Template Issues Can't Post

I am working on a site for a client and I got him Realty Manager to use for his listings. I have modified the template files and they are working fine when you view them directly

IE http://sake.electrickitten.com/~michaelh/listman/templates/_realty/_publish_listing.html

But when I publish the listings, the footer and sidebar graphic disappear (I am not worried about the sidebar graphic overly as it is a placeholder for a mortgage calculator I am putting in). Also, the thumbnail does not show up (Though if you go into the listing, it does there).

IE http://sake.electrickitten.com/~michaelh/listman/listings/

If anybody can help me figure out a reason for this, would be greatly appreciated!

Hi kray,

Thanks for your post. Smile

I think I followed up with you about this in an email, but it looks like you have relative URLs set up on your templates that are breaking when the files are actually published.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you need anything else!

It would appear that way, as I just noticed that NO images show up on the search pages.

Is there a place that lists the absolute links for each of the template pages? Based on default of course as many people will change things to suit how they want it, but I am cool with default folders :D

Thanks

I was just thinking about something...

If it's a relative URL problem, how come its just one image that does not show up? All the images are stored in the same location and have the same URL in the code to display them.

That would mean when you publish a page, that it changes the location code of only one image and not the rest wouldn't it??

Hi Kray

Thanks for following up!

From the looks of it here, you have a folder in the root of your website called images. It contains all your image files except for that one placeholder.jpg. My suggestion here will be to move placeholder.jpg into your images folder and then make sure any image tag you have has something like this for the src attribute:

src="/~michaelh/images/IMAGENAME"

Make sure, of course, to swap in the actual image name. If you do this, the images will load properly regardless of where you are (looking at a template or looking at the published files).

The only thing will be that because it looks like you are currently using a temp URL, you'll need to change the image src to just:

src="/images/IMAGENAME"

once you get your actual domain going. So basically, make sure all your images are in one folder on your server and drop all the ../ stuff you have in there now.

Does that make sense? Give it a shot and let me know how you make out Smile.

Ross,
The placeholder image does not really matter, as it will be replaced by a table containing a mortgage calculator. I am more concerned with the footer graphic that does not show up (Or in the case of the search pages, nothing showing up).

I am going to change the path for images to use the domain and path when I get some time.

Hi Kray,

It looks like you have some extra templatecell tags in your template -- try removing these:

<!-- template insert : $list$ -->

<!-- templatecell : listing_image -->

<!-- /templatecell : user_noimage -->

These don't need to be on the _publish_listing.html template at all, I'd guess they were copied & pasted in from other templates.

For the images on your search page, take a look at Ross's post -- it's just a simple case of the paths being incorrect. :)
