    Images not being found problem

    I have been trying to use a fragment to display a row of six images that each have a link associated with them. For some reason it does not pick up the image I am using to test the code. I placed the image i the site1 directory. If I replace the file name with one of the other gifs in the directory it is displayed fine but not the new image. It is definitely in the site1 directory and is a gif so I am at a loss as to why it will not show up.

    This is the line of code used.

    <a href="http://www.theorderofinitiative.co.uk/acatalog/Alchemy_Guild.html"><img src="button.gif" width="75" height="75">

    using this line instead it works fine

    <a href="http://www.theorderofinitiative.co.uk/acatalog/Alchemy_Guild.html"><img src="PayPal_mark_60_38.gif" width="60" height="38">

    Any ideas, its got me well and truely wound up today.

    Cheers

    Go to Advanced | Aditional Files and add your images. Actinic will now upload these to your server.

      That did not work. I have never needed to use that to get images to appear. When I added the credit card logo's into the site1 directory and used them in a template they just worked.

      It does not display them in the preview window either

        What is the url of the page so we can see.

        This is correct because Actinic will load them as part of the template. Images that are part of html in fragments may need to be uploaded as aditional files

            The images are referenced correctly (any reason you are using png images?). Do you have ftp access to your server, if so look in the acatalog file to see if the images are there - it looks like they are not on the server.

            Try a refresh of the site - if that fails then you could ftp the images.

              i have been trying gif's and png's to see if it made any difference with no luck.

              I will try looking on the site but that probably wont be until tomorrow now.

              I would have thought though that the local preview would work anyway.

                Just confirmed - there is no image file called button.gif on the site - you will need to add the files to Advanced | Additional files.

                      Did you do a refresh or just update?

                        Just doing a refresh at the moment, the site is huge so its going to take some time.

                        I think this is actually the first time I have used refresh

                          What I get on the page is a six column wide table with the top left three cells, filled with 160 wide images, below that are six invisible links (the mouse changes to a pointy finger when I hover the areas.) Direct requests for the image names gives a does not exist on this site page.

                          If you want the set up to be three times 160 above six times 75, you need to set the first three cells up as <td .... colspan="2>

                          When you say you added the files - did you add button.gif as a new line in Advanced | Additional Files? and the same for each other file name?

                            The top three images are common to all pages and are fragments. The 6 below that are added using a post I think Jont made about using a text only fragment with some code.

                            I have added button.gif into the additional files list, I have never had to use this before for any of the other images created. The button.gif picture has been saved into the main site1 directory. I have only added button.gif to the additional files, the other are me just playing around.

                              The file on your site is button.GIF , not button.gif - make that change in your code - or rename the image file, and you should see the blue buttons with red surround appear magically.
