Embed codes linking to direct image

[mrneilypops]

I had this request from the BunsenLabs linux forum;
- Can "we" have bb/html (with or without) thumbs that would actually link to an image
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?pid=9429#p9429

Any chance of this feature in a future release?

Already exists in the selection of embed codes available for each image, as long as they're enabled by the chv admin.

I think what is needed is a direct BBCode link to the full size image as described in the bunsenlabs forum post.
I know there is a BBCode to the full size image within Chevereto but as per;
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?pid=9429#p9429
so a direct opening of the image as per;

or is there a setting I have missed to 'auto enable' this?

I believe that I removed those embed codes because I got plenty complaints against it. I could add them again but only as an optional feature.

Thanks for the info Rodolfo.
Might be nice to have as an option.

Looking at how twitter & imgur do embeds now.

<blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="hFICy17"><a href="//imgur.com/hFICy17">View post on imgur.com</a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Using javascript with real time counters and such.

I do like that embeded views count towards image views.

Actually you don't need JS to achieve that. A simple iframe will work but I don't know if that embed option is that popular or not. Embed for albums sound good to me but fancy html embed for single images? I don't think that is needed.

Also, allowing websites to do embed casting dynamic code (or any thing that triggers your database or anything in the backend) will consume several more server resources than a conventional <img>.
