[phpslash-users] cacheing images in stories

[Austin T. <aus...@ho...>]

Hey *,

This is just an idea I had while jogging this morning listening to the
radio. Could we possible search through an article/story for remote imgs and
cache them like we do blocks? Some of my authors consistently link outside
images (Its not a good practice, but I haven't found an elegant way around
it yet). This would probably involve a pcre on the intro and body perhaps on
preview and retreive the image, then dump the img into a special block type
cache and replace the existing <img> with a new source i.e. <img
src=cached.php3?img=3425> kinda like PHPAds serves their banners from the
db.

Would anyone else think I should spend time developing this?

I also have a new blocktype for a quote database, viewable at

something like MLP on Kuro5hin would be nice too.. block of links for a
topic; rate-able and commentable.
