Links to Preview File

[bdenford]

Hi, Might be silly question time, but i am a little stumped.

I have a folder that lists a directory of images, when i click on an image i get an error

“Object Not Found”. I looked at the link to the file and it displayed like this

http://192.168.101.250/intranet/databuckinghamarmsLogos/elk.jpg

Notice that the “” are around the wrong direction, if i manually edit the path to be

http://192.168.101.250/intranet/data/buckinghamarms/Logos/elk.jpg

the image previews correctly.

I am sure this is something very simple but i cannot work it out. Any help would be great.

Thanks For your help

@bdenford. Thanks for using my module. Are you running Joomla on a Windows web server? Persons with this problem normally are running their site on a windows IIS server. The issue is that Joomla uses “DS” as an alias for “DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR”, which for linux-based web server translates to forward slash or “/”, but for windows based web servers translates to backslash or “”. There isn’t much I can do about it, since Joomla uses it in its code, which I use. However, if you really need to get it working, you could edit the helper.php file and do something similar to: http://support.michaelgilkes.com/topic/hyperlink-to-files-inside-folder#post-114
