Cache images #12

Open markpasc opened 12 years ago

Currently images are hotlinked from the entered URLs. In addition to being rude, that lets the target site break the images.

When I entered Convore on the demo site, I used the image https://convore.com/media/images/convore-thumbnail.png . However now that Convore is replaced by Grove, that URL doesn't work, so Convore's picture is broken.

makerbase should cache images when makers and projects are saved, and display its copy until the maker or project is saved again (or longer, if the URL isn't changed and that seems okay).
