XF 2.2 Paste picture doesn't work?

[Bob de Bouwer]

Hi there,

On my old forum i had the abbility to paste a link in a comment or thread, and the forum showed the picture directly.
I didn't had to use attachement or the img bb-code, just paste the URL and done!

Is this also in Xenforo possible?

Thank you

Regards

Hello!

You can insert the image URL here:

Yes this works,

However i just want to paste the link in the editor and go.
This is how it worked on my old forum.

Thanks

Easiest way if you have the image already in another browser tab... copy/paste. That way you aren't at the mercy of someone changing it to something you may not want shown....
This was a simply using the copy function of the browser, then paste it here. No different than copy/pasting a URL, and now you aren't dependent upon that image existing in the future.



I know "back in the day" I had some folks linking to images on one of my sites and then "posting" it on theirs as their content. That quickly stopped when they ended up showing "poo eating" images instead of what they thought they were showing. When I found out, I simply changed the local image name to something different (and changed the content to reflect that) and left the image name they were linking to as their "poopy deserts".

That image I put in above was simply putting the cursor over the image, pulling up the context menu and selecting copy image


and then doing the same here and selecting paste.

Be sure you have your editor is in BBCode mode... if your editor menu looks like this (greyed out)... odds are that's the reason.




If it is greyed out, you can click on the light blue image shown (it may be a different color on your site, but the design is the same) to enable the normal editor.
