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.
Nope, board is up and running. As far as I can tell, all other cron jobs are running just fine. Even checked in the cron folder to make sure the iei file has right permissions and ownership set.
It wasn't originally, but even after I changed it to reflect the other scripts' ownerships, it still doesn't work.
Truly confusing.
What's even more startling is that months ago when I first had it running, it appears to have been working (the import/images folder is created and has prior files in it). It just seems that the actual script simply doesn't want to run.
Even deleting it and reinstalling it made no difference.
Okay, I was able to verify that the script *does* execute :
Introduced an error in the script - script sticks. There's an obvious execution difference.
Remove the error, script seems to work. SO, we now know it executes the code, but the code does nothing.
Also, it generates an error in the general error log file, to verify that the introduced error was registered, and that the code was being executed otherwise:
[Tue Sep 06 22:22:59 2011] [error] [client 99.9.155.41] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/suaymac/public_html/includes/cron/iei_cron.php on line 24, referer: http://suaymac.com/suayadmincp/cronadmin.php?do=modify
Okay, so now what?
The script runs, but does nothing (or rather, not the intended behavior) - not quite sure what other places to look into.
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?
