Hey all,

I would like to be able to have a link to the original photo for viewing/downloading (high resolution photos) but I've been beating my head against the wall for a while now.

In looking at the available functions it would appear that getUnprotectedImageURL should return this however it is returning the same thing as getFullImageURL. Is this maybe a limitation of the theme I am using? I have seen mention of enabling a download link and drop-down plugins however neither of these seem to be implemented in the them itself.

`getFullImageURL()` returns either protected, unprotected or a so call download link (technically a call to avoid open the image in the browser directly). This is dependend on what option you have set on Options > Image > Full image protection on the backend.

Full image protection:
- Disable hotlinking - UNCHECKED
- cache the full image - UNCHECKED

password SPECIFIED AS I WAS MESSING AROUND TRYING TO MAKE THIS WORK

In my images.php template file I have the following (which prints the link and the URL changes depending on the function I call):

`Full Size Image`

Using `getFullImageURL()` I see the following with the various drop-down options:

As you can see - the various options don't seem to do anything for some reason...

Yes, because on `<?php getFullImageURL(); ?>` you are missing an `echo`. As the doc mentions the function only returns the url as a value but does not print it. On Zenphoto you most always have a pair of functions with `get` vs `print` in the name therefore. This one has no `print` equivalent though so you have to add the `echo` yourself. Therefore you now have an empty link `href` that resolves to the current page itself.

So it must be `<?php echo getFullImageURL(); ?>`. Even better is `<?php echo html_encode(getFullImageURL()); ?>`.

Thank-you! Somehow in all the threads I looked at related to the matter I either missed this being explained or it simply wasn't done.

Also thank-you for the heads-up about the html_encoded URL. With this I have easily been able to make the re-sized image into a link to the full sized original; more than adequate for my purposes.

Hopefully this thread will help others in the future as well.
