Getting images with full paths to show |
|---|
| message from dziner74 on 22 Jul 2004 |
We have an internal server that we work off of and have the site defined to a
directory on that server. The local root folder path looks something like this:
M:\Our Work\PromoWebServer\HTMLEmail\
and the http address for the site would be:
http://www.oursite.com/html/HTMLEmail/
When I create a new page and add images, the path to the images is
../images/nameofimage.gif
I can see the images like this. But when I replace the ../images/ with
http://www.oursite.com/html/HTMLEmail/images/ I can no longer see the images in
Dreamweaver. Is there a way to solve this so that images with full url paths
will be visible in the WYSIWYG mode?
We have one PC here where this works and the images are visible... but after
setting the other PSc up with the exact same settings it doesn't work. I'm
confused.
M:\Email Work\PromoWebServer\HTMLEmail\

Two tips on this:
Assuming that this the images are in the current Site-
1) Let dw know what the full path to your site is:
Dw menu-->Site-->Edit Site or Manage Site
Select that site, press Edit
Click the "Advanced" tab at top, because it's quicker to find things.
Click "Local Info" in the category list on left.
Fill in the "HTTP Address" line with the address you use.
http://mysite.com
http://www.mysite.com
or
http://www.myhost.com/mysite
Now dw will treat absolute paths that are within your site as local paths.
{As Long As the images and links exist on your hd in the Local Site Folder,
they will display in Design view, and dw will manage the links if you rename
or move things. If the images don't exist in the Local Site Folder, they
won't show- dw will not pull them from the web}
2) install this extension to change linking methods with a click of a
button:
If you want to quickly change links to a different linking method- install
the Relativity Extension.
http://e7x.com/dw/ Relativity ext.
or here
http://www.microwaved.plus.com/dw/
(this Extension means you can make relative links in dreamweaver while doing
the layout, and then presto change all of them to full http:// links without
hand typing thedomain name or doing a find and replace)

I have gone through the Advanced tab and set up everything to match the
Dreamweaver that does show the full paths of the images. The only 2 areas that
I can see that would reflect this is the Local site path and the http address.
Both match. Both systems have the same site defined on the same local server.
Images are all there because it works in one Dreamweaver setup but for some
reason not the other.
That extension sounds pretty cool. Would be very helpful for what we do.
