Image Help Please -:)
Within my template i have inserted 10 images... i have put these images into dir templates/images....uploaded them and none of the images on every page show up?

Why?

I have triple checked all the paths to the images dir and they are all right...

Thanks in advance for any replies. And thanks for past replies, the people in this forum have been a great source of help and relief of frustration!

Greetings!

Had this problem myself. Shifted the image directory back into the root directory and have had no problems since.

I use the absolute path to images and pages on my templates to get around the problem your having, which is http://www.domain.com/images/imagename.gif instead of just /images.

But I suppose you could also use the BASE HTML tag in your templates instead and continue to use the relative paths to your images. The base tag is: <BASE HREF="http://www.domain.com/"> if your unsure, and I believe it goes in the HEAD section of your HTML.

Ok.
first make sure that you have uploaded your images into the server using binary mode.
So when you log to server using ftp type this:

ftp> bin (this will load images in binary)

second you just insert the image to your site: like that:

/templates/images/lssalkfjlsjfd.gif

If the bin was not the problem (which is most likely is), then check the write access of the directory:
type this > chmod 755 images

best luck

Not sure if you have the same problem, but I cannot call images from within my cgi-bin directory. My host says it is bad practice?!?!?

So I just locate them outside the cgi-bin directory and give 'em a good path....I even put the image on the same line as the link.
