Share Intend

[luke-]

TBD

[PrimozRatej]

@luke- could you elaborate the goals for this issue?

[luke-]

@PrimozRatej I think we need to enhance the HumHub application a bit for this.

It's mainly about sharing a photo or text with HumHub.

After one click, a space selection should be displayed. This probably has to be implemented natively (not WebView).

[PrimozRatej]

Current impl.

We now obtain sharing intention of the device for images, I would recommend implementing a pop-up on the website using Web Message Channel where the base64-encoded image will be passed in. This way, all the implementation can be done on the web side.

@PrimozRatej Thank you, I will check that.

Maybe we can then use the same solution here as for the PWA. (Not existing yet)

In the long run/in a later app version we should probably still develop a native selector of the HumHub Share target.

@PrimozRatej Can we disable this until we finished the work on the HumHub side?

[PrimozRatej]

Shure will disable the feature for now.

We implemented this for our in-house app.
We implemented two intends: Humhub post and Humhub messaging

Might be an idea for this app? As users might want to message an item to individual teammates as well as posting to spaces...

Good point.

Probably it's useful to have one "HumHub" entry and then a dialog to select:

• Post -> Space/Profile
• Message -> Conversation

Good point.

Probably it's useful to have one "HumHub" entry and then a dialog to select:

• Post -> Space/Profile
• Message -> Conversation

Could this be extended to be able to add other options as well? Such as usage for other modules?

Post -> Content Container

Or something a little more complex like the following;

Content -> Module Container -> Space/Profile/Custom

@luke- do you think implementing this feature would be enough to apply again for Apple Store?
If yes, then I think this could be the next work to be done, and I could try helping on it.

This is definitely one of the next topics on the app development agenda.
Ideally, the Sharing Intend can also be used for the PWA.
