[SOLVED]No images in news articles

[dado]

Hi,
I am having troubles with CMSms on my local host.
I can insert image into an news article, but when I try to view the article on the website there is no image, only white space with same dimensions as the image, but no image.

In the Page Source, I can see the valid img tag with the correct image link: uploads/images/logo.gif.
I also checked which image types are allowed to be uploaded in the options of the news module, and everything is fine.

I have no problems viewing images on Pages (Home, About, Services etc.), just in news articles.

Post link to your site and News template (the one you do not see images).

Here you might find some useful info on CMSms debugging http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ode.2Fsite

I can't post a link, the site is on my local computer.
I noticed that this happens only in Detail  view of a article. In the Summary view there is no problem, I can see the images.

When I View Image Info (this is a tool integrated into Firefox), it show me all links to the images, including those beloging to the website layout, this are the image links:

http://localhost/cms/uploads/CleanPortf ... ground.jpg
http://localhost/cms/uploads/CleanPortfolio/logo.png

http://localhost/cms/news/5/61/uploads/images/logo1.gif
http://localhost/cms/news/5/61/uploads/ ... ertise.jpg

http://localhost/cms/uploads/CleanPortfolio/footer2.jpg
http://localhost/cms/uploads/CleanPortf ... cebook.png
http://localhost/cms/uploads/CleanPortfolio/Twitter.png
http://localhost/cms/uploads/CleanPortf ... icious.png
http://localhost/cms/uploads/CleanPortfolio/footer.jpg

This bolded images are missing. You can see that the links to this two images are different, I don't know why.
The advertise.jpg image is hardcoded into the site template. This image is visible on all pages, the image link on this pages looks like this http://localhost/cms/uploads/CleanPortf ... ertise.jpg. But when I click on Read more link, to read the article, the link to this image change into http://localhost/cms/news/5/61/uploads/ ... ertise.jpg and the image bacame invisible.

This happens with the images in the news articles too. They are visible in the Summary  view, but disappear in the Detail view. The link changes too, from http://localhost/cms/uploads/images/logo1.gif[b]  to  http://localhost/cms/news/5/61/uploads/ ... ogo1.gif[b].

Help.

Obviously it happens due to pretty url and relative path to image and incorrect url base. Try adding this to "Global Metadata:" or atleast to "Page Specific Metadata:"

Code: Select all

<base href="{root_url}/">

or call metadata tag with parameter showbase='true'

Code: Select all

{metadata showbase='true'}

or set use_hierarchy true

Code: Select all

$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

They all should end up with

Code: Select all

<base href="http://localhost/cms/"/>

in section.
