Auto display images when images die

[Mike]

In VB 3.8 I had a small plugin that showed an image when the link to the original image was no longer present. This was very helpful in posts that almost only showed images.

Maybe this is also possible for VB 6?

This was the code:

if(THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread' || THIS_SCRIPT=='showpost')
$this->post['message']=str_replace('<img ','<img onerror="this.src=\'https://www.elvisnachrichten.de/nopic.gif\';" ',$this->post['message']);​ 

Describtion:

When images die in post, this plugin will display your custom images
Go to Admincp > Plugins & Products > Add New Plugin or go to yourdomain/admincp/plugin.php?do=add
Hook Location: Choose postbit_display_complete
Title: Auto display images when images die

You can also do this using Replacement Variable Manager in AdminCP > Styles.

Search for Text​: <img
Replace with Text: <img onerror="this.src='/images/nopic.gif'; this.onerror=null;"

But the replacement applies to all images and not just inside posts. Missing images would happen mostly inside posts anyway.

Btw, the this.onerror=null is important to prevent endless loop in case the replacement image happens to be not available or accessible for whatever reason.

Great! It works for all pictures within the img tag!

Thank you very much!
