what is the best way to link to an image
Standard member
I've searched for a possible answer but can't seem to find one.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit: nevermind
I just discovered that if you go to edit an image you will see the URL within the Image setting. You can use that URL inside of an "img" or "thumb" tag to display the image. Pretty straight-forward really…but I was having a difficult time trying to find a valid reference to the image. All figured out now 
Hope this helps someone else who may be experiencing the same challenge.

In my mind the best way is to upload to the File/Media Library first, then add to the gallery referencing that, and add to the other content referencing that also.
That way the image file is an independent content entity in it's own right and you aren't creating a cross-dependency.
That said that is all probably unnecessary hassle for most people.

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
