I have a question about the upload process from that takes place when a user uploads to my site and uses a URL as the location instead of uploading a file from their computer.
Right now, the URL just gets put into the database and the image loads from the remote folder each time it is called from my site. Also, no thumbnail is generated. Is it possible to make it so that when a user puts in the URL for an image, the server uses wget (or something) to download the image to the server and then make a thumbnail?
I've searched the forums for an answer to this problem but have not been able to find one yet. Could someone point me to a post that shows how to fix this or give me instructions in here?
Thanks so much for your help!
