 Topic: Images losing their link
Posted: 31 August 2006 at 1:46pm |
Hi all
Quick question, has anybody had this problem?
I upload an image to my server via the upload feature in WWF, it does this sucessfully and adds the file to the correct directory (confirmed using FTP) and the preview looks correct, when I click OK the image browser window closes as you would expect and the image is displayed in the post. Now if I click Post New Topic the screen refreshes to show the orginal thread with the image in my new post - perfect.
Now the weird bit, I hit the refresh button on my browser, the thread refreshes, the text is fine, however the image is now not shown, just a image dead link symbol (the little white box with red cross). If I edit the post, and go back to the image browser, and manually reselect the image from the list on the left and click OK, the image is now displayed as it was before, I am able to update the post and if I click refresh the image stays without any further problem.
Has anybody else had this and if so, how did you solve it?
A few specifics;
I'm using 8.03 Access on Jodo Host, and I am uploading using ASPSmartUpload.

If you right click and look at the path to the dead image link does it look correct?

This is what the link looks like if I add an image stright from upload;
this is how it looks if I manually refind the image (using the method above)
It would seem it's not getting rid of the "temp" directory.
Thanks for your help Borg.

It could be a corrupted file, so first try reuploading the files again and see if that solves the problem.

hmmm... I installed a completly fresh version of the forum in another directory using a fresh database oppose to the active message board and the upload function works perfectly well on there.
Do you have any ideas to were this problem may be lying Borg - as I say, I have uploaded a completly fresh version of the forum but when I use it with my existing forum database it has this image upload problem, when I use a brand new access database it doesn't.
Also another small problem this has thrown up, I didn't realise that installing a second forum (in order to test) would cause my serial number for my registered WWF to stop working, now I have advertising on my main board. If I go to the admin panel and click "remove adverts" it simply says "Thank you for registering" - any ideas?
Thanks again for your help!

This is very odd behaviour and I can't think of an explanation for this so I will need to do some testing to see if I can find a solution for the next version.
As to your second problem, for performance reasons some database queries are cached in the web servers memory which can mean if you run multiple copies of web wiz forums on the same web site they can interfere with each other.
To prevent this edit in notepad the file 'includes/setup_options.asp' and give each of your forums a different application variable prefix.

Thanks for your help Borg. I will disable this function of my forum until a time when you can get it fixed.
BTW, I don't see it reported as a problem elsewere, however a friend of mine who uses your hosting packages ( www.driverscanteen.co.uk) is having exactly the same problem.
I've sorted the registration problem now, thanks.
