   I am using a custom field to insert the url of an image and that is used as a post image. Is there a way to have the custom field template just insert the URL of the image from the media browser ?

   Or is there a way to strip the image code that is inserted from the media browser to just get the image URL?

   Thanks I would LOVE this.

   And thank you for your plugin... I am a happy donator.

   I solved this by using some regex in my template to detect if the output was a full image tag or just a url like so:

   if( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'images')):
   $images = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'images'); 
   
   foreach($images as $image):
   if(strpos($image, "<img") !== FALSE):
     preg_match('/src=[\"\']([^\"\']+)/i', $image, $matches);
     $imageurl = $matches[1];
   else:
     $imageurl = $image;
   endif;

   You can then use the imageurl variable wherever you need the source. This code will let someone just paste in the url or use the media library to insert a full image.
