Images in HTML email

I am using FCKEditor and CKFinder to create content for HTML email messages. I have it all working fine except the URL for the image contained in the email message. The URL turns out as a relative path rather than the full URL. I need the full URL for the image so it will be displayed properly what is the best way to handle this?

Re: Images in HTML email

To further explain my situation when using CKfinder to browse the server I select an image by double-clicking on it. The dialog box then shows a preview of the image and sets the path using the relative path rather than the fully qualified URL. How do I get it to automatically set the fully qualified URL rather than the relative path? I tried setting the baseURL in the config.cfm file to the the fully qualified URL but that didn't seem to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

config.baseUrl = "/ckfinder/userfiles/";

config.baseUrl = "http://example.com/ckfinder/userfiles/";

config.baseDir = "D:/websites/ckfinder/userfiles/";

Re: Images in HTML email

config.baseUrl and config.baseDir are just a helper variables. Apparently, when you've changed them, also path to the thumbnail directory has changed. Make sure that the new path to the thumbnails directory is valid, that such directory exists and is writable by the web server. Alternatively, don't use the helper variables in your path to the thumbnails directory and set the path manually to the old (working) directory.

Re: Images in HTML email

Wiktor, thanks for getting back to me.

Sorry, but this is a bit confusing to me.

The only two lines of code I changed are the two that I have documented for you.
I have not knowingly changed the thumbnails path. It was working before I made these changes so it must be writable.

Where is the path to the thumbnails set? It is within the CKfinder folder I take it but which file and what line of code am I looking for?

Re: Images in HTML email

Thumbnail settings in CKFinder for ColdFusion are set in the following lines:

config.thumbnails = structNew();
config.thumbnails.url = config.baseUrl & '_thumbs';
config.thumbnails.baseDir = config.baseDir & '_thumbs';
config.thumbnails.enabled = true;
config.thumbnails.directAccess = false;
config.thumbnails.maxWidth = 100;
config.thumbnails.maxHeight = 100;
config.thumbnails.quality = 80;

so in your case, if thumbnails stopped working, adjust the config.thumbnails.url and config.thumbnails.baseDir variables (for example instead of using config.baseUrl and config.baseDir helper variables, just use the old working values).

Wictor,

After changing the baseURL and baseDir to the actual URL and directory path everything worked fine.

Thanks for your help,

Roger

Re: Images in HTML email

Unfortunately I don't code in C#.Net so your code isn't of any use to me. I use Coldfusion, don't suppose you know how to do the same thing in Coldfusion, do you?

Thanks.
