OK, I think I have got this working with CURL. All you need to do is replace the fp_get_remote_file function with the following:

function fp_get_remote_file($url) {
# use CURL library to fetch remote file
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0);
$results = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

return $results;
}

However, one problem exists, if there is any embedded flash video the plugin will try, unsuccessfully, to transload that also.

Unfortunately this does not seem to work with some hosts, such as Dreamhost, who do not allow fopen in their PHP. I am trying to re-write with the CURL lib but so far I am not getting results.

Excellent, I was just blogging about my need for such a plugin.

Would it be possible to go back through my previous posts and run the plugin on them? Maybe in the options there could be an “run now on all entries” button. At this point I have a number of images posted through Flickr that need the treatment.

idea for a wordpress plugin: copy linked images to server…

It’s nice to have services such as Flickr where I can upload an image, then click a button to create an entry on my blog displaying and linking to the image. Unfortunately, there may come a time with I close my Flickr account or Flickr closes up…

Very nice plugin and seems to be working very well!

However it seems to only be parsing the contents of the post (the wp_posts table). Is it possible to make a version that will also parse the meta-data (the wp_postmeta table)

The reason I ask is that my users will submit external image URLs through a custom field which is stored in postmeta.

So is there an easy tweak to make the plugin also parse this table?

Thanks,
Andy
