Hello. Where can I find the url for an image on any given page? For outside site linking purposes. Thanks

Depending on your browser, you should be able to right click and select "Copy Image Location" or "View Image" (you'd copy it from the address bar).

Generally you'd only want to do that with your own images from your own site. Embedding images hosted on someone else's server without permission is bandwidth theft, if not copyright violation. If you're just posting it as a link, it's best to link to the page showing the image instead of the image itself.

On my main business site, totally unrelated to CP, I have the server configured to serve a small ad image instead of any image file being displayed on any unauthorized site, just to combat such abuses.

Of course when it comes to CP images such hot linking is not only allowed but encouraged. CP prefers the hotlink because it is current.

Hey thanks for the help. With some of the images, there is only a url that says "spacer" in it and it doesn't show up when you use the url to link, others that have the marketplace code in their url don't show up either. Is there a fool proof way ro get the image link EVERY time? Thanks.

Select a source that does not use the clear gif - it is there to prevent copying the image.

Usually if you are getting the URL from your own shop when you are logged in then it won't be covered by the clear gif.
