[SOLVED] I have to manually remove backslash - NEWS Module

[fearmydesign]

Hello, so I know how to fix this problem, but I don't understand why it happens. I also looked at this older thread that was kind of helpful, but its not clear to me why I could be having this issue with my NEWS module. http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... re#p273207

So I find that sometimes when creating templates, or a style sheet, I have to either add or remove the backslash from the path to whatever image in order for it to show
(i.e. /uploads/images/this.jpg) or (i.e. uploads/images/this.jpg)

But now, when I am adding news articles {news}, and if I add an image to the content, it will not show, so I have to uncheck the "Use WYSIWYG editor" and manually add a "/" before the uploads/images/etc... image path

...any ideas why this happens?

check your config.php and reduce it to only the required lines as described in doc/CMSMS_config_reference.pdf

This is not my problem, my paths on the config file are setup correctly... maybe I was vague in my explanation.

When I add images to my pages, it works fine, it adds the image like this:

Code: Select all

<img src="uploads/images/etc....>

but when I add an image to the content on a {NEWS} article that I am writing, it adds the code the same *exact* way:

Code: Select all

<img src="uploads/images/etc....>

...but it doesn't show the image when I pull the article on the site to view. So what I have to end up doing, is going back to that same news article, and *add* a backslash before the uploads like this:

Code: Select all

<img src="/uploads/images/etc....>

So why doesn't this happen with all my other pages...? that's my question.

Thanks for your help

You do have the {metadata} tag in the template, right?...

Actually not for my NEWS template. I am using the AutoPilot metatag creator here: http://www.i-do-this.com/blog/48/Put-yo ... -autopilot
So is this what's affecting it? not having the {metadata}?

Thank you

By the way, this is the page... the image is showing in the content right now because I added the "/" before uploads...

By default the {metadata} tag pulls the <base href=*********> into the head so it has a reference for things like images in pages allowing them to use relative URLs...

Got it, thanks.
