Doesn't seem to be working with photobucket again? It just downloads a load of "no external hosting allowed" images.

Yeah, they might keep an eye on it or eventually apply a firewall rule to keep people from downloading the images.

Maybe you better give up on them. I tried to get to the point where an image shows up, but no success.

It seems they have disabled public images and were "sold" to an unnamed third party which now made it an advertising hog. It's a pity how deep certain services may fall

I did a PB import today for somebody and got 96/100 imported.

Is it possible to 'reverse' the ignore option ?
So that only the url specified can be cached.

I will try to toggle some true/false but it will be helpful if someone has already done this.

just found that if you add ~original after the .jpg the image of the photobucket [IMG] link and the image appears

can or will this script do this ?

The fix still appears to be working for me with images imported as late as yesterday without issues. I do note that I have *very* few images coming through from photobucket as people have moved onto other things. It could be that those last couple are paid accounts and that's why it's working... For one main user it probably is, for the other couple it's unlikely.

Again, brilliant little fix that the community is loving.

Very good plugin, works exellent, thank you
One question; is it possible to have the plugin to fetche photobucket-links only?

Update: seems like PB has blocked this now. Alot of PB-pictures is not changed according to log, when i check the actual post, and add ~ behind the .jpg the picture works fine :-(

Edit: checked the table and many PB-pictures is downloaded, and some is not. hmm

No. The idea is to download all images.

If some images do not download, it may be that some PB accounts are simply moved elsewhere.

Don't think so.
If i check a post that is "Not changed" according to log - i find the "you must upgrade your PB" picture. If i copy the URL and open it up in a browser, picture is showing up.
Not sure why, maybe because of the time out?
Anyway, how can i rerun this plugin on the whole forum? Let's say the plugin has scanned and downloaded all pictures and i want to start over - how do i do it?

The point is, in any case, a server is not a browser. When simple attempts to fake a browser fail, then you have two options: you develop a software which handles that specific case and repair it every time something changes, or you say: impossible.

I do not have time to watch PB developers, so to me it's the second option

The latest advice was the PHP might be silently crashing and wanted more memory. I've been slowly upping the max_memory (as I didn't want to go unlimited just yet) and it's running again. I'm somewhere north of 40,000 images checked so far (excluding photobucket) and I'm currently running at only about 40% of links being found. To be fair this is
2005 - 2011 so it's less of a surprise but really does ram home the need to run a script like this one if possible.

I believe I am experiencing this as well. I installed this mod in order to overcome the 'mixed content' warnings and so far it is not working for me. I see a few images have been added to the 'imported' image folder, but just a few, and I also get the 'Done' (and only 'Done') message when I manually run the cron.job.

When you say you are 'upping the max_memory' (or to set it to 'unlimited') - where are those adjustments done - is that within the vB admin panel somewhere, or are you talking about a server setting. How can I adjust this in order to get the cron job to completely run. And I'm assuming if this is working 100% correctly, that I should see the mixed content warnings disappear immediately - is that right?

As far as I know the only place to lay hands on, is the php.ini file and physical memory.
