I would like to know if there's an easy way of allowing this module to accept any third party image provider's URL. As of now, it only allows flickr, picassa, photobucket and imageshack. What I really need is a field that takes any image URL without any limitations of where that image its been hosted.

* If anyone has any idea of an existing module that will allow me to do this, please drop me a link.

Thanks

After searching current threads, I was unable to find a solution to this problem here. So i decided to try and come out with a solution. I created a new provider "Global Provider" which will allow users to embed images from any 3rd image provider and basically any image on the internet. I have attach the ZIP file containing information about the provider as well as the provider itself.

Please feel free to give suggestions and ask questions about any flaws or security risks you may find in the file - it will definitely be appreciated.

Here is a new update to the Global Provider; which solves an error when first creating an image field. The fix is on line #81
