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.
One additional observation / request / question -- this script seems to work on the FORUM section, yet doesn't touch images in the CMS section. Is there some way to make it include those?
Forgive my ignorance but how exactly would I do that? Is it a white-list setting or ???
You would do this with a query from phpmyadmin, such as:
Code:
UPDATE post SET pagetext=REPLACE(pagetext, 'http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=', 'http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/')
This can be time consuming and a server killer, but then you would be able to import the pictures normally. Maybe you will have to run this query locally with a very large timeout. It isn't however a guarantee to work, and the img11 suggests there are at least 11 different solutions for one problem ...
Normally you would first run a script to see if all the images are coming from the same server and then apply a global query which solves links in bunches.
Could you please make examples? I'm not sure what you want to have added.
i ask for adding thread url as link for image
when image is hosted and change the url address to my site
i want to make the image itself can be clicked with url of the thread itself
so if one copy the thread the images will be clicked to my forum thread

It already works this way. It copies the image to your site and renames the URL to the image. If somebody copies the message, they also copy the correct URL.
If, one day, you change your domain name, just reinstall the product and the images are reimported with the new domain name's URL (if the old domain is still accessible).
