Show an image but link to something else?

I’m looking for a way to show an image, but link to something different like a video.

I can’t seem to make this work with typical BB forum code, markdown or HTML.

Reason for this might be something that’s not supported in one box, or maybe I just want to take more control over what is displayed and linked to… for instance just making the image much smaller or different.

EDIT: aww snap, I got it… nested markdown
[![](image_url)](target_url)

This is also supported through the UI. In the editor…

  1. Click/tap image upload icon

  2. Click/tap “from the web”

  3. Click/tap “show more”

  4. Enter URL for image. Enter URL for link.

Done:

Oh nice! In the 1000’s of posts I’ve made on discourse I’ve never used that uploader more than a couple times. The automagic One Box thing has always just worked for me so I never bothered to upload. Most of the images I include are fast screenshots that I annotate and automatically upload to imgur.com, which I just paste the link in the post thereafter.

Did you know that if you have an image in your clipboard you can just paste it into the editor? Yeah, an image, not a link to an image.

We’re in the future, man.

That’s way cool too. One thing I like about imgur.com is I upload to my own account, so all of my images are saved online whenever I need them. Regardless of where it comes from, I know discourse always makes a copy of it to keep forever (preventing broken image links in the future). :heart: :heart: :heart_eyes_cat: :love_hotel: :love_letter: :hearts: :blue_heart: :purple_heart: :green_heart: :heartpulse: :heart_decoration: :yellow_heart: :four_leaf_clover:

¿Sigue disponible esta función? Cuando hago clic en el icono del cargador, se abre directamente la ventana de archivos local en lugar de ofrecerme la opción de agregar una imagen desde la web. Aunque es posible agregar imágenes usando la sintaxis markdown anidada mencionada por el OP, sería agradable tener el icono de recuento de clics, como el que aparece junto al ejemplo de Google.

¡Gracias!

¡Ah, gracias por sacar a relucir este tema! Tienes razón, ahora omitimos el paso “desde la web” porque casi nunca se utilizaba. Este es un cambio reciente en Discourse para simplificar el proceso de agregar imágenes a las publicaciones.

En cuanto a los contadores de clics, seguirás obteniendo uno en cualquier enlace a una fuente externa.
