Photos on another server

[codewarrior]

Hi there,
I would like to know how to do to store HiRes pictures on another server than the Joomla one.
The context is that I have a free hosting of 10 Gb on a domain, where I want to put my photos, and a professional paying hosting where I want to have my Joomla site with Phoca and thumnails.

Because my professional hosting has a limited storage, I want to put the big pictures elsewhere.

I know that there is a Picasa solution, but I want to keep my private pictures "private".
I know PHP and I'm ready to help to add this feature.
Thanks for help.

Hi, in Picasa you can protect images (with protected gallery or with hash links to the images)

So maybe you can do it on the same system as Picasa works - e.g. to load links to images which includes hash string.

Sorry, I haven't understood your answer...

would it be possible to replace the root part of the links (picasa...) by www.myserver.com/images/ ???

Can I do it in your code, if you do not want (or have time) to do it ???

Regards.

Hi, potentially, this is possible, but the problem is not using the external links to images, the problem is to make the all the behaviour to add the images to system (Picasa e.g. - the image links needs to be imported - get info from Picasa - with login, pagination must be used to not overflow the time, etc.) Such behavious takes a lot of time which I don't have
