Imagecache External

About Imagecache External is a utility module that allows you to store external images on your server and apply your own Image Styles.

Configuration Important: to use the module you need to visit admin/config/media/imagecache_external and either:


* Add some domains to the whitelist -or-
* De-activate whitelist functionality

Usage instructions (for Drupal 8) Render array
<?php return array( '#theme' => 'imagecache_external', '#uri' => 'https://www.drupal.org/files/druplicon.png', '#style_name' => 'thumbnail', '#alt' => 'Druplicon', ); ?>Twig extension (from 3.0.1)
{{ 'https://my.web.site/my-image.jpg'|imagecache_external('thumbnail') }}

Theme function
<?php print theme('imagecache_external', array( 'uri' => 'https://www.drupal.org/files/druplicon.png', 'style_name'=> 'thumbnail', 'alt' => 'Druplicon', )); ?> For Drupal 7 the instructions are the same, except you need to use the path instead of the uri parameter.

You can also use external images without coding at all by adding a Text or Link field to a Node Type and then use the Imagecache External Image formatter.

Other notes
* Images are stored in the site's files folder in an external subdirectory.
* Files can optionally be stored in subdirectories since 3.0.1
* You may flush the fetched external images (note that this does not flush the generated imagecache files before 3.0.1) by visiting admin/config/media/imagecache_external/flush
