows up. It behaves the same even on the MS’s website.
See https://dev.onedrive.com/sdk/javascript-picker-saver.htm
It might start working well once they fixe the issue.

• Please Register (https://account.live.com/developers/applications) your app
  to get an app ID (client ID), if you haven’t already done so.
• Ensure that the web page that is going to reference the SDK is a
  Redirect URL under Application Settings.
• Set Mobile or desktop client app to No.
• Leave Target domain empty.
• Set Restrict JWT issuing to Yes.

• Copy the Client ID and use it on the plugin configuration page.

  IMPORTANT: Most people have problems with properly configuring the OneDrive app.
  You have to add your wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page page paths as Redirect URLs.
  For instance: http://example.com/wp-admin/post-new.php,
  http://wp.local.com:8888/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=page.
  To FIX this issue you would have to provide all the page URLs where you are going to use the uploader.

GoogleDrive.

• To get started using Google Picker API, you need to first create or select a
  project in the Google Developers Console and enable the API.
  https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=picker
• Add your Client ID obtained from the Google Developers Console.
  Example format: 886162316824-pfrtpjns2mqnek6e35gv321tggtmp8vq.apps.googleusercontent.com
• Application ID. Its the first number in your Client ID. e.g. 886162316824
• Add scopes or use the default scope.
  More about scopes: https://developers.google.com/picker/docs/#otherviews
• Make sure you enable Picker API.

Usage.

• Create or edit any page or other content.
• Press Add Media button.
• Choose either you would like to insert a link to the file (Insert from URL)
  or import file from third-party service (this will save files in WordPress
  and will become permanent, further changes to files on the third-party service
  won’t reflect on the site).
