module TextformatterImgDataUri - Embed small images as data URLs

[BitPoet]

Here's a small module I wrote a few years ago and was asked to share in the module repo.

TextformatterImgDataUri

This Textformatter checks all images in the field's markup for images under a certain size and converts those from links to data URLs, i.e. it embeds the image data itself. This can be handy when you cache whole pages and want to cut down on the number of requests.

Hey, @BitPoet I'm excited about this module (and I really need it!). I appreciate your help in advance.

I might be stupid as a rock, but at least I'm consistent. I have tried on Windows and Linux (in both cases, php_fileinfo.dll is on). I placed it in the image field, like in the screenshot, but nothing happened. I've cleared the cache, etc. The debug mode is ON, and no error is logged.

Hi @Leftfield, I'm not sure what the reason could be, so I've added logging to the dev branch of the module. You can download it here. With debug mode on, it logs to "imgdatauri".

@BitPoetthanks for helping me out!!! All I can get is (normal). Just pasting part of the code:

Ah,  sorry, I missed a hint in your screenshot. The module won't do anything applied to the file descriptions. You need to add the Textformatter to the textarea field that uses the images.

Oh man, and I've put it in the field description :D. I was born just a few hundred kilometers from the Tesla's house. It seems like I am Jang for his Jing.
