[SOLVED]Update 1.0.10 SEOtools2 causing problem?

Post by lyle »

Hi,
I updated SEOtools2 from 1.0.05 to 1.0.10 and seem to be having a problem with the addressing being generated for images on my website.
Previously the address I used would look like this: "uploads/images/whatever.jpg"
That no longer works, now I have to append a slash resulting in this:
"/uploads/images/whatever.jpg"

I was suggested that the problem was due to the lack of a {metadata} tag in the <head> of the page which is supposed to be replaced by SEOtools2 so I'm wondering if this could be the trouble.

In the short term is there a way for me to rollback to SEOtools2 1.0.05 (short of uninstalling and reinstalling? (or having a backup :-))?


Thanks in advance!

The {metadata} tag generates a <base href...> tag which is necessary when you use mod_rewrite pretty urls. If SEOtools2 requires you to delete the {metadata} tag, it should generate the <base href > code instead.

You can also hardcode it in your pagetemplate

I do hope they get SEOtools corrected though.

There is a parameter in SEOTools2 to display the <base> tag, ie

Code: Select all

{SEOTools2 showbase='1'}
You can also use the 'Additional Meta Tags to be inserted' field to add extra tags, ie:

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
