This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.

Notice: Twitpic recently changed their API, breaking the module. I have not yet had time to fix it, but patches from anyone are welcome.

This module allows Twitpic images to be displayed directly on a Drupal site, allowing Twitter and Twitpic to be used as a mobile engine for a photo-rich blog.

Twitpic allows images to be posted to Twitter, appearing as URLs in a Twitter feed. Pulling Twitter feeds into Drupal is a great way to get easy mobile micro-blogging, and some mobile Twitter apps include photo upload capability.

The problem is that the feed only shows URLs, not the images. The Twitpic API allows thumbnails to be displayed in a browser, but makes the full images available only as downloadable files. This module uses an Input Filter to intercept Twitpic URLs, download their originals to the Drupal filesystem, and display the images instead of the URLs to the end user.

TO USE THE MODULE, enable it and activate the 'Convert Twitpic URLs to Images' filter in your Input Formats, at admin/settings/filters on your Drupal backend.

The module also (optionally) integrates with ImageCache to format the final image with a 'preset'.

I am developing this module entirely on my own time, it is not affiliated in any way with Twitpic.com.

Update 2/22/10: Fixed all the known issues from earlier dev release (including conflict with core "HTML Filter," module should be more stable now (though still not guaranteed for production).
