CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I installed cmsmadesimple v1.0beta5. On my website I use pictures whitch are located on another server. Those pictures do not show.
In the content page I use the following code:


You can see my problem on my site: www.compascomputers.nl. From menu Notebooks - Prijslijst - Choose an item and you'll see what I mean. Every notebook model page should have a product picture on the page.

Can I only use pictures from within cms or is there something else wrong?

I've seen this problem before.
The solution I used is to double the first letter of the link.
So instead of something like http://www.somesite.com/...  I used http://wwww.somesite.com ...
In your case I suppose somehting like http://ffoto.quote.nl/productinfo/17524/foto/foto.jpg should work.
let me know if this solves the problem.

Works here as it should.

Are you using fckeditor or something?

I've had this problem too and this worked for me also.
I couldn't explain why it worked this way, possible bug in cms?
Anyway, I should give it a try.

Thanx! It does work when I double the first letter of the link.

The only thing is that I import the pages from another website and it's an extra change on every new or changing page. Every week about 5 to 10 pages. It should be a simple process.

Yes, I do use FCKeditorX. In beta3 this was no problem, but it's a beta and it works with some extra work, so I'll wait for the next beta release hoping it will be resolved.

Do I understand well that you just copy pages from another website and publish them as your own pages?
Are you sure you are not breaking copy-rights this way?

It's an intranet of my supplier. Those product pages are made for us. So no, copyright is not the problem. We just don't want to make all those commercial/ technical info-pages hourselves. No time for that. Too many changes and too much work.

Ohh, if your supplier agreed you do that, there won't be a problem I suppose.
