Hotlink and URL Product Images

IS anybody using this:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3299,

 

Hotlink and URL Product Images

 

This seems to be the only answer that people give in the forums for hotlinking images. I installed and it doesn't seem to be working correctly. I believe problem is that the way the contribution is trying to work, it is suppossed to use:

 

define('DIR_EXT_HTTP', 'http://');

 

in Configure, and then calling up:

 

tep_image(DIR_EXT_HTTP

 

instead of

 

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES

 

in product_info.php and other places. The products_image should now be changed to "www.mysite.com/images/my_image.gif", or if hosting on another server "www.othersite.com/images/my_other_image.gif"

 

Seems like it might work, but it doesn't. I believe what is actually happening is that the products image link is now being returned as:

 

"http://www.mysite.com/images/my_image.gif"'>http://www.mysite.com/http://www.mysite.com/images/my_image.gif"

 

which is obviously, wrong. I think this is happening because if i change:

 

define('DIR_EXT_HTTP', 'http://');

 

to

 

define('DIR_EXT_HTTP', 'images/');

 

and leave the : tep_image(DIR_EXT_HTTP where its pulling the product image, it works fine, pulling up :

 

"http://www.mysite.com/images/my_image.gif"

 

SO the question is, how can I write a required configure line where it doesn't automatically place the field it's pulling AFTER the defined "http://www.mysite.com" ?

 

(And no I' m not linking to images unless I have specific written permission from associate vendors whose products I am selling that happen to have their images also hosted for their site)

It appears to be a conflict with the Image thumbnailer contribution which alters the tep_image in HTML_output.php.

 

I'll update this if I fix it and hopefully it help some one searching through the forums for a similar answer.
