External images in articles

Post by MRBFGO » Wed Nov 18, 2015 3:51 pm

I know how to insert images in an article from my joomla media folders.

I don't want to post a link to an external image, I wan't to display the actual image in my article so is there a way that I can do this please, other than to save that image in my joomla media files.

Many Thanks

You can just have something like:

Code: Select all

<img src="[URL to the remote image">
The above should work, unless the website where the actual image resides prevents hotlinking.
