Images showing as broken

Images showing as broken

I have got the advanced manager working and uploading, but, within the admin area, the images show as broken links. On the live site they appear OK, but it's preferable to get them to display in the admin section so that the layout can be corrected prior to submitting changes.

I know it's something to do with file structure, but, I don't know how to get over it. All the public pages are at the root level of the site, but the admin pages are in admin/news/news_insert.php for example. How can I overcome this?

I've set the upload directory to images/editor.

Any thoughts?

if you look at the source of the images, what does it show for image path?


in the webassist/kfm/configuration.php file, what are the
$kfm_userfiles_address

and
$kfm_userfiles_output


set to?

On the public side of the site the code is:
<img alt="" src="_dataimages/_editor/30dc5b4.jpg">

On the admin side of the site the code is:
<img alt="" src="_dataimages/_editor/30dc5b4.jpg">

But it should be:
<img alt="" src="../../_dataimages/_editor/30dc5b4.jpg">
because the page news_detail.php in the admin section is in the folders _admin/news/

The configuration file setting are:
$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../_dataimages/_editor';
$kfm_userfiles_output = '_dataimages/_editor/';

Which suggests to me that the public pages work ok because they are at the root, but the admin pages being one or two levels down from the root will not display, so how do I over come this?

I have tried using "/" and "./" but nothing seems to work!

Thanks.

try changing:
$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../_dataimages/_editor';
$kfm_userfiles_output = '_dataimages/_editor/';


to:
$kfm_userfiles_address = '/_dataimages/_editor';
$kfm_userfiles_output = '/_dataimages/_editor/';

Yeah, I tried that earlier today, and I got this error:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /Users/matthewstuart/Sites/tandr/webassist/kfm/initialise.php on line 158
error: "" could not be created

Line 158 is:

if (!is_dir($rootdir))mkdir($rootdir, 0755, true);

Am I not meant to see the images on the results page or even in the image properties pane? I am sure I have done so in the past.

Further to this, what is confusing to me is that when I click to browse server, all previous uploads, and any new uploads display correctly, but that's only in the upload/browse window. It's only when they are placed in the html editor and seen from anywhere other than top level that they don't display OK.

Do I need to create a third version of the following to get it to work in the admin area:

$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../_dataimages/_editor';
$kfm_userfiles_output = '_dataimages/_editor/';

such as:

$kfm_userfiles_admin-output = '_dataimages/_editor/';

If so, where on earth do I make changes to ensure that the images show in the admin section?

Thanks
