Save images from web sites onto your own web server. Requires PHP.
Save to Website
======================================
###### by Rob "Fuzzwah" Crouch
### Overview
An extension for Google Chrome which adds a "save to website" option
to the menu when you right click on images on web pages.
### Requirements
Along with this extension you'll also need your own webserver and
enough nerd points to be able to save and configure a php script
that this extension interfaces with. Its super simple, but you'd
better know where your web accessible paths are.
### Installation
Firstly, create a world writable directory on your webserver
(ie: chmod 777 it). Create subfolders below this if you want to
enable saving into a few different groups.
You will need to save a copy of, and configure, the
Save-to-Website.php file to somewhere world readable on your
webserver. In the php file you'll find 3 variables which need to be
configured:
// the full URL to the storage folder.
$externalURL = "http://yoursite.com/path/to/images";;
// the relative path to storage folder compared to the php file
$internalPath = "";
// set a password here and then configure this in the extension
$password = "";
You can either grab the files from here on github, or use this link
and install it from [the Chrome Store](http://bit.ly/18MejN5). Using
the Chrome Store is recommended as the extension will then be auto
updated if/when I make changes.
### Credits and Props
This extension is a stripped down hack of antimatter15's

Props to the crazy88 for putting up with my testing.
Thanks to lexpex for pointing out that this old extension wasn't
working any more.
