ImageShack hosting via blog

  • Considering I’ve explained this a few times (elsewhere) and failed, going to be really to the point this time:

    What I want to do:
    WP Blog
    Images (buttons/etc), that are made by the Blog authors for users benefit will be posted within posts/pages

    The desired result:
    To off load the bandwidth requirements to ImageShack (their API that might do this)

    How to go about it:
    From lucazappa’s button page, he’s managed to write the code such that, when an image is rendered, it can be uploaded to ImageShack directly, without the user having to download/re-upload it.

    From talking with Viper007Bond, he has the idea that a plugin would do this best:

    <Viper007Bond> probably the easiest way to do it is write a plugin that on post, search the post contents for images
    <Viper007Bond> if image, use api to upload to imageshack
    <Viper007Bond> process returned data from imageshack (i.e. url), save it to the post’s meta data
    <Viper007Bond> then on display of post, grab meta data, output it saying like “if you wish to link to this image, use this url: xxx”

    The issue here is, I can’t code for my life. I was looking for a plugin (seeing as pretty much everything I’ve ever thought of has been written already) was there for this, but no luck so far, any ideas?
