Product images in /admin/categories.php

[smiley]

Hi,

I've secured the admin with https

Images are ok everywhere except the product item preview in

/admin/categories.php The rest of the buttons & images are even ok there.

 

My shared secure server is

https://xyzsecureservers.info/~username/filename

 

When I right mouse on the missing image - Copy image location - I get

https://xyzsecureservers.info/filename

 

No /~username

 

Images are ok everywhere else but it is dropping the /~username from the path.

Anyone know why?

The images do not appear in Localization > Languages as well.

 

Images display fine in the website & elsewhere but not in admin/catagories.php - product image & Localization > Languages - the flag icons.

I'm trying to chase this question down too. The best I can figure is that in the config file, the paths entered are mixed in application to the total uri construction. In some cases, the path is simply concantinated together and in others, it's following html conventions, e.g., /directory/ for the url https://www.host.com/~user returns the html implementation of https://www.host.com/directory rather than the desired https://www.host.com/~user/directory if concantination were used. The subdirectories such as images are concantinated to the catalog directory and with the catalog directory being absolute to the root bypassing the ~user, images get fouled. I just finished playing around with the config file for admin and if I got the languages/product images to show, the links within admin would get screwed up to different degrees. The closest I ever got was being able to view the images, have the secure server links work but all public links fail. This might not bother most but since I'm doing this for a customer, it will bother him. Not a problem for those who own their own server certificate but a real inconvience for those who use a shared server with an added username (e.g., ~user) to the root.

 

I'd like to see if anyone has a workaround for this.
