Hi Dave

I like to post my thumbnails whithin my text of my news articles.

This is fine but i get broken images if the pages are displayed on a sub-domain.

I installed the cms on the main website domain ie. "www.mydomain.com" but some of the articles are displayed on subdomains like "sub.mydomain.com"

when i view the properties of the broken image the link is almost intact apart from the sub domain url is in the image url

ie;

sub.mydomain.com/cms/uploads/5508_200_001_thumb.jpg

when it should be

www.mydomain.com/cms/uploads/5508_200_001_thumb.jpg

I am sure its easy to fix

Hi Steveo,

I think there is a tinyMCE (the wysiwyg editor we use) setting that does that. But before I hunt that one down I thought I'd just ask if using <base href="http://www.yourdomain.com/"> in the head of the html page would be an option?

Base href sets the path for all relative urls and links on the page.

Let me know.

Hi Dave

Te urls do vary in the web page as the cms is based on the main url and not the sub.

Ok, I found the setting for it. Open this file:lib/menus/default/edit_functions.php

Search for "tinyMCE.init" and you'll see this line:

theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",

add a line after that one like this:

theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
remove_script_host : false,

That should make it so anytime you save the wysiwyg all the times will have the full path with domain.

Hope that helps! :)

Hi Dave

I had to use this again on a sub domain as the WYSIWYG images would not work on a subdomain. Perhaps this line of codeshould be added to future versions?

cheers

For most users having the domains not included makes the most sense (because the data in the database isn't tied to a domain, if they change domains, etc).

I'd like to make it easy to toggle that for users such as yourself. Maybe as a setting in an ini file or something that wouldn't get overwritten with upgrades.

Was it for another install or after upgrading that you had to set it again?

Ok, I've added a checkbox for this under Admin > General > Advanced Settings (new section) in v1.10 which is currently in development. So there will be checkbox for it in the next release.
