ShareRenamer app fork

ShareRenamer app has forked and Nextcloud 12 is supported:

https://github.com/LazyShpee/sharerenamer

Just wanted to share this.

The ability to customize the name of a shared link should be an integrated feature of Nextcloud I think.

Nice.
Are you planning to add this to the app store?

AFAIK this was considered a security challenge.

sure, but if people want it I donā€™t see why we wouldnā€™t allow this in the app storeā€¦ Lukas might disagree but - I would like to see it in the store and personally I would use it.

I was referring to:

App is fine imo.

Is there any howto how to install and run it?

most prolly you usually copy it directly into your apps-directory (check the ownership of files) and then it should be possible to activate it in the admin-section of your NC

Has somebody managed to install it recently?

I installed and activated it via command:
wget https://github.com/LazyShpee/sharerenamer/archive/master.zip && unzip master.zip && rm master.zip && sudo mv sharerenamer-master/ /var/www/nextcloud/apps/ && sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud/apps/ && sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ app:enable sharerenamer-master
It said ā€œsharerenamer-master enabledā€, but it didnā€™t work.
I checked Addons via Web-GUI, but the Addon was not activated. When i tried to activate it, it said ā€œCould not download app sharerenamerā€.

I managed to get a workaround using the Database itself: update oc_share set token = ā€˜readablestringā€™ where token = ā€˜brghwegtsfatgā€™;
Though it is not pretty and definitely not scalable and user-friendly, it works if you donā€™t need it often.
Maybe this helps someone :slight_smile:
