I wonder if this still is a problem in v1.8. I know there was the
tightening up of restrictions regarding access to artefacts.

What sort of image urls are you adding to the description field?
Are they like this: http://mahara-testing/artefact/file/download.php?file=79

>From my initial test with 1.8 I can see the image in description if I am
the user who added it - but I can't see it if I am another user with
access to the page. This is because the description field is not
designed to have internal to Mahara artefacts like images added there.

Now that Mahara 1.8 has flexible layouts there is probably a greatly
reduced need for page descriptions to contain images (or even have
descriptions displayed on page at all) as you can have a multiple rows
of columns. So you can have a full width row for row one before getting
to the various other rows/columns.

What might be needed instead is to have the ability for an image or
textbox to have no header bar  on page view allowing them to mimic what
the description field does currently but in a better way.

Title:
  Image disappears from Page Description when page shared by Secret URL

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  - exact version of Mahara: 1.4.2 & 1.5 (demo.mahara.org)
  - operating system:  Windows for the 1.4.2 version (I think)
  - database: MySQL (I think)
  - Chrome 20, IE8 & 9, FireFox 13, Safari 5

  If an image is inserted into a Page Description (for example, as a
  decorative heading or title) and then that page is shared by Secret
  URL, the image disappears.

  Any other images, such as those inserted as an image block and those
  inserted inline within a text box, appear without issue.

  I have tested this in our installation of Mahara (1.4.2) and the
  demo.mahara.org version. The screen capture is taken from when I
  tested the demo.mahara.org version. In our version we get identical
  results, where the Page Description image disappears.

  Addendum: if the images are hosted externally, e.g. at Flickr, they
  actually do appear in the Page Description area! It might take a few
  seconds for the image to load, though.
