Description

Is it feasible to make thumbnails of included images from third party websites with IMG tag?

That's something I thought about, though I am not sure it would be legal in all cases to retrieve, edit and keep a local copy of a picture from a third party... Will add it though in the next version.

Great!

Sorry to be pushing, but when do you plan to release such version?
I am willing to contribute to such developement, because I do not want big images in my teasers.
I hope people will not mind using their pictures, because I will promote their sites anyway...

Thank you!

Hello hunvreus, any news?

Can you make a short description how you plan to implement this feature? Will it store images with image imagecashe and then there will be an option to play with image size?

Thank you!!!

Hi guys. I've been a very bad geek: I've let my work eat all of my time and ended up with no time to deal with the projects I had started.

I am going to set this issue as "won't fix" for the moment: I think this should be a separate module, moreover this need to be carefully approached as this functionality is copyright sensitive. I will give it a spin later this week (I am releasing 4 modules this week).
