Proxyfie images

Post by HiFiKabin »

Looking around (as you do) I have found this MOD for SMF which proxyfies all images you have on your forum. I have looked through the code and have no idea if and/or how one might implement it into phpBB.

Anyone want to take it on?

As I see it, all the ext needs to do with the img BBCode is replace http: or https: (as appropriate) with https://images.weserv.nl/?url=

Robert. That ext needs Camo installed on your server, the one I found doesn't.

I see. however, it seems that one of the main reasons for using that SMF mod is :
Make sure all images come from one fast and reliable source
what happens when this free service, like they are prone to do, goes away? now you have all those images that will no longer work.

at least with it all on your server , you will be in control of the images .

True, but as I am not allowed to install camo on my shared hosting ...

Also, should the free hosting 'go away' then removing the code will revert everything to as it was previously.

I think this could be easily done.

I could take this request if nobody else is interested, I would need some time to finish some projects though.

Have a look at this extension: viewtopic.php?t=2487136 The only downside is that it doesn't come with a proxy, but adding one should be easy.
