image problem!

[Luddite]

If any of you get a sec, could you have a quick look at http://www.theperfectpad.co.uk/acatalog/naughtone.html,
and tell me if all the images are showing in the centre of the screen. They show fine on my work PC, but not at home.

This is my first foray into putting code into a fragment, I thought it had worked, but maybe not.

The pictures don't show at all on my PC, but their empty placemarkers are in the middle.

They appear in the centre but the images are not showing as the path is wrong.

file:///C|/Program%20Files/Actinic%20v7/Sites/Site1/portion_button.gif

Check <img src=" ">

[Luddite]

Thanks for the quick resonse - heres the code, what have I done wrong? I did the work in dreamweaver, and cut/pasted into a fragment.

You are trying to use the file on your hard disk - you need to change the top image link to pick it up from your acatalog directory - I think that if you do this then Actinic will automatically copy the image file up for you.

Yeah, thats it J. The image path should be something like...

http://www.theperfectpad.co.uk/acata...r_homepage.gif

I think it sometimes works with just the `mibo_wallpaper_homepage.gif`, depending on where the image is stored.

`plus_button.gif`. Hmmm. Wonder if you could hide a keyword (or two) within that image name.

[Luddite]

Hmm...... changed that - but I still don't think it works. Can't understand it. All the referenced files are in site 1. There must be a bit of naughty code somewhere. Nick

That last image isn't appearing. Check the image is in the acatalog directory and check the file name (including capitalisation which sometimes messes things up).

Looks like you need the www etc bit as well...

Not sure what you mean George. The 3 images in a row are effectively subsection buttons, so point to a url, the top image is just for fun so doesn't point to anything.

This is one of those jobs that I thought would be really straightforward!!

As far as I can see, all the images are referenced properly (i've checked and doublechecked), but one of the images still seems reluctant to show its face!!

Any more suggestions before I put my fist through my screen?

[pinbrook]

the missing image is being referenced from http://www.theperfectpad.co.uk/acata...htone_logo.gif

assuming it is located in site1 then it should upload. Try adding it to additional files -

go to advanced menu, additional files and browse to the image you want to upload, then upload catalog.

let us know the result

[wjcampbe]

Have just worked with another site where the image would not show as "image.gif" but would load as "../image.gif" - no idea why, but if the file is definitely uploaded to the acatalog folder and still does not show, it may be worth trying.

It could be that the image is a corrupt file which can happen when you batch process a load of images incorrectly (gif's can sometimes be given the .jpg extension or vice versa).

I have also looked on the site and you are getting an error 403 not a 404 so it is being uploaded.

Another possibility could be (don't know why or how this would happen) but the permissions of the file could be incorrectly set to not allow output. You can check this and change it with any ftp software. Make sure it is CHMOD 644 or that it can at least be read by anyone. It might explain why you can on one pc but not another.

If I were you I'd ask you service provider to see if they can see a problem, they might even work out the problem for you,

If you are happy using ftp away from actinic up load the file separately into an images folder (create this under public_html or htdocs) then just use the whole URL to reference the image ie

!!<<img src="http://www.myurl.com/images/image_name.gif" alt="alt text">>!!

[Luddite]

Jo - your solution worked - At least, I can see the offending image now - it would be good to know whether everyone else can though.(http://www.theperfectpad.co.uk/acatalog/naughtone.html)
Is this just an actinic quirk, or have I set something up incorrectly?
Thanks so much.
