No. It is not intended to create attachments.

It is not possible to determine if an image you see in the posts is a thumb or actually an image. Thus it will import only images which have a recognizable format with the IMG BBCode.

I created the folder with 777 permissions but not create subfolders.

The mod does not work, how can I fix?

In order to block hotlinking you will have to add 3 (or more) lines in your .htaccess file, like:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I also heard from a trusted friend that "hotlink protection (via an htaccess file) doesn't protect images uploaded to vbulletin because they are being requested via php files, not via their native file name."

I'll keep you informed.

OK, did the code. It works if you post an image to another site with HTML img.

But, all I have to do is wrap the image in BB code ex. [img]www.thisisanimage[/img] and it still shows on the offending site.

Anyway around this?

Thanks!

OK, I believe it is working. Because of this mod though you cannot use a hotlnk error image because it copies the hotlink error image and replaces the original pic on your site.

There is no way around. Sites may enable hotlink protection at their discretion, but usually the plugin works. Some exceptions made. You may "whitelist" those domains in the options and thus they will keep the hotlink.

It's working except for that for the the hotlink image also ends up showing on my site.

I've since taken out the image. It'll now just show a blank empty post on the offending site.

I'm I reading you right, whitelist will make the image show? How do I whitelist?

Thanks.

Please go to the options. There is a big field with according description and most probably already a "path" of a previous release of this product. Just add as many items you need

Which options, sir? I went into my vbulletin options for this mod and did not see as you say "a big field with according description and most probably already a "path" of a previous release of this product. Just add as many items you need."

It is the "Ignore" field.

So, just put the URL of a site or sites in the Ignore field and my hotlink error message WILL show on the offending site and NOT show on my site (on my site the hotlink image was replacing the image which was hotlinked to begin with)?

If you insert the host in the ignore field, the images will not be imported. What they will show, in the end, depends on the site from where you try to show images. Which essentially may be hotlink blockers or anything else

I hope I'm using the proper terminology. Because you answered my question and now you're saying that this isn't the solution.

Here's the problem with this mod and hot linking (unless I'm doing something wrong but I tested it).

On MY site if I place a hot link image error to show up on the offending site which has grabbed an image from my site. The error image shows BUT the mod also replaces the image on my site with the error image.

Only want the error image to show on the offending site (obviously).

If I don't include an error image the offending site gets a blank screen and the image on my site stays intact. That's fine right? Shows it's working!

Thanks for your help!
