Hi,

Get data from an external database. but the image doesn't show. I've put URLs already.

Thanks for your help and advises.

Articles Anywhere will grab the content as is from the other database.
This includes the urls/paths to images.

Probably the URLs to those images are relative to the website they come from.
For instance, if your other database contains:
<img src="/images/apples.jpg" ...>
Then that will stay the same on the website where you are using Articles Anywhere.

That means you need to also have those images on that website.

Or you need to replace the URL parts with that of the other website.
You could for instance replace:
src="images/
With:
src="https://your-other-website.com/images/

So you can do:
[text replace="src=\"images/=>src=\"https://your-other-website.com/images/"]
PS: Seeing there is a quote in that text, you need to escape it in the attribute.

That depends on what you are trying to achieve. Do you want to link to the other website? And is the image only on the other website?

Can you give more information about your setup?

Thanks for fast support.

That depends on what the href urls look like in the database.
You are now for some reason searching for:
href="a/

What URLs look like in the database is usually different to what you see in the final HTML output, as Joomla changes/fixes URLs in the last stages of rendering the page.

You could also manually make links with:
<a href="http://mydomain/nksitham/[url]" class="whatever">Read more...</a>
