Is there a way you could give us a live example?  Also, have your tried to type in the direct path via the browser's address bar to see if it will come up that way?

Decide whether you want directory default or defaultb4u. Where are the images? Are they on your site or are you hotlinking from someone else's site? What is this second images directory (/images) you mentioned? Are your images found in a different domain than the one you're working in? Are there any subdomains or add-on domains involved here? If so, do you have hotlink protection enabled (and failed to whitelist all your domains)?

<img src="http://www.mysite.com/templates/defaultb4u/images/blue_small_hor.jpg">
---> You don't need http://www.mysite.com if this is on your own site. Is it "default" or "defaultb4u"?

<img src="templates/defaultb4u/images/blue_small_hor.jpg">
--->  Works only if "templates" is immediately below whatever directory you're in at the time. Otherwise, "/templates" should work wherever you are. Again, "default" or "defaultb4u"?

<img src="{$image_dir}blue_small_hor.jpg" width="22" alt="" />
---> Only for PHP code, when variable $image_dir is something like "/templates/defaultb4u/images/".

<img src="images/blue_small_hor.jpg" width="22" alt="" />
---> Only if "images" is immediately below whatever directory you're in at the time.

Hi, thank you very much for your replies, this had led me to go through it with a fine tooth comb and now I have managed to get the images showing on my main site, so panic over for me....thank you.

But I dont know if this is the correct way to do it, and I like to know it is set up right, and just thought I would show you what I did to see if you have any comments.

I have 2 subdomain websites which both run off the same script, the images work OK using (what came with the script) <img src="{$image_dir}blue_box.gif"  alt="" /> and the images are stored at public_html/templates/default2/images.

Main Site
Top level public_html
Images will ONLY show if I put them in the public_html/Images folder (NOW the SAME level as the templates folder not within it).      I also had to change the paths in the files to be <img src="images/blue_hor2.jpg"> in order for them to display correctly.   

I am happy to leave it as it is.  But if this is not the correct way it is always nice to know.

I expect sub-domains will run off different paths etc, but I wondered if I might need to change something in the config file or htaccess.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.

 

 

Hi,

So I should NOT be using the images folder in public_html (I didnt think I should but it worked), ONLY use the images folder under the sites own directory tree.  

Will this cause problems then if left as it is ?

I just tried the full path as you showed me http://othersitename/templates/website/images and now the images work, so I can now go back and change the paths to the "images folder in the website directory tree" if need be.

Thanks for your help to explain this.

UPDATE: I have just noticed the path http://othersitename/templates/website/images works from pages within the Database but NOT from within the script .tpl files ? cant get any path to work within these files ??

 

I will look for help at the script forum, may be best place...just wondered if I may have to edit config.php or htaccess to make them appear.

As you said....see if anyone else can throw some light on this.

Thanks again
