Convert [IMG] to [URL] in quoted text

OK, another quick one I made 'cause someone requested something like this and I didn't find it while looking for it
So, forgive me if something like this already exists.... :nervous:
(Point of reference)

This one replaces all [IMG] tags in quoted text with [URL] tags.
So, you and your users don't have to see the same image over and over again, and if you really forgot what the image was, just click the link

Installation:
Import the product .XML -> DONE


Like I said, a quick one.


Update 1.20
By request, this now also adds an option to the UserCP where users can choose if quoted images should be converted to URLs or left as images.

UserCP -> Edit Options -> At the bottom of the page

I was patiently waiting for this to be ported to 3.5
Installed.

But it only seems to work on NEW quotes.
Excisting quotes with images in it are unaffected.
Well, it's better than nothing, but it would be cool if this could be made.

Indeed, this only affects new quotes.

The old ones will vanish quite soon on the mysterious "page 2" anyway

Page 2? Who the f*ck reads page 2?
You're right. Thanks for your reply.

Double thanks!

I just imported this product .XML, and tried it on my board (running 3.5.3.) Tried quoting an IMG and nothing changed, it kept it as an IMG and didn't convert it to a URL. Any ideas?

Update:
I'm not sure this is going to make any sense at all but it appears to only be happening when you are quoting a pic hosted from imageshack or photobucket??

Other sources of pics from other servers work fine?

Okay, I know what the issue is now. When people are using ImageShack or PhotoBucket to host pics, those services provide the links complete with the image tags to paste into a post, they are providing all caps [IMG] tags and this hack is replacing only [img] tags.

I went in and edited both locations in the plug-in manager as a test and copied the code and duplicated it, replacing only the [img] with [IMG] (all caps) and it's now working perfectly.

I'm no coder and I'm sure theres a cleaner way to do this but as a quick test to determine the issue this worked rather nicely.

PHP Code:

$pagetext = str_replace( "[IMG]", "[url]", $pagetext );
$pagetext = str_replace( "[/IMG]", "[/url]", $pagetext );
$pagetext = str_replace( "[img]", "[url]", $pagetext );
$pagetext = str_replace( "[/img]", "[/url]", $pagetext );
