How do I add a line so that folks can copy the url path to photos and paste them in say forums and so on.

Thanks

You mean not using BB code, but actual html code? (Most forums dont accept html code).

No I am not talking about BB Code Or HTML code, I am talking about when a user posts a photo, and view it, one of the photos description items would be the url of the photo so they could copy the url and then say go to a forum and use a tag

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

then post so it linked to that photo.

That's BB code you are quoting there. If you enable BBCode in the Admin Show Photo section, that URL code will be displayed so a user can copy it (for IE users there is a button to copy the code to the clipboard).

no, I am not talking about BB code, I am talking about when a user views the photo in Photopost I want it to display the url to the photo, forget about the forum stuff!

You quoted code which uses the img tag; so, I assumed you wanted the code you quoted. IMG tags do not link to a photo page, but display an image.

Users can copy the URL of the page they are on from their browser, can they not?

Sorry got it, I was hoping for a url, without the bb tags but that will work, I just wanted the url for the pics, not the tag part so users could copy and paste pictures for other reasons, loke other hosting pic sights.

Thanks

If you want, you can modify that link to use a different "style" or even have it as the link to the page.

In showphoto.php is a line like:

$showcode = "

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

";

You could change this to:

$showcode = "{$Globals['maindir']}/showphoto.php?photo=$photo";

and the link that would appear in that box (with bb code enabled), would be the link to the page itself.
