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.

If you didn't change the folder and it worked before and not now any more, maybe your provider changed something beyond our accessibility, such as, for example, the memory allocation for PHP scripts. There is no way to know, for me, what could have happened.

In a specific case before we made any imaginable efford to find out why, giving eventually up. And this is for me yet final. If the plugin does not work, there is nothing I can do about it.

Maybe the question is, what has changed at your hosting plan from then to now.

Going backwards your requests, this one shows the database server timed out before the image could be handled. Please fix first your server!

First, make sure to clear the post cache if you have any (truncate table: 'postparsed'). And maybe this will solve also other problems.

If you have a backup, you may replace the old posts:

Change the queries from 'INSERT INTO' to 'REPLACE INTO' from the 'post' table only. Also, consider to uninstall the plugin first (reason: additional field in post table). Of course, if users have edited their posts, they are overwritten by the restore. Thus, consider to make another backup before restore

Finally, the product is running quickly through all posts unless the post count is very small or the interval very large. If your server is setup to allow download documents via CURL, there should be no issue, however, if there are issues with downloading you would have find out when testing.
