Image Host Grabber

[LadyLuck]

The host file thing is just getting so difficult to keep up with. Some of these picture hosts seem to be set up not as a means to share pictures but simply as a means of generating ad revenue and spreading malware. I saw a host called ******* that is becoming popular on another forum site. Of course, being new there is no entry in the current IHG host file. Clicking on the individual pictures sets of Malware Bytes big time. Bulk Image Downloader stumbles on it, too. I'll have to admit that my skill set regarding modifying host files manually is little more than cutting and pasting from other hot file entries and hoping for the best, which did work for a while but not much anymore.

Hosts don't do it for free/our convenience. It costs money to host (hard-/soft-ware, electricity, etc.) so they need to generate revenue in some form.

Are you asking for help with that host? I can't promise anything but could perhaps take a look, except that you haven't posted/linked any examples, so...

The other, possibly better option is to post a request for a new host on the IHG website. Several of the folks there are far more skilled than me. But a request there would similarly require some examples to examine/test--actually, they have a whole stack of required info. which one enters via a form.

This isn't working for me, even with the correct version of IHG. I am copying and pasting direct from the thread on VG. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

*EDIT* OK seems to be working now that have separated ******* and img,yt into two different hosts with the same search pattern.

I checked my host file editor, and my hostfile (the latest one) doesn't have pixhost.to. Instead, it has pixhost.org. It is as follows:

Host label: pixhost.org
URL pattern: ^https?:\/\/([^/]+\.)?pixhost\.org\/show\/.+$

Search pattern:

function(pageData, pageUrl) {
	var retVal = {imgUrl: null, fileName: null, status: "ABORT"};
	// Search for <img ... id="image" ... />
	var iTag = (pageData.match(/<img\b[^>]*?\bid\s*=\s*('|")image\1[^>]*?>/i)||[])[0];
	if (iTag) {
		var iUrl = (iTag.match(/\bsrc\s*=\s*('|")(.*?)\1/i)||[])[2];
		if (iUrl) {
			retVal.imgUrl = iUrl;
			retVal.status = "OK";
			// Get original filename from url
			var iName = (iUrl.match(/\/([^/]*)$/)||[])[1]; // get part after last slash
			iName = iName.replace(/^\d*_/, ""); // remove leading digits
			if (iName) {  // exists and is not empty
				retVal.fileName = iName;
			}
		}
	}
	return retVal;
}

Seeing that this is the case, do I need to edit this host at all? And if so, is the change that you mentioned (which I quoted below) still working correctly? Also, would it be better for me to have pixhost.to and pixhost.org together in one entry like you did, or should I just leave the existing pixhost.org entry as-is and create a new (identical except for including .to instead of .org) entry for pixhost.to?

Host label: pixhost
URL Pattern: ^https?:\/\/([^/]+\.)?pixhost\.(org|to)\/show\/.+$
Search Pattern:

function(pageData, pageUrl) {
	var retVal = {imgUrl: null, fileName: null, status: "ABORT"};
	// Search for <img ... id="image" ... />
	var iTag = (pageData.match(/<img\b[^>]*?\bid\s*=\s*('|")image\1[^>]*?>/i)||[])[0];
	if (iTag) {
		var iUrl = (iTag.match(/\bsrc\s*=\s*('|")(.*?)\1/i)||[])[2];
		if (iUrl) {
			retVal.imgUrl = iUrl;
			retVal.status = "OK";
			// Get original filename from url
			var iName = (iUrl.match(/\/([^/]*)$/)||[])[1]; // get part after last slash
			iName = iName.replace(/^\d*_/, ""); // remove leading digits
			if (iName) {  // exists and is not empty
				retVal.fileName = iName;
			}
		}
	}
	return retVal;
}

all i did was edit the org in the URL Pattern to to

like this:

before:
URL Pattern: ^https?:\/\/([^/]+\.)?pixhost\.(org|to)\/show\/.+$

after:

URL Pattern: ^https?:\/\/([^/]+\.)?pixhost\.to\/show\/.+$

But what if some links still have the .org address? Isn't it safer to have the option to download both?
