Problem Image Relative Paths

Reply Quote

I am using cute edit for an email newsletter content management. When i insert Pictures, it inserts them with relative paths.

This is a major problem because when the newsletter is sent out , the pictures are broken links because the path to the picture is

instead of:

The second way is how I need it to work. How do i switch from relative to absolute path insertion for images. If it is not possible, I will have to purchase a diffferent product.

Thanx for the help!

The.Cream,

You need to set ChangeAbsoluteURLsToRelative property false to prevent CuteEditor strips out the local server name from all A and IMG tags.

<CE:Editor id="Editor1" runat="server" ChangeAbsoluteURLsToRelative="false"></CE:Editor>

Mike-s,

You can find the ChangeAbsoluteURLsToRelative in the Cute Editor class reference.

CuteEditor V3.0 Documentation

Editor.ChangeAbsoluteURLsToRelative Property

By default Internet Explorer converts all URLs in hyperlinks (anchor tags) and images (img tags) to absolute URLs. When this property is set to true (the default), CuteEditor strips out the local server name from all A and IMG tags if the hostname in the URL matches the current hostname.

so how do i get absolute paths with the asp version then???

e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/images/image.jpg

because different sites are drawing the info from the database and obviously the images are not appearing on the other sites.....

Mike-s,

Open the WinIE.js file, you can find the function save(current).

Add the following code behind "var editor = document.getElementById(current.EditorID);"

EditorView(current,1);EditorView(current,0);

That will resolve your problem.

We will find a better solution in the next versoion.

Hi Adam

its working almost....

one little problem though

in the text area if i add some simple text and an image without positining it etc then it submits fine and with the correct path details.

however

if i add an image with some text and say position the image to the right of the text what happens is the form does not submit but the screen scrolls up to the text are and the cursor foes in the text area and thats it. if however i press the submit button again it then submits the form.

so the submit button needs to be pressed twice to get the form to submit

any ideas???

thanks

Mike

Adam

any answer for this??

with this fix you done, it fixed the original problem with the images paths but, to submit the form the submit button needs to be pressed twice.

If i remove the code you gave me it works fine, but when the code is in there the form only submits after pressing the button twice.

thanks

Mike

Mike,

Can you post a screenshot to show the problem?

Or can you post the steps to reproduce the problem?

Mike,

We added a new property in the version 4.0 - RemoveServerNamesFromUrl.

By default Internet Explorer converts all URLs in hyperlinks (anchor tags) and images (img tags) to absolute URLs.

When this property is set to true (the default), CuteEditor strips out the local server name from all A and IMG tags if the hostname in the URL matches the current hostname.

Example:

'Specify whether the content is readonly
 editor.RemoveServerNamesFromUrl = true
