Is it possible to use an external image link/path in an Toolset image field? Inserting an external path doesn't seem to work. Is there a workaround?

Thanks

Dear Dwyer,

The custom image field of Types plugin does support remote images, you just need to fill the value with image URL, and Types even support "resizing of remote images", you can enable it here:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Custom Content.

Enable option "Allow resizing of remote images", then you will be able to display the image with specific size parameters. see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#image
size:
custom image size | 'full' | 'large' | 'medium' | 'thumbnail'
width and height will be ignored if size is set.

Hi,

I have enabled remote image resize. We have migrated the content from old DRUPAL 6 site to WP and using latest version of toolset.

During the import, I create custom field for IMAGE and used the URL same as remote site URL like hidden link

WP is showing the image correctly and even in wp-admin, it shows the URL from remote site and thumbnail loaded is from OLD Site (original image). when I try to save the post within wordpress, it gives me error "Please enter a valid URL address pointing to the image file."

Regards,
