Image Links Broken After Upgrade to 1.9

15 years 9 months ago #3823 by cheresources
I had this same problem when I initially installed SEF Advance (see www.sakic.net/forum/sef_advance/base_url...ve_paths-t722.0.html ), but it was fixed in the subsequent version.

Now, with the latest update, I'm having the same problem again.  All of the image links are broken.  You can see a sample page here:

beta.cheresources.com/articles/cooling-t...-considerations.html

How do I correct this?  You can see that SEF is adding a duplicate section name in the image link.  For example, the correct link might be:

beta.cheresources.com/articles/images/ctowers1.gif

but SEF is translating to:

beta.cheresources.com/articles/images/articles/ctowers1.gif (BROKEN LINK)

Thanks,

Chris

The images are added with relative links (images/articles/thumbnails/...) instead of absolute links (/images/articles/thumbnails/...).

It must be added absolutely, otherwise it won't work even with core SEF (try disabling SEF Advance and try with built-in SEF).

If you added images manually make sure they are added as <img src="/images..." /> or if you use some plugin make sure it uses absolute links.

Just in case anyone else is using JCE Editor with SEF Advance.  Something happened during the latest update (1.9) of SEF Advance where the image paths from JCE editor (without the leading slash) where not be appended correctly by SEF Advance.  Previously, I had the system SEF in Joomla 1.5.9 turned off and the images worked fine with SEF Advance.

After upgrading to SEF Advance 1.9, I had to enable the System-SEF plugin in Joomla.  That appends the image folders correctly and now SEF Advance and JCE Editor are playing nicely together in their sandbox.
