images from forum arent being read on the main page

[TuSlic]

I had to create another image directory for the images stored for the template im using, is there anyway i can just make the path go to the same image directory i use for my forum?

You should be able to go into the CSS for the style you are using and change the URLs to point to the other image directory, if I understand what you are referring to.

Admincp -> Styles & Templates -> Styles Manager -> Go -> and change the image paths from /images/xxxx.gif to http://your.domain.com/forums/images/.....gif or whatever the path.

I am having the same problem but I have not yet found where to change the path to the images. From your post, the path you are giving is exacty where my images are.

I am having the same issue. My images are in soandso.com/board/images and the cmps is looking for images to be in soandso.com/images.

I checked the style sheet and the image path appears to be correct. I don't know where the cmps is getting its images from .

See my post about how to do this here.

I've been playing with it and when I change images so they are correct on the cmps, I lose them on the forum. All I see in my style sheet is images/buttons.

[Ozzie]

If you are using a different style for the forum, you need to make the same changes to that style as well.

Also, where it says "images/buttons", place your full URL there so it reads "http://yoursite.com/forums/images/buttons" (no quotes).

[Moke]

Yeah I have done that as well and it does not work for me. I don't know what the issue is.

My images path has been updated but I too have the same problem. ??

[AlexUK]

Anyone can help with this problem?

[Ozzie]

My images path has been updated but I too have the same problem. ??There are two places where you can "update" the images.

1. Run vbacmps_install.php as you did when you installed and select 'Update your image paths". If that doesn't work then...

2. Go into your CSS as I outlined in the link I posted in message #6 above and make sure absolute URLs show in any place where there is a path to an image.

[AlexUK]

Yes I have done it and still images dont show.

[Ozzie]

Yeah, it seems to be just the Navigation Menu that's affected. Either those images have not been uploaded or some other problem has cropped up.

I might try re-uploading the module. Looking at examples from the Nav Menu author's thread, I haven't come across any that have image placeholders like yours does.

You might want to post over on one of those threads and see if anyone has any thoughts. Sorry this didn't work for you.

I found that some of my images did NOT EXIST. I had to re-upload them from my Vbulletin package to the proper path. I did as Ozzie told me to here:

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15230

Then I ran the install program again and updated my images. When you are running the update image program, be sure and click on save, NOT RESET. A basically blank page will show up that has PROCEED on it. Click proceed. You have to do this twice before you get to the page where the images we are talking about really get updated. Be sure and save that page as well.

It worked for me!

[Moke]

I finally got it working. It would not work on my laptop yesterday.

Now I just need to change it to index.php so that it becomes my home page. Do I do that in ftp or through the style sheet?

[Ozzie]

Glad it's working.

You would change cmps_index.php to index.php thru FTP. You may also have to change the CMPS URL in the AdminCP.

AdminCP -> vBa CMPS -> Default Settings -> Options -> CMPS URL -> index.php

/edit - AlexUK, I still see image placeholders on your site. See if this post helps

I have noticed that some of my images are not working, I uploaded again plus changed checked image paths all the normal stuff and still those particular images refuse to show.

When I click view image it says: /images/xxx/xxx... not found

But they are there.

[Ozzie]

Are they under your "skins" folders?

From the installation readme: "Upload upnew.gif & navbits_dash.gif to your skins ( 'misc' ) folder."

It's the only reason I can think of why those two images (upnew.gif and navbits_dash.gif) would not display, although it looks like you're using a vBulletin default skin. If so, the correct path should be "http://www.psplounge.com/forums/images/misc"

[AlexUK]

Actually I found the problem, my style has had some customizations and I had to go into the style settings and change every single reference to images folder to included full url, this was at the very bottom of sytle sheet and I didnt even notice it.

Many Thanks for the support :)

[Ozzie]

Yeah, the "Additional CSS Definitions" section. I've been tripped up by that myself. LOL.

Glad it's working. :)
