Link to an image on google docs

[vauriac]

Hi,

I want to make MaxBulk send e-mails faster and prevent firewalls rejecting my e-mails because of attachments.

I have imported an image on google docs

So I put a link in my message :
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0IETE ... bVMtTWxpUQ

Problem : the recipient needs to click on the link to view the image

How to do to allow the recipient seeing the image without clicking on the link ??

many thanks

vincent

You can embed online pictures into Styled text with the following code:

<img src="PICTURE_URL_HERE">

Example:

<img src="http://www.maxprog.com/pictures/box_eMailVerifier.gif">

or in case you want also a link to a page:

<a href="URL_HERE"><img src="PICTURE_URL_HERE" border="0"></a>

Example:

<a href="http://www.maxprog.com"><img src="http://www.maxprog.com/pictures/box_iCash_v2.jpg" border="0"></a>

Hi Stanbusk,

Many thanks for the reply.

In fact to work you need to modify the http link given by cyberduck :
http://www.axylia.com/Save%20The%20Date ... 202012.jpg
instead of :
http://ftp.axylia.com/Save%20The%20Date ... 202012.jpg
(so substituting ftp with www)

It still doesn't work with the link given by googledocs
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0IETE ... bVMtTWxpUQ

sure something has to be modified too but I don't know what ??...

Regards

That link will never work because it is not the URL of a picture but the URL of an HTML page.

Google Docs is an online document creation and storage service provided by Google. Much like Microsoft Office, Google Docs uses a similar interface across all of its different document types. This shared interface makes it easy to perform common tasks, such as adding hyperlinks to a document. Virtually any clickable object, including text, shapes and images, in a Google Docs presentation can be turned into a hyperlink. Each link can open a new web page, compose an email to a specific address or link directly to another slide within the presentation.

Its impossible to hyperlink an image. Maybe one day this will be possible but not at present day.

I think google docs doesn't allow hotlinking. If you really need hotlinking, you can use any image hosting sites like imageshack. You can try uploading to dropbox too. I hope Google will implement the hot linking feature soon enough.
