Scarpbook items and Images

Permalink
Hi there,
I only have access to the CMS and not via FTP but here is my problem:

• I have uploaded images to the file manager

• Found out the direct link to the image:
<img src="files/7112/7971/3364/blurred_29.gif" />

• PLaced the image and text into a content block

• Saved to scrapbook

• applied scrapbook item to all other pages

Everything works except the image does not load.... any ideas why?

Thanks
dancer

Yeah, your direct link isn't actually direct, you'll need to add more to make it a complete path, like so:

<img src="http://www.yoursitehere.com/files/7112/7971/3364/blurred_29.gif" />

Hey Lucus,
Yes this would be correct if I was not moving the website from a testing server to the live server when the website is done. I don't want to go in and change the file paths.
Thanks for the response.

Right Ignore me and delete this post if you like :)

I found the solution:
there needs to be a backslash "/" before the first character in the file path. eg "/files/..."

Sorry and thanks
