Hi,

How is it possible to set the src of a image in a Image Gallery ou Carrousel from a Image service provider like Google Photos or flickr without downloading and storing the image on my own server? Also there is no extension on the Image provider and it is possible to scale the image from the provider by setting the needed size in the URL.

Thanks

Hello Geoffroy,

It is Google not allowing to use direct links to their images, Nicepage has this option as described in a screenshot.
Google has implemented measures to prevent direct linking to images hosted on their servers. This is done to control the usage and bandwidth of their resources. When you try to directly link to an image hosted on Google, they may display an error message or block the image from being displayed.

If you want to use images from Google on your personal website, you should consider the following alternatives:

Download and host the images on your own website: Save the images from Google and upload them to your website's server. This way, you have control over the images and can use them without relying on direct links.

Use the "Share" or "Embed" option provided by Google: Instead of directly linking to the image, look for the "Share" or "Embed" option in the Google service you are using (such as Google Photos or Google Drive). This will provide you with an HTML code or a shareable link that you can use to display the image on your website.

Use a third-party image hosting service: Upload your images to one of these platforms and then use the provided embed code or shareable links to display the images on your website.

Remember to always respect copyright laws and the terms of use of the images you intend to display on your website.

Hi Alan,

Is it possible to add the direct image link feature to the NicePage Image Dialog on the wishlist?
So we can easy fix the problem.
Otherwise I need to download all the images and upload them to our own server, this is not an option.

Thanks

Geoffroy,

You can use the direct link to a photo and use it in the Address field in the Image dialog.

Hi

If you try to see in the browser the Google photo URL below you will be able to see the image, but if you add the URL to the NicePage Image Dialog -> Address this will not work.
Or there is a restriction or there is a bug in the NicePage Image Dialog.

Example URL (This it is for all Google Photo URLs)
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/geougc/AF1QipNC-aw7c87gzmtl2otSXHP97nMUK_FFDfr5HSM5=h305-no

The same problem was already asked on the following URL, but was not fixed.

Thanks
