My temp folder is with many pictures with the final cached, I can remove all these files?

Hi,

My forum has been created in 2013 and I installted the mod 2 days ago, however it has only imported the 2013 images in my server. And even though the script is run, it doesn't create anything else now. There are no 2014 or 2015 folders the my server..

Can someone help me please ?

Any help please ?

did you check the temp folder for bad images, as the others had issues with above?

I'd like to convert my site from http to https, and need to run this script to clear the way.

Is there a way to import the images using https, even though my forum url is using http only? Even better, can I have link them images using something like //www.forum.com/image.png, instead of specifying https.

*edit - never mind. I found that if I just put the desired url into the replament url section it works perfectly.

Thank you for this fantastic mod.

Where can i find this temp folder please ? Is it the same as "Imported" folder ?

Regards

Well it seems it's going good now :o

If I placed IMG="{param}" into the image tag option field would the import process retain image titles?

EG: [IMG="This is an image title"]http://etc.etc [/ img]

I can't remember ... why don't you try it? :)

Unless you do something with the IMG tag, it does not accept a parameter and will not parse if one is present.

Several years ago, I created an ALT tag that uses the parameter as the image url and uses the argument as the contents of the alt attribute. I just changed that to use title instead of alt to conform with the current HTML recommendations.

Where can i find this temp folder please

I will be thankful if any one can help:confused:

Hi Giovanni ....

We just migrated our server to a new hardware platform. The old one was 10 years old.

Unfortunately, the import mod we've been running for years has stopped working and it simply hangs when the cron job executes. (see attached)

I enabled the cron log to test, but there's nothing showing an information in the log for the Import External Images job, so I assume the script never even executes.

The new server is running Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) with PHP Version 5.6.28, but I don't think that should be an issue.

I'm not even sure what to check to see why it's stopped working and just hanging on a manual run after all these years?

Any help would be appreciated...

Regards,
Doug

May be the folder permissions needs to be fixed.
(read/write/create) rights (chmod 777)

Thanks for suggestion and jumping in to help .. :)

I was just going to post a follow up...

Our developer got this fantastic mod working again .. :up:

Well, he really didn't do anything except as he says "added a bunch of new/updated image code development libraries to the server" ..

For whatever reason, that caused the mod to start working again immediately!!! :)

I'm so happy to have it running again.. our members would really miss it's ability to preserve image history from all the pics that they have built up and posted over these last many years.

Doug

... and also maybe fopen() for URL's is not enabled, or perhaps you got once again memory issues? Is memory swapping early?

ok, I didn't see this :)

No problem Giovanni .. :)

Running real well now.. again !!! :up:

Fabulous add-on to our site and much appreciated by our membership of retired military veterans. It does a great job of helping us gather and preserve historical photographs in a single location on our web site.

Perfect for helping me keep my site SSL.

Installed & working on 4.2.3. I ran the cron job in batches of 10, and no issues. Nice work :)

Been running this successfully on a few sites but today I am getting a ton of these database errors: I replaced the name of the clients domain.

Invalid SQL:
INSERT IGNORE INTO iei_img (
oldurl,
newurl
) VALUES (
'http://wtfurls.com/images/86.jpg',
'mysite.com'
);

Can you please send me the whole error via PM? As it looks here, there is no problem at all.

Thanks

This is an issue with your database server, there is nothing I can do about it.

I wonder if the host blocked it.. was working fine before.

No, but they have changed the server settings in order to reduce the server load. Eventually you can get it back working by reducing the number of imported images for every run.

I only had it set to 1...

Anyway we can get this to import Tapatalk images?

Figured it out. Great mod.

Thanks!

Question, I am having an issue where a few images are being replaced with different images from the source image. Source images and replacement images are all different in different posts/threads.

Any insight on this issue? Let me know what you need from me.

Thanks

In theory yes, however I'm unsure about the technical problems.

No idea. Unless the server is feeding random images ...

Works just fine on my site.

How did you accomplish it?

Not sure what you mean? Any external image url that sits between [img] tags in the post table is imported as is intended by this mod. Certainly is the case on my board unless I missing some other Tapatalk function..

Are these two versions still in beta?

I decided to install version 1.05 which seems to be working generally quite well except for the following error:

What's interesting is that so far at least it is always the same image (see above) but different threads and your add-on is in fact correctly inserting clear.gif in those threads.

I'm on a tweaked dedicated server so I don't think the "MySQL server has gone away" is the usual problem of too many connections (persistent connections is off)... not sure what to make of this.

Any suggestions?

Is it a bad idea to be running version 1.05? (I didn't get a response to my previous question above.)

I'll add my 2 cents.... :)

I've been using y2ksw's mod for years and it's been working flawlessly on our v4.1.3 pl8 ... :up:

I check every morning by manually running his "vB4 Import External Images" cron job, just to see if it's hanging on any image imports, which way back in early versions used to be the result of it trying to import some HUGE freakin image a member had linked to in a post.

I haven't had it hang up for years, but I still check it as an old habit.... ;)

I'm running v1.06, but it's been so long, I can't remember why. That's what happens when you get to be almost 70. :D

I know I had PayPal donated to y2ksw for his excellent work and I also think I did more PayPal's a few times more as he privately helped me with some issues. I may have ended up with v1.06 as a result. For some reason, I think along the way working with him, he did something to ensure that it didn't crash when some clown member tries to link to a picture off-site that's too large for the code to handle. I think he also had me change some PHP values, but again, it's been so long since I've had to touch anything.

v1.06 is what my AdminCP currently shows me running and it's been reliable and probably one of the best vBulletin add-ons we use.

It's amazing to see images from members that go back years and years, which have long since been deleted from their original off-site linked to storage, still be showing in their posts. Being a research site, it has been extremely helpful in keeping old threads with pictures still relevant after several years, instead of getting that dreaded "Photo Missing" error.

Thanks again for your excellent add-on y2ksw ... :up:

Hope that helps someone else here ... :)

Regards,
Doug

I would be glad to donate towards an updated version that addresses the issues I mentioned in my above post.

Hello.
Sorry.. I installed it .. And? How to start the scanning process and import images?

1. Go to AdminCP >> Options >> Settings >>vB4 Import External Images and input your settings and enable the addon

2. Go to AdminCP >> Scheduled Tasks >> Scheduled Task Manager >> vB4 Import External Images

3. Edit your settings there and then enable the cron job /scheduled task.

It's now occurring with other images:

Missing images seem to create a problem?
