Import External Images
 

This vBulletin 4 product imports external images in your posts from external servers or paths into a specific path, normally your forum's image folder.

Differently than the previous product Image Cache for vBulletin 3.x., it parses the posts at regular intervals for new images and replaces the external references in the background. Also, instead of using only a single folder, it creates folders for years and months, making it much easier to handle large quantities of images. The source and destination image URL's are stored into database, too, avoiding unnecessary duplicates.

It moves and optionally converts images from one place to another. It is a handy tool in order to keep your images local to your forums.

Version 1.0.4 is temporarily in BETA stage until the users have confirmed the newly requested features.
Version 1.0.5 is still in BETA stage. It adds a new bunch of additional features, one of which allows you to test your mathematical understanding :) ... and a few other to fine-tune CURL and socket timeouts, and resizing on the fly of too large images. If you don't know what these options do, please leave them at their default values.

Gotta install it now... :)
Thanks...MAI

tagged, thanks,
it uses the forum as referer or the image domain?

Thanks a lot!

thank you

Thanks for coding this as I think it's very useful ... :)

I don't have a development board capability, just a live site with 13,000 members and lots of IMG externally hosted pics, so I'd love to get feedback from folks who install and test this before I try it on our live site ... just in case ... ;)

ps: does it go back and bring in externally hosted pics from OLD existing posts, or just new ones posted from the time forward after the mod is installed?

Tagged! Great mod. I'll try it out later, ;)

Thanks!

So will it go through all past posts and replace those images?

I snap shot would be highly appreciated....!

check this thread , on his own boards
it seems every single image will be hosted on his own server in /imported folder , nice hack , but i really need to switch to dedicated servers before installing this :)
