Comment #2
jrglasgow commentedThis patch uses hook_preprocess_image_widget() and imagecache_external_preprocess_image_formatter() to check the image url and if the scheme is http or https it changes the #theme to imagecache_external whcih causes the image to be properly rendered (assuming the domain is in the whitelist.)
Comment #4
jrglasgow commentedan update to the patch for if there is no url set yet

swentel commentedI think the problem is the 'itok' query at the end because I'm seeing this problem surface on a site here as well, so will dig in a but further to see what happens.
Comment #6
jrglasgow commentedI recently ran into an error with the image formatter being hijacked where there is no image style... this occurs when the content display for the image field is set to show "original" so no image style is there to be applied.
