No images

[Pwalo]

Forgive my ignorance; complete noob at this but I've setup a new site using one of the free templates which will do the job nicely. All is well except the images do not work (blank with a red cross). I've seen the help file on maybe setting the Link for the stylesheet which I've tried but I'm either doing it wrong or it's another problem. Any help would be great.

correct the path to images folder

correct the path to images folder

 

From where??????

[spax]

The path is set from includes/configure.php, like this:

 

  define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

 

if everything else is correct, that will find the images directory, whether it be at root level or in a sub-directory. i.e. catalog

 

That said, templates are notorious for bad code. If the configure file is ok, right click on a missing image, select Properties and see what the path-to-image looks like.

Thanks Peter, the picture path looks correct ( http://www.coolbiker.co.uk/images/main.jpg ) and the includes/configure entry is

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

The images folder is under the root.

 

Thanks for helping!

since other images in the same directory do show, have you checked that the missing images have been uploaded, and have the correct permissions?

You need to be accurate with your problems. As Leslie said, being as you do have images showing, the ones that don't show probably aren't there. The category you have created, doesn't have an image associated to it.

 

There are lots of corrupt images also because they were uploaded in ASCII mode, along with the the text files. You need to upload image files in Binary mode.

 

For security reasons, you need to delete or at least change the name of the install directory.

Thanks for your help. Re Uploading seems to have sorted it.
