i have images in my product pages that are pointing at the wrong url i made some change now im lost and don't know why this is happening, the annoying thing is i solved this before and cant remember how
wrong = https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/cast-aluminium-garden-furniture-product-ranges/images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg
right = https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg
any one got any ideas what setting i have wrong
Also the product pages links in category pages are pointing at the no sef versions
https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/cast-aluminium-garden-furniture-product-ranges/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=8&virtuemart_category_id=2&Itemid=501
but if i go to https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=8&virtuemart_category_id=2&Itemid=501 this solves the image issue
but the page should point to
https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/10-seater-sets/blenheim-oval-patio-set-detail which is working fine
so the injection of the top level Vm category is breaking all the links what have i done wrong? any ideas
How are you adding these images? If manually with an editor, what links do you have in the editor?
HTML link is
/images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg
is being translated to
https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/cast-aluminium-garden-furniture-product-ranges/images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg
it is this injection of the top level category in to the url that is breaking every thing
https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg works fine
the html in the page is
<td style="width: 25%;">
<a class="jcepopup" href="images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg" target="_blank">
<img class="jcepopup" src="images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg" alt="chair4" width="100%" height="NaN">
</a>
</td>
And it works if i change to
<td style="width: 25%;">
<a class="jcepopup" href="https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg" target="_blank">
<img class="jcepopup" src="https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg" alt="chair4" width="100%" height="NaN">
</a>
</td>
so it is seeing the base site name as https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/cast-aluminium-garden-furniture-product-ranges/ rather than https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/
If you want always that the image reffer to the website and not basedir do not use
images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg
but
/images/new/chairs/chair4.jpg
thank you for your the reply but the images that have disappeared in some pages seems to be an issue with SEF as if i turn this off i have one working version off the page.
With the virtuemart sef enabled i get sef category page names but the product pages are still no sef urls.
Category = https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/10-seater-sets/
Product, via a direct link generated my Xmap plugin listing all of the pages https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/10-seater-sets/blenheim-a-large-oval-table-with-optional-lazy-susan is the correct page url.
but if i navigate to the same page via the category product link I am sent to
https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=3&virtuemart_category_id=2&Itemid=859.
I t has always worked fine in the passed but is now not showing sef url in the categories.
Has any one got an idea why the categories link to the long url when the correct url is available for the same page. why is it not using the sef url like it was before.
Should there be a /index.php in the url
as https://www.fourseasonsgardenfurniture.co.uk/?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=3&virtuemart_category_id=2&Itemid=859.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Or you have a cache problem, so try to clear joomla cache or your template do not use SEF links(i really doubt about this problem)
If you are in your product, the previous/next products link are sef and back to category too, so i don't think that this come from Virtuemart.
thank you for your help but i have decided to roll all the latest changes back to a good build and start again
