When I click on the "more" link on my News page, all of the images on the page disappear. What am I doing wrong? Help!

Well now you are going to have problems, because you have to put the {metadata} tag in the header, because you are using pretty URLs.

Now the Top link wont work unless you put the full address to the Back to top or however it shows in the address bar, I think this might work.

Boy if it ain't one thing it's another.

Well in the   area where you have the {stylesheet} tag you need to add the {metadata} tag this will put a base href line at the top so that images and such know where the root/base of your site is, so they know where to start from.

  this is the line from the metadata tag in the header.

You see from your image link here that it just starts in the uploads folder.



Well the way pretty URLs work is the replace they actual path/address of a page with a nice looking path/address this is mine without pretty URLs.

This is yours, the way it calls the news page just news without the ?page= leads me to believe that you have pretty URLs, if this is a clean install of the newest V. 0.13 then it will make P. URLs by default, or you have upgraded and turned them on yourself.

You did ask about self linking right?

Well the self link I told you about won't work with the metadata tag in the header, I think, unless you use a more specific path to the #top.

Like I said I had trouble with the self link taking me back to my home page, it was driving me nuts because it worked on some pages but not others then I discovered the difference was the {metadata} tag in the pages that the self link didn't work in, I took it out and the self link worked.

I hope I haven't made just more confusing, just put {metadata} next to your {stylesheet} in the head.

Actually, the linking with a page was for another site.

Anyway, I made the mistake of doing content blocks for the metadata. If I now add the {metadata} tag, will it wipe out my content blocks that contain the meta data? Crap.

This looks like it's going to take some time to resolve.

No the tag will pick up both, the site wide and the individual pages.

What do you mean, content blocks for the metadata, this is usually put in the box on the second tab page, one says Main, other says Options, on the options page there is a Metadata: box you can fill for that page.

It will get carried with the {metadata} tag along with the site wide Metadata.

Just one tag a template thats all you need  [the kids sing as they dance around the table driving me crazy].  ;)
