Thread:Project:Support desk/Accessing Images within content

I have a wiki installed on a godaddy.com linux server as follows:

Product	Version MediaWiki	1.21.1 PHP	5.3.24 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL	5.0.96-log

I'm building a wiki but would like to render images within the content. I've read about editing the php files and but I do not have access to the .php files indicated and godaddy support cannot assist in tweaking the site to allow for uploads.

I'm OK with not allowing uploads since I can just FTP them to the wikidir/uploads. The problem is I cannot access any of the images I have FTP'd. I also would like to render images within the content of my wiki even though the images exists on another server.

For example :https://www.google.com/images/google_favicon_128.png

I would like to just show the G.. not a hyperlink to it.

I would give you the link to examine but right now it's filled with information about my family tree including birthdates and hometown, etc. It's protected with .htaccess and I would not want to make that public.

Is there a way to render images not on the same server as the wiki?

Is there a way to access the images within the /uploads directory even though uploads are not activated?

Thanks! I have been struggling with this for a few days
