Wrong image paths in rootrelative and fullpathurl mode

[gerritvanaaken]

Affects inserting images with advimage plugin. My image directory is set to "assets/images/" in file system settings.

In rootrelative mode
Image URL from MODx browser: "assets/images/myimage.jpg"
image preview url: "http://localhost/assets/components/tinymce/assets/images/myimage.jpg"
url of generated image after inserting: "/assets/components/tinymce/assets/images/myimage.jpg"

In fullpathurl mode
Image URL from MODx browser: "assets/images/myimage.jpg"
image preview url: "http://localhost/assets/components/tinymce/assets/images/myimage.jpg"
url of generated image after inserting: "http://localhost/assets/components/tinymce/assets/images/myimage.jpg"

In docrelative mode the urls are correct, but useless for websites with "friendly alias path". This is decsribed here as well: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,55324.msg318337.html

I've got exactly the same problem. Any news on this ?

Of course we could force the path, but it would break with an update...

@splittingred: Do you want help with this issue?

@carlwolff:

I noticed that this issue is still no fixed after 4 months. Did you manually edit the path? I cannot find the line which is responsible.. Could you please give me a hint where to look?

best regards

It will work if you add the "base href" tag in your header (by tip from gerrit) even though I would prefer to get rid of that one. I have manage to solve this without the base-tag once but I have no idea why that site worked and the other one didn't :-(

Thanks for your reply, but I don't fully understand your method:

TinyMCE uses "/assets/components/tinymce/" as prefix, so how can base href help? It only defines the "front part" of the whole path.. (base href="http://example.com/" + "/assets/components/tinymce/" + pathToImage)..

[carlwolff]

Exactly - This was the only way I could make it work.
It is a broken behavior in TinyMCE when using rootrelative i guess, so the only way is to not use it. Anyway...if you're only looking for SEO, I think Google is advanced enough to find your pictures ;-)

My configuration is:
** template **
Base href:

** settings **
tiny.path_options: docrelative

Good luck!
(if you find a better solution - please tell us!)

It's working - thank you very much!

(if you find a better solution - please tell us!)
I will, but I'm not very optimistic ;)

I actually managed to get rid of this problem in 2.1.2-pl by setting tiny.path_options to blank. Anyone else who can confirm this?

edit: Nevermind! That broke TinyMCE. :D

You can fix this by setting tiny.base_url in system settings, I changed the path to of my Filesystem to /assets/ and this broke the TinyMCE image path. In order to fix this just set the tiny.base_url to /assets/ too and it should be fine. I also have tiny.path_options set to rootrelative.
