Lost referential integrity on images

[SarahP]

Hi
I'm using Dreamweaver to create a new home page, brochure layout and standard layout.
The designs are done and registered with actinics and selected in the site options.
In the main I've only inserted inner:layouts into these new pages and have created header and footer nav bars in dreamweaver and then linked the buttons to the relevant pages.
All looks good in dreamweaver design view, in design preview in actinics and in the offline page preview. When I do an offline preview, the index page renders correctly, I navigate to a brochure page or the shop and all my image and jpgs dont render.
I've been looking at this for hours and just dont know whats going on. HELP!

In terms of directory structure, Site1 is the root.

New buttons are in site1
The new home page, brochure layout and standard layouts are in site1
There is an image folder and a picture folder.
Then there are the usual actinics folders.
Version is 8.5.1

Any suggestions much appreciated

I imagine you just need to add in a ../ to your image URL's. Try adding it at the start of one to see if it works.
i.e. if previous image link was:

images/my_image.gif

change to:

../images/my_image.gif

Worth a try.

Rob.

Hi
Thank you.
I've just repeated things using ../ in a more controlled way and heres what I've seen.

Brochure page layout and menu buttons are both sitting in the Site1 root.
If the brouchure layout is edited and gif files are prefixed with ../ they stop displaying in dreamweaver but start displaying when you do an offline preview. Offline page preview and design view continue to work.

But the gif and jpeg images that are part of the inner layout variable do not display on the page.
The code I have after I inserted the inner layout is:

<tr>
<td height="350" bgcolor="e7dbd6" valign="top"><Actinic:Variable Name="INNERLAYOUT"/></td>
</tr>

Is there something missing from this ?
Should I have created/registered these two new layouts for the brochure page and standard layout in the SiteHTML folder rather than the site1 root ?

Many thanks

Hi Sarah,

What do you see from within Actinic? Are the gifs and jpegs displaying correctly from within there?

Remember that Actinic content just shows as a yellow block of text within Dreamweaver

Is there an uploaded version to look at?

Regards,
Rob.

Hi Rob
Been away from this for a few days.
Its definitely a problem with the path statements for images.
I've adjusted the image path statements where appropriate and loaded the site up in test mode and it looks fine online even though the offline preview is still not right. So I'll crack on and live with it.
Thanks for your help
