Administrative and Maintenance Tools - 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.

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

[TerryMason]

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.

Well it seems it's going good now

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?

[tommythejoat]

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.
