BETA: SplashAndGrab

https://github.com/madebymats/InputfieldSplashAndGrab

This module attaches a search input to selected image fields that lets you search and download images from Unsplash.
(Unsplash is a stock photo service where you can download images for free and use as you wish. No strings attached.)   
You can search by string, colors, orientation/crop and order by relevance or time published

I find Unsplash useful both for placeholder images when building sites but also as a time saver for editors if they don’t have any images at hand, just search, download and publish.

Thanks to @apeisa for building the  FlickrInputField Module and @Robin S for AddImageUrls,  took a lot ideas and code from those modules.

The name might be the best part of the module. ?

A Readme is added.

Hah, I had forgotten this one.

SplashAndGrab looks (and sounds) great!

Hi @Mats

thx, this has been on my wishlist for quite some time ? Have you thought about also integrating other services like https://www.pexels.com or https://pixabay.com ?

Cool - i was building this, but i got stuck on the Unsplah api which was telling me they didn't like downloads and wanted to only allow usage that would use the source image from them, and this wouldn't work with an images inputfield, or imagesizer engine, or any other image manipulation like srcsets etc; So i gave up... Looks like somehow you solved all of this, so thanks!  Does this use a fixed api key, or will that api key need to be configurable at some point?

This uses a fixed api key.

Won't you hit the limit pretty soon?

The 5000 hits limit resets hourly so I think it should be ok.

Hi @Mats

thank you for this module!

I noticed an issue when trying to crop images which where downloaded via this module on saving. The error said that the image could not be found.

I assume this has to do with the page file name, which has a "." in its name, which seems to be a problem.

I replaced the renaming with following line, which solves this problem for me. Maybe it's helpful for someone else coming accross this.

$pagefile->rename(str_replace('.', '-', $pagefile) . ".jpg");

I have noticed that on pages where an image field with this feature is activated, I get a warning that the page is being edited in another window that is generally off by a few minutes. I was not seeing this issue at all prior to adding the module. The page saves without issue, but immediately after saving the warning will pop up sometimes.

Irrelevant.

But here's something that's not - unsplash is charging now for their API. Can you include a place to include licensing on the backend for folks who still want to use them?
