Hi

First i want to say thanks for this great module !

I need to implement an external image provider (images will never be stored in our server but will be called from external url provided by an external service).

I wonder if i can use the image scald atom type or if i have to create a new scald atom type.

Is it possible to render an image scald atom type without use drupal public or private file (maybe using player instead of transcoder ?)

Thanks for your answer

Regards

Tim

Actually there is no generic remote image provider, but you can look at Scald Flickr or Scald Instagram to write (and contribute!) your own. You don't have to create a new atom type (the whole idea is any image is an image).

You can also use it with modules like remote stream wrapper, then resize the images.

Hi Jcisio and thanks for response

I will have a look on https://drupal.org/project/remote_stream_wrapper

For now, module is very specific for one client, but maybe, if my compagny give me time, we may develop a generic one

Cheers

Tim
