unlike most it seems, i want to allow hotlinking and even provide a textarea box underneath the image with the full address of the image enclosed in [img] tags to encourage this.

what function should i be using to call the full direct url of the image?

thanks

(cracking bit of software by the way)

`getUnprotectedImageURL()`. This and all our functions are described in the function guide on the Zenphoto web pages.

must have missed it in the guide, i did look. thanks a lot

now working on my test site
