Downloading Images from a specific thread

[RichieBoy67]

Hello,

I would like to download images and attachments from specif threads. I figured this would be simple but I am having a hard time. Anyone have a simple solution?

Thanks

Like a third party tool or a tool locally on your server that pulls all embedded images and attachments into a zip file?

Anything that would accomplish the goal.
I have tried a couple Firefox extensions but they do not work well with Vbulletin.

[Dave]

Made a jQuery script for fun which should download any images in threads.
Open up developer tools and execute the following in the console:

$(".postcontent img").each(function(index, val){
   if($(val).attr('src').indexOf("smilie") === -1){
      var a = $("<a>").attr("href", $(val).attr('src')).attr("download", $(val).attr('src').split("/")[$(val).attr('src').split("/").length - 1]).appendTo("body");
      a[0].click();
      a.remove();
   }
});

Will probably download duplicates as well, but you get the idea. It'll only download embedded images.

Thanks so much Dave, tried something close to that but the only issue is that it makes me save each one which will take a very long time.

I wonder if i can change a setting inside Firefox to make it download auto.. hitting the do this automatically box is not doing the trick. I think I may have it..will let you know.
Thanks buddy!

[Dave]

It downloads automatically in Chrome, but I'm sure there's some kind of setting for this in FireFox as well.

[RichieBoy67]

Yeah, I got it working by going into the settings though it stops for duplicates. Still it does the job.

Thanks much Dave!

There are website copy tools: https://www.httrack.com/

You may be able to choose which to download: images, videos, attachments etc or the entire website. You may want to check them out. I think it will download all images into a directory etc...



Enjoy,
