Add Block, Image

Help

I am trying to add an image to my dashboard. I tried imgur and drop box. I get “An error occurred.” That’s it. What hosting site do I need to use? Thanks.

Hi @RICHARD_SCAFUTO,

Welcome to the Losant Forums :slight_smile:

  1. Which block are you trying to use?

  2. Can you send a screenshot of the error?

I am using the Image block for https://www.dropbox.com/s/vojh192mc1g4caa/chickenhouse.jpg
In the preview windows it shows “An error has occured” and “Invalid image”. I cannot add the block.

Dropbox links don’t go to the raw image itself, they go to a webpage with the image as an element somewhere in the page. To get a link that goes directly to the image, you can change the URL slightly to this:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/vojh192mc1g4caa/chickenhouse.jpg

That Worked! Thanks.
