Enableing the url field in picture uploads - php

In WordPress, if you upload a Picture in your Media-Library there is a URL field that is grey. I need an option to make it accessable. I want to embed a always changing picture from a third party website in the Team area to keep the pictures up to date without uploading them by myself every day.
Is there a solution, such as a easy way to search for the URL with phpmyadmin or something and change it there?

How to display image preview without downloading from given url using PHP?

So I'm working on a project to fetch images from fashion websites. Now I'm implementing the add item function in the website. In this function, user needs to input website url first, then the web scraper will scrape the target images' url and pass the urls to the curl to download the image. Finally the add item popup window will preview the images I fetched in the previous step and ask the user to fill out some basic information for the items. Everything works fine except that the curl will take a very long time to download the images (cuz the images from those fashion website are often very high-quality). So I'm wondering is there a way I can create a preview without actually downloading the full-size images and do the download when the user fill out basic information later. Thanks!
If the fashion website has smaller versions of the images, you should download those first. You can use them for your preview.
If the fashion website only has the full size image, there is no way to download a smaller version of it.
You probably know what your doing, but remember that you should respect the copyright of images on websites, especially art websites such as fashion websites. Be careful with what you do with them.

How to make an image selector to choose an image from the server to use in HTML form

I have built a blog system where each entry has an associated image file. I have created a php upload for this system and can get everything onto the server. When I write each blog post I have a row in my database which stores the filename of the image, so I could, if I knew the filename already, just type it in.
What I want to do is on my blog post form, instead of being able to type the file name, I want a button to click on which opens a window with all my images in it, then I can click on one and have that filename sent back to the form.
I suppose I could use AJAX to do this but it seems over complicated. Does anyone know of a good way to achieve this.

Drupal Image as image with link to a node

OK
I've actually spent 3 hours searching for how should I get images correctly on my drupal site so please don't get annoyed with this easy question. (sob...)
I want to upload an image to my front page as a button for redirecting to login page.
How CAN I achieve this?????I mean how should I store image as in Drupal and how can I get it in the position I want on the page???
I tried creating a content type called image and then created a View of block type but it doesn't seems correct to me.
What is the correct set of steps for storing and handling images in drupal??
Thanks
Create a block in your Drupal site and assign it to a region in the front page. Added the Image via PHP code there.

How do I show a link once a file is uploaded

I had trouble finding an answer for this problem. I would like to display a link to a page that has a video file on it but I don't want the link to appear until after the video file is uploaded.
It's a site where users upload videos so I don't want to have to manually put the links there for them after they upload their videos, nor do I want to make the links ahead of time since users will click them and there will be no video available.
So, is there a way to keep a link hidden until a file is uploaded. Once the file is uploaded the php page where the link will be on checks to see if it exists and then if it does the link is shown, otherwise the link stays hidden.
Each time the form that the client uses to upload a file is sent store the information of the file in a database.
Each time the client request the list of videos, query the database and build the web page based on the results.
Make sure to associate the uploaded files to the users, so you don't mix the up. Are you managing authentication already?
If you want to have the links appear as soon as the upload is finished without reloading the page, then you need ajax.

Automated image update with page statistics

Frankly I am not sure where this would go but I assume the way to create what I'm about to describe is PHP... so I'm sorry if it's in the wrong section.
Basically I have a website, using Wordpress, where users can review websites and post a 5 star rating of the site. Each reviewed website has it's own dedicated page.
So what I want to do is create an image from the statistics of the ratings to allow the website owners to place it on their page. The image will need to, when clicked, go to that it's review page.
So the image would be about 150x150. Have the overall 5 Star Rating, the Name of the Reviewed site and the name of my website. It would also be cool if there was some automatically generated HTML embedding code so the site owners can simply copy and paste it.
I hope I explained myself ok. I've tried searching google but I'm not entirely sure what to search for and therefore have found nothing useful.
Thanks.
EDIT
I can create the embed code manually. I just need to really know about how to make the picture update automatically.
Hey what you are asking for is quite complex and it would be to easy to just give you code. So here is some reading for you. Your problem is quite meaty and no doubt you'll learn loads sorting it out....

to make the picture update
automatically.
Just put URL to your php-script, which will generate image.
You will need function imagettftext to write text over the image, imagecopy to draw the stars (of votes).
Also, you will need image of a star and background.
So, approx. algorithm will be:
1. Open the background image by imagecreatefrompng - it will be our generated image
2. Open the Star image
3. Write title of the reviewed site by imagetttftext
4. Draw stars by copying existing Star image to our background image (by imagecopy)
5. Print generated image by imagepng
