Absolute path for images

I found that the html editor inserts a relative path for the images where they are created. I would think that a absolute path is more convenient since the admin pages are in a different folder then the pages on my site, maybe a good idea for the next update?

the path that is used by HTML Editor will be relative to the site root.

On a testsite the html prdouces code like src="upload/animage.jpg" instead of src="/upload/animage.jpg" so its not relative to the site root.

Jason,

But I think the issue with using relative to the site root is that you have no preview when you are say in a CMS folder (or any directory that is not root).

I would think it would have to put the preceding slash to establish an absolute path and that way the preview would work regardless of the directory you were using the editor in.

Best regards,

Brian

Brian,

I think we are using different terminology for the same thing

A site relative link is one that includes the forward slash, that makes it relative to the site root.

we have a beta release available to address the problem with the paths being created as document rather than site relative:

I have created a support ticket so we send you a link to the beta release, it just needs to go through some final qa testing before it will be officially released.

Hi Biesheuvel, I'm also from the Netherlands, maybe we can help each other in our native language. If you think this is a good idea PM me.

Hi everyone,

I have been having issues with the new editor aswell.

My simple solutions seemes to work fine:

1. Open kfm/configuration.php
2. Find these lines of php and duplicate them and delete or comment out the originals.
$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../userfiles';
$kfm_userfiles_output = '/userfiles/';

3. Change them to the following "userfiles is the upload path":
$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../userfiles/';
$kfm_userfiles_output = .'http://www.website.com/userfiles/';

works for me!

My site has an admin folder and the template files are in the root, the upload folder is "http://www.website.com/userfiles/"

Hope this helps

Thanks for posting that.

An update will be available shortly that will correct this issue. it is currently going through our QA department.

I am having a problem with this also...
Using the file uploader...

the form is located in an admin area mysite.com/admin/form.php
startup_folder:'images' <-- files exists in directory when uploaded, but not shown in file manager (but sometimes on the form itself?)

startup_folder:'pdf' <-- works pdfs download as expected.

the uploads file is located in at mysite.com/uploads
I am trying to use the default dir mysite.com/uploads/images
this directory is fine mysite.com/uploads/pdfs


kfm/configuration.php :
$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../uploads/';
$kfm_userfiles_output = '/uploads/';


Using this, PDF uploads are fine, but image uploads are not. The images are not visible within the kfm filemanager.

I have created a support ticket so we can look into this issue further.
