Hello!

My webspace is full, and I'm looking for an alternative for uploading pictures. Is there a way that we can upload 'no physical' pictures from an external url? That means: you see the picture on gallery, but actually they stay on another place.

Thanks!

I'm not sure this is really possible. I think G3 really needs to have the image locally. I doubt that it was developed to cater for otherwise.

I guess you want, "Your photos from some other website". Sorry, couldn't resist.

These pictures stay on Picasa, facebook (pictures of mine)
Visitors must see these pictures on my website, and not on facebook, picasa,...

That's wy I looking for a system, where you can upload the url of a picture (not the fysic picture), from fb or picasa.

The feature you want is not avalable in G3. You could use G2 and the link item plugin.
There is a similar module for G3 'item iframe' but it will not do what your after.

The screen shot is from G2 so I'm assuming that you are using G2 now.

Should work.
if you are using external webpages then the khtml2png plugin is what your after to get sceen shots of the external url for the thumb.

I use G2 because you can "upload" pictures, when it is actually an extern url picture (for webspace).
I installed the thumbnail modules, but the problem is still there: I see no picture, only a standard tumbnail. I want a picture tumbnail from my upload.

What do I wrong?

Please take to the appropriate G2 forum
