Add images from external link #1054

Closed RedDragon9 closed 2 years ago

RedDragon9 commented 4 years ago

I would like to request a feature to be added. It would be nice to be able to add images from external links beside uploading images and the ones in the gallery. This is something that other website builders already have, being able to add a image from another website.

Nice! And easy to do

Also at publication the image will be downloaded to be always available on the final site

But what if one day it is not available anymore online? Then when the user would open the site in Silex, the image would be missing :-/

I'll add this to the road map now in any case

Well I mean the website you build would have a link to the image so when someone goes to your website, the browser loads the image from the external website. This is a feature that other website builders have. Yes the image may not always be there but this is something I need for a website I'm building as the images on the external website change every day which is why I can't just download the images.

Oh ok I see In the meantime you still can do this with an html box or probably better with CSS as a background image Let me know if you need more info about this
