CMS Made Simple Forums

I had a similar problem before and it got resolved thanks to the valiant efforts of megabob3. Now I'm working on a new site with CMS 0.12 and I'm getting the problem again but the FCKEditorX module has changed and the previously described solution no longer seems to apply.

Actually it's a bit different from last time. If I specify the image path as absolute then it is correctly saved and the image displays fine. However when I use the gui to select or upload an image fck fills in a relative path by default which doesn't work due to my url scheme. I need to manually prefix the path with a slash to make it absolute then it works.

How can I tell fck to only use absolute paths?

Try putting a base tag in the head section of your template ({metadata} does this in the 0.13 series). 



Then all of the relative paths should resolve from the proper place.

I'd rather not use . I can't give a good reason why but I've just always had a feeling it isn't right!

i set this site up in 3 hours last night from start to finish... www.fullerlifewater.com  i know ...it looks familiar..

which i've used a lot on my templates because i use the flyout style CSS menu a lot and this was a template i imported from my main site thinking the first adaption of they're previous template might not have been set right... well wrong again... just needed to change it to this, wish i would have found this out sooner, i had tried every pretty url trick in the forum i could find with no luck, besides trying every menu trick i could find and the {metadata} thingy... and this was all it was.... ready...
