Hi,

I am looking to deploy a simple NEWS feature to a website. The idea is to post the headline, and summary with a read more link for the complete news story. The complete News Stories are built as HTML documents and my have embedded images and these image urls are build as relative when an admin creates them.

Sound like a perfect for the Announcements module.  If I upload the HTML and images to the portal using the file manager and link to that page via the documents module/URL Control, the images do not appear.

Is there a way to link to an html file that will support relative images, or do I need to munge the HTML document to make absolute image urls after posting the html document.

Thanks for any suggestions or tips.

p.s. I realize this is more of an issue of how the URL control ineracts with the DNN system, so if there any URL control experts out there :)

Ian,

The htm document is created uing simple html and the img tag has a src attribute with a link to the file such as, src='telerik.gif'

I posted a sample to my site.

Look at how the direct link to the page works, http://walkspoiled.com/portals/2/SampleNews1.htm

But when using the announcments module and the URL control, the html page is called via some autogenerated ticket and relative links do not work.

http://walkspoiled.com/newstest/tabid/204/Default.aspx is the link to the announcements page, with the 'broken' read more link

thanks for taking a look!

Jim,

Maybe i don't understand your usecase correcly, but why not just create a new page for each article and just put a text/html module on that page?
