Externally hosted images

[Cyron]

Ok, sorry if this has already been answered, but for the life of me I could not find the search function.

In any case, what I'm curious about, is if I can use this software with externally hosted images? I have a flickr pro account, and I use it to host my images, rather than my rather pathetic hosting setup. So, the question is, is there a way to make it work on my site, but pointing to images hosted by flickr?

Thanks,

Ray

No, in no case

the complete thing is written in that way that it administrates its own images in the folder /images and the relating thumbnails in the respective thumbnail folder

when uploading the images they are processed, copied and moved, data is written into the database etc. and for this you need to be on your own server, what you think of seems to me like a linklist, with references to images from other servers...

and that is not PixelPost :lol:

Well not quite a linklist. The images are mine, and I would simply like a way to be able to add some sort of photoblog element to my site, without requiring me to upload images to two unique servers.

I want the full functionality of a photoblog, showing EXIF data, allowing comments etc, so it's a little more than a linklist

But thanks for your answer. My search continues

hosting is cheap...

http://www.eleven2.com

$6.99 for 1GB of storage...there is probably hosts much cheaper out there, but ive grown fond of e2 in my search for good hosting over the years.

u can use www.flickr.com + blogger.com. First version of my photoblog was with blogger.com (blogspot.com) and images were uploaded on flickr server. But I was not satisfied at all.

Nothing's like PixelPost!
