Suggestion: Allow relative urls on the image field

The images have the posibility to link somewhere, but is only allowing absolute urls.

Hello

links appear absolute, the path is relative

maybe you meant to ask for non-local URL path



-- is that what you ask ? a non-local URL paths for original images?



NOTE:
that non-local image, will be the thumbnail process to be a little slower, but then again
-- this is only done once
-- thumbnails are always locals so thumbnail size check will not have performance hit
-- the thumbnail size

Mmm that´s not a bad idea, but my point is much simpler


The image field have the option to link to a different url so when you click on the picture you are redirected. Now, it seems that the link provided is considered always absolute. I mean, a link to "/my-article", goes to "http://my-article" instead of " myjoomladomain.com/my-article "

Hello

so you meant relative URLs to be inside the HTML source

actually we can not do this due to compatibilities with Joomla SEF plugin and other 3rd party plugins

so the source path of original images and thumbnails is relative (you can move folder and change image field configuration or component parameters)

but the actual image URLs inside the HTML source will be absolute (=prepend CURRENT site URL + joomla subfolder), we will not change this

I think I have made something like this without problems. Maybe something on the lines of


How its going the migration to github? this could be the kind of little stuff we can better propose that way.

so the reason for this is when linking to URLs is enabled and a relative URL is entered
