images in cgi bin problem

[Barry]

HIya

Having trouble linking into any page/ section in the /acatalog folder from
the root index.html file - all images and css are missing from pages within the /cgi-bin folder

there is lots of info on this borad regarding this, base href etc but im still haveing problems!

if i code a link to a section like this;

<A href="http://www.tshirtsville.com/cgi-bin/ss000002.pl?SECTIONID=acatalog%2FBand%5fTshirts%5fA%5fE%2ehtml&NOLOGIN=1&ACTINIC_REFERRER=http://www.tshirtsville.com/acatalog/">

and also insert this form;

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<input name="ACTINIC_REFERRER" type="hidden" id="ACTINIC_REFERRER" value="http://www.tshirtsville.com/acatalog/">
<input type=HIDDEN name="ACTINIC_REFERRER" value="http://www.tshirtsville.com/acatalog/">
</form>

shoudnt that do the trick? do i need base href tag? thsi is confusing as any tag with NETQUOTEVAR in it wont be parsed properly when out sidde the /acatalog folder as this file it

Hmmmmm....

thanks for any help you can give us guys, struggling with this one

Looking at your code you don't have BASEHREF in your generated code

I suspect thisis the fault.

It needs to go back into Act_Primary

Thanks very much for the relpy Jo

ive just checked the site and all pages in /acatalog ahev this line in the head section

<Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="http://www.tshirtsville.com/acatalog/"/>

do you mean that we need that line in the root /index.html file in order to make the section links work aand therefore the images show in /cgi-bin pages

really appreciate the help as the site is currently broken and its a busy one with an agitated owner!

Can you post a link to the site or the network settings? Either/both could help identify the problem.

Failing that, right click on a missing image and let us know where it thinks the image should be.

Doh: I worked out the site from your postings. Images look Ok to me in the cart and checkout. What's the problem?

thanks Mike for the reply

its www.tshirtsville.com if anyone else would please try it out for me that would be great. i think i have fixed the problem but imnot sure how or why!

i edited the root /index.html file (not the /acatalog/index.html file) as follows

(this is NOT how it says to in the advvanced guide so im not sure how its working! )

1 included this line in the body of the page;
<input type=HIDDEN name="ACTINIC_REFERRER" value="http://www.tshirtsville.com/acatalog/">

The advanced guide says to use a <form> tag here but getting rid of it worked!

2 added this line to the head section;
<Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="http://www.tshirtsville.com/acatalog/"/>

3 removed the special section link code as described in the advnced guide, (it says you need refferrer codes (ect) in the url if you are linking from a page outside /acatalog!!?) Im now just linking straight to the pages within the /acatlog folder and it seems ok! (when i tried using that code the site was all over the place, trying to access files in places like /acatalog/acatalog/index.html and /cgi-bin/index.html - nightmare! although im certainly not saying the guide is wrong, just cant work out whats happening now!)

anyone have any thought on this? or can you please confirm that the cart section and checkout look ok after you use any of the section links on the homepage

confused? you bet! but at least its working (or seems to be anyway!)

thanks guys
