OK, is there anything else in between the <img and the src=” tags? I found that the regex being used looked specifically for <img src=”blah.jpg”> and if you had something like <img data-whatever=”this” src=”blah.jpg”> it wouldn’t recognize it. I was playing around with the code (I uploaded my modified plugin in another of the support posts here) but never finished tweaking it to only get the src tags and ignore any other data attributes. I’ll see if I can revisit it when I have time 🙂

When I went to import from a few squarespace sites, they had this at the end of the src tag:

?format=original

Which threw off the whole file extension testing in the function “is_external_file”. The plugin should (and does) import png files without issue – it was the rest of the src tag that was the problem. What else do you see in your src tags? Basically the entire <img src=””> not just the filename with extension.

Here you go zamolkses, I just modified it to work with GoDaddy as well, but kept all of the squarespace code in there. Try this out.

I did have a lot of tweaking to do to get it to work with squarespace – namely, looking for the differences in img extensions that they use. One of the big ones was adding this to the external_img_sideload function:

if (($file_array[‘name’]) == “” && $ext2 == “?format=original”) {
$file_array[‘name’] = “import.jpg”;
}
And adding this to external_img_get_img_tags :

//check for squarespace images
if ( $uri != ” && preg_match( ‘/^http:\/\//’ , $uri ) ) {
//make sure it’s external
if ( $s != substr( $uri , 0 , strlen( $s ) ) && ( !isset( $mapped ) || $mapped != substr( $uri , 0 , strlen( $mapped ) ) ) ) {
$ext = substr( $uri , -16 );
if ($ext == “?format=original”)
$result[] = $uri;
}
}

and finally changing is_external_file function like this:

if ( in_array( strtolower($ext) , $allowed ) || $ext2 == “?format=original”)
return true;

I have a download for a modified version of this plugin that I tested on squarespace here: http://codingconcepts.net/importexternal.zip but I haven’t looked at it since I modified it… so no guarantees!
