Nice one, I'll install this tomorrow on my test copy of the live site, and see how it copes with 250,000 posts to go though ;)

One thing I need to do is make it work like "Rebuild caches" with run-deferred. Currently if you put in a too large a number then it times out. It's a bit of a pain having to wait for the cron task.
 
Mick,

I have been looking for an add-on to locally store remote images for ages in xF (There was a vB one that used to work really well!!). Many thanks for coding and releasing this :)

Presuming it works under 1.2?

Cheers
Paul

It ONLY works under 1.2 :)
 
I noticed one issue with this. My forum is ten years old. So, because we didn't have this great mod, some old threads have broken images. Not usually an issue but sometimes people reference these old threads in new ones. I recently had this happen and someone fixed their image with a new link.

However, metamirror never goes back and checks these old posts to update it. Anyway to make it update an old post? Maybe have an input field for post id or thread id to recheck?

I'm going to update it so posts (and sigs) are immediately scanned or re-scanned on edit. I'll also add an option to flush all the flags to make it re-scan everything.
 
Hello,

and first - sorry for my bad english. ;)

Two questions:
- Can I use this addon also for photos of an existing vBulletin lexicon (photos are Attachments) to "import" them in a existing XenForo V1.2 on the same domain but in other directories?

- And can the Addon be limited to certain categories/sub forums in XenForo, to use this feature just there?

We need to get several hundred photos from our old vBulletin lexicon (of coder "Vossi") to the new XenForo in simple threads/posts over ...

Regards

It will only import photos that have an [IMG] tagged link in a post in the XenForo site. So if you have an attachment in a vbulletin forum, then the link will look something like:
http://www.woodworkingcafe.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=163&d=1328572908

and it that is in a Xenforo post as:
[IMG]http://www.woodworkingcafe.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=163&d=1328572908[/IMG]

Then it will import it.

HOWEVER, there's bug that I just uncovered in testing this, in that if you use attachments then the XenForo attachment system will treat any file missing a valid image extension as not an image. So it will replace the image with a link to the file (which still works, but it's no longer in the post).

You can exclude forums by id. So you would have to exclude everything except the forum you want to include.

I'll work on a fix to the attachment/extension problem, and hope to have a new release later today (along with re-scanning edited posts and sigs)
 
I *need* this. Is it working good? I don't want to mess my forums so I'm waiting for new versions for possible bugs to get fixed.
 
I've not heard any complaints recently. But there are no guarantees. There's the one small bug above (files without an extension show up as files not images when rehosted as attachments). I will be releasing a fix for that today, along with re-processing edited posts for new images, and instant rehosting for new posts.
 
Above update also includes a "Flush Flags" option in the test tool. This will reset ALL the per-post flags, causing the entire database to be scanned again.

It also (I just realized) contains a small bug in that excluded forums are not excluded with instant rehosting. Fix incoming.
