========================
ABOUT
------------------------
Imagecache External is a utility module that allows you to store external
images on your server and apply your own imagecache (D6) / Image Styles (D7).

========================
CONFIGURATION
------------------------
To get the module to work, you need to visit
admin/config/media/imagecache_external and either:

 - Add some domains to the whitelist -or-
 - De-activate whitelist functionality


========================
 USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
------------------------
 In your module or theme, you may call the following theme function to
 process an image via Imagecache External:

 <?php
  print theme('imagecache_external', array(
    'path' => 'https://drupal.org/files/druplicon.large_.png',
    'style_name'=> 'thumbnail',
    'alt' => 'Druplicon'
  ));

or, in a render array, like this:

<?php
  return array(
    '#theme' => 'imagecache_external',
    '#path' => 'https://drupal.org/files/druplicon.large_.png',
    '#style_name' => 'thumbnail',
    '#alt' => 'Druplicon',
  );
?>

You can also use external images without coding at all by adding an Text or
Link field to a Node Type and then use the Imagecache External Image formatter.
