Remote File
This module let you attach/download remote images to an image field.
Note: the user of this module could break copyright rules. So make sure you only acquire files from the right sites.
The module needs more features but it works for me:
- download images from wikipedia for further display.
- having a link to the image back to wikipedia.
- do proper validatation instead of generating errors when saving the node.
Create a content type with two cck fields:
- link field: name this field_remote_YOURNAME_link
- image field: name this field_remote_YOURNAME_image. Make it not required
The naming is essential. Field names must begin with field_remote_ (which is CCKs nature) and end with either _link or _image. The module checks for fieldnames ending with _link then tries to find a matching _image field. If so the links are used to download the images and validation errors occur while saving the node (sick).
Create a new node and fill in the link to an image ie http://upload.wikimedia.org/centralnotice/images/puzzle-piece.png
Submit the node and there the images is downloaded to your site ready for image cache, views, etc.
If you want this module get more features before I need them please chipin some bucks.
