Hi,

Hope this is the right forum for this . . I seem to recall something similar a while back, but can't find reference to it now! Anyway, here goes:

I uploaded my shiny new DNN 4.5.1 website the other night and everything works beautifully. There are still some skinning issues to overcome and more content to port from my old site, though! Anyway, all is fine except that my images and internal links don't work! Images are not displayed and the links generate errors.

On my local testing system, my image path is like this:

/ElegantSimplicity.com/Portals/0/Images/CDs/escd18x140.jpg

 - all images and links work fine.

When looked at on the production server, they become: www.elegantsimplicity.com//ElegantSimplicity.com/Portals/0/Images/CDs/escd18x140.jpg

.. which is why they don't work.

Is there anyway I can set it so that on my local system the image path looks like this:

/Portals/0/Images/CDs/escd05x140.jpg

Needless to say, after a bitt of initial panic, I had to re-edit all my pages to the format above.

Any help gratefully received!

Steven

My suggestion for this kind of issues is that if you build your content on local and then transfer the finished site to the server, you have to have the same path both on local and on the final server. Otherwise you'll have all these problems with paths. There's no automatic way of changing all entered paths, you'll have to change them manually.

To solve this there's a nice tool called IISAdmin that will allow you to have many sites on your local development computer an run all of them as if they were on the root.

I've just found this other one which also looks interesting : XP Pro IIS Admin

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. However, I must point out that the Ventrian Image Gallery that I use required no tweaking on the remote server whatsoever. All the links and image paths that I had on my local server transferred correctly. So if it works with Ventrian, is there something amiss with the DNN text editor? As I see it, if I develop a site locally, no matter the path/directory I have stuck it in, it should transfer without any tweaking at all. Indeed, my previous site was hand built using plain asp.net using Visual Studio only (ie not DNN) and I uploaded that painlessley, too. Also, any site I have done using Dreamweaver, no matter where it was in the local server, worked without flaw on the remote. What I am saying, then, is surely a piece of powerful work like DNN should preserve image paths? Everything else can! Having said that, I love DNN!
