Hello,

I'd like to know if there is a module like this: if user enters text with a url to an image, it will convert the url to a link, and replace the text (url itself) by a thumbnail of the link. This is useful for comments.

If not, I'll write one :) Or do you have any suggest?

Display remote image as thumbnail?

mmm....

It sounds a bit like the display formatters being worked on by the Media Styles module guys. Maybe take a look at http://drupal.org/project/styles and http://groups.drupal.org/node/35206 . But I guess that you would want yours to work like the core URL filter http://drupal.org/project/urlfilter , but not just displaying the link, but the thumbnail.

Embedded Inline Media Module

Embedded Inline Media creates a new filter/input format that will allow users to post a link to a video in the body of a node or comment, and have it automatically display the video instead. Currently only works with providers for the Embedded Video Field (Image and Audio soon enough, hopefully).

Check out progress at http://drupal.org/project/emfield

Yes, eminline.module does exactly that, thanks! I'll investigate and see if I'll implement the image support or write a 5 KB filter myself.
