Image Path Tool?

TripMaster · December 19th, 2007, 07:36 PM

For some reason in any skin other than default, in a subcat listing, the image paths trys to point to a .php file.

For example...

http://www.mousetrip.net/pp/index.php/cat/images/styles/mousetrip.net/misc/navbits_start.gif

Why would it do this and how do I fix it?

Please make sure in your other styles if they are custom that in the global style elements make sure the relative path listings are like this

images/misc

would be replaced with full url to directories like so

http://www.mysite.com/forums/images/misc

That should help you and also you can turn off spider urls and that will also correct it.

Here Chuck, better explaination: Strange "Red X" problem.

TripMaster · December 19th, 2007, 08:43 PM

Hmmmp... disregard both.
Turned off spider friendly URLs and it fixed it.

Hi, i have the same problem that Tripmaster, but even with the Use ''Spider-friendly URLs? off'' options the problem persist. I'm using the vbulleting default style. Could yo please give me more clues how to look for those ''global style elements''? Thanks for your time...

How about a url to your install so we can see the issue please post any relevent urls for us to look at.

Sorry. Take a look this is my vbulletin photopost install:
http://www.fororeptiles.org/photopost/index.php

And this is the my vbulletin forum:
http://www.fororeptiles.org/foros/index.php

All elements in the nav bar points to 'http://www.fororeptiles.org/foros/index.php'' followed by a relative paht that depends on each element. For example UserCP points to: ''http://www.fororeptiles.org/foros/index.php/usercp.php''...

I suspect that i did enter ''http://www.fororeptiles.org/foros/index.php'' instead of just ''http://www.fororeptiles.org/foros'' somewhere during installation by I can't fin where.

I updated the logo name to its abslute path and now works but I know it has to be something elese as all other vb elements are wrong also. Any ideas??? Thanks again...

Solved!! I turned to be vbulletin's ''Site Name / URL / Contact Details fourm url'' setting. I had there http://www.fororeptiles.org/foros/index.php instead of just http://www.fororeptiles.org/foros/index.php.. Thanks a lot for your time, have a very happy holidays!!

Yes that is the correct answer that setting is url to the forum not to a specific script. Have a great holiday yourself my friend.
