Small issue with newly installed theme.

[blankoboy]

I have just installed a new theme on my site and am very happy with the look of it with PP Classifieds so far.

There is only really one major I am seeing with it so far:

On my site I have Photopost classifieds installed to the root dir with VB in the subdir /forum.

When I browse to www.mydomain.com/forum there is no problem with the header and footer images showing up. But when I browse to the top level, where classifieds is, the header logo.gif and the footer .gifs do not show up. For some reason their paths are not correct when I right click where and check properties for where they should be.

See below:

When I browse to the /forum the images appear correctly and right clicking on them show the below path:

<www.mydomain.com/forum/images/themename/header/logo.gif>
<www.mydomain.com/forum/images/themename/misc/menu_open.gif>
<www.mydomain.com/forum/images/themename/footer/top.gif>

When I browse to the main site the images do not appear and right clicking on where they would be (can only see the error boxes in IE of course) shows the below path:

<www.mydomain.com/images/themename/header/logo.gif>
<www.mydomain.com/images/themename/misc/menu_open.gif>
<www.mydomain.com/images/themename/footer/top.gif>

I am also seeing the same behavior with the links the header (ie: Contact Us). Any idea how I might go about resolving this?

Try making sure in the theme style options in your vb admin menu make sure the path to the image directories are full url and also edit the header and footer and make sure the image paths are full url to the images.

Thanks Chuck. I tried the following in style manager:

<http://www.mydomain.com/forum/images/themename/header/logo.gif>

When I did this, I was able to see the logo in PP Classifieds but no longer in the VB forum.

I also tried just doing </forum/images/themename/header/logo.gif>.
It had the same effect.

The default entry for this theme is: </images/themename/header/logo.gif>, while the entry for the default vb3 theme is <images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif>. Not a drastic change. Strange that it's not picking up correctly.

Make sure the path is right as if it is correct it should show in both classifieds and the forum. For any custom style you use the paths must be full url and not relative url to show in the photopost products since the images do not exist in our directory and relative urls say to look under the current directory.

I just went throught and set them all to the full url again as you suggested and all appears good now. I must have been really tired last night went I did it the first time and it was not working (~3am). Thanks Chuck!
