Hello @Luganda1
Quite a few versions ago we changed the setup and configuration of the upload providers to file based instead of through the admin panel.
Each provider has a README file that explains where and how to configure Strapi to use them, for cloudinary see: strapi/README.md at master · strapi/strapi · GitHub
The short answer is you need to create the following file: ./config/plugins.js
With the following content:
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
// ...
upload: {
provider: 'cloudinary',
providerOptions: {
cloud_name: env('CLOUDINARY_NAME'),
api_key: env('CLOUDINARY_KEY'),
api_secret: env('CLOUDINARY_SECRET'),
},
},
// ...
});
Then in Heroku set those environment variables:
- CLOUDINARY_NAME
- CLOUDINARY_KEY
- CLOUDINARY_SECRET
This can be done via their CLI tool or inside their web interface.
Hi Derrick!
This what i exactly did before but it cant seem to give me what am looking for. Is there anyway we can share screens and see how you can help me with this?
Sure @Luganda1 let me PM you and see if we can setup a quick zoom call then we can summarize the interaction here when we are done
