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.
That hack isn't really the same as this one is it? This one here takes the image and stores it in the file system. The other hack you linked just caches it right?

It is not exactly the same. But it still saves the images locally to your server, even though it does not create subfolders.
Wow; clever idea! I wonder if it's possible to do that with files that aren't images? PDFs, .docs, zips, etc? One thing my forum has is a lot of old dead links to files that aren't there any more.

Yes, pretty easy. It would however require another product based off from this one.
can we change the name of images directory my images import in import directory now can i change directory name import to anyone
You can change the name of the image directory any time. However, you can't change the name of the image directory on the server, because all the posts before the change will continue to point to the "old" folder. So if you change the directory name in the options from oldfolder to newfolder, you will have to keep both oldfolder and newfolder on the server.
