Links to photos in others sites

[Cath]

Hello!!
My english is so bad...
Thank you for PixelPost :)
I 'd like to make the links of the photos of the day that I like on other sites ...

En Français:

Avec la photo que je poste, je souhaiterais mettre des liens vers les photos que j'ai aimé dans d'autres sites.
Je sais qu'il est possible de faire ces liens en utilisant le code html, mais je souhaiterais le faire à la façon de l'Addon "related picture"

J'espère que vous pourrez traduire ma question car il est plus facile pour moi de poster en Français.
Merci d'avance pour l'attention que vous porterez à ma demande

Cordialement

Cath

As my English is so bad, I will try to show you an example with this link (http://photoblog.graficat.info/index.php?showimage=177):

In the notes there is a image with a link to an other blog, I make the html code like this:

<h3>Vu sur la toile:</h3>
<a href="http://pascalimages.canalblog.com/archives/2007/03/19/4357405.html"> <img src="http://storage.canalblog.com/36/59/192667/11445064_p.jpg" alt="Chez Pascale" style="height: 90px; width: 90px;" /></a>
<a href="http://ricphotography.fr/index.php?showimage=93"> <img src="http://ricphotography.fr/images/20070318145102_longuevue.jpg" alt="Chez Ricochet" style="height: 90px; width: 90px;" /></a>
<a href="http://flickr.com/photos/alexandre-modesto/428572512/in/photostream/"> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/149/428572512_c3127309ee.jpg?v=0" alt="Chez Alex" style="height: 90px; width: 90px;" /></a>


1/ I resize th photo and not make a thumbnail, so the thumbnails are not at the good ratio
2/ with a addon it will be easy to make this...

Sorry for my bad English

I am not sure what you want to do.
Do you want to display other people images in your blog or do you want to get your own images displayed somewhere else?

Thanks for your answer,

I'd like to have the thumbs of the images in my page, and the links to this images in pages of other blogs (not mine).

it is not so easy to do that automatically, because a script must be run on your server called from "outside". There are security issues when doing that.
You could try the idea in the thread I linked above changing the images folder for the thumbnails folder and reading the filedate for displaying the latest one.

But I'm even not sure if a distant server has access to this information...

What that site is doing is simply hotlinking to the thumbnail images on various blogs. You could just add the link code right in the photo description, and create the same effect.

To keep the correct aspect ratio, you could simply use any of the available photo editing tools, and crop the photos to the desired ratio, then upload them to a photo sharing site. Such as Flickr, or ImageShack.

Please be cautious about this. I for one won't like the hotlinking because it increases my traffic.

On a related note/question...is it possible to show the latest images (say the last 5) thumbnails on the about page or any other page I create? I inserted the <IMAGE_THUMBNAIL_ROW> in the about page and nothing came up.

[austriaka]

No, unfortunately the image related tags are only available in image- and browse page by now

as schonhose already said. hotlinking pictures is not gentlemanlike (except with permission) =).
some blogs i know simply use text links for such purposes..
