I have a quick question. I've been using this for months without problem and I love it. However I just posted in my forum with an image (linking the full path of the image, as I dont believe vBulletin allows otherwise...for ex: http:
www.mywebsite.com/images/filename.jpg...) When the vBExternal script parses my front page of the website (Non VB page...) it does it beatifully, all the text is there, links and formating and colors are correct, except them image doesnt load. It TRIES to load, but after a second or so the image loading indicator (basically a clear box) simply vanishes. The image shows up fine in the actual forum post.
I looked at the SOURCE of the rendered page, and found that the HTML renders incorrectly. The image src tag says this:
<img src="http://www.mywebsite.com/http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/images/correctfilename.jpg...>
Obviously this isnt what I want. But theres two problems that puzzle me.
1. Why, when the image path is directly entered as
http://www.mywebsite.com/images/correctfilename.jpg it basically throws that out the window, not only doubling up on the website URL, but adding the forum directory in there, and then
2. deciding... hey, I've screwed it up enough, after the forum directory, I will attempt to use the correct filename now. (images/correcfilename.jpg). What I am puzzled by is that would make sense if I had embedded the image in my post as "/images/filename.jpg" but I didnt. Somehow the script decided to insert "http://www.pinkjams.com/forum" in the middle of the correct url.
I've tried using "../images/filename.jpg" but VB doesnt allow that.
I'm imagining that there is something in the vBExternal script that I can edit to make it stop looking in the forum directory, but I dont know what, since Im simply a novice coder. Anyone got any suggestions?
PS: If you want to see the behavior Im talking about, visit
www.pinkjams.com . The front page has the script running, and the second post down has an image imbedded in the middle of it... for the first second or so that the page is loading you will see the loading placeholder and then it will vanish as if theres no image there at all.
