Change from messy to section/title
Another beginner question.
I almost finished my first site in Textpattern but left the Permanent link mode as messy from the start. When I want to change now the preferences from messy to section/title, the site still works, but all the images (links) don’t get displayed anymore.
Is there any other setting I have to take care of?
Thanks very much again.

How did you call the images (<txp:image />, <txp:article_image />, plain XHTML)? If XHTML can you post the code you used?

Hi Els,
Here are some examples:
<txp:section link=1 name=“Home”><img src=“images/BlencoweBooksLogo_84_112.jpg” alt=“Logo Blencowe Books” width=“84” height=“112” /></txp:section>
<txp:section link=1 name=“The-Stone-Testament”><img src=“images/STFront_W130_Short.jpg” alt=“Cover Image Book The Stone Testament” width=“130” height=“80” /></txp:section>
Should I have loaded the images via the images tab under content? I thought it would be good enough to load them as above with the path directing to the image folder.

No you don’t have to upload them through the images tab. Try putting a slash before images, like this:
<img src="/images/BlencoweBooksLogo_84_112.jpg" />If you do decide to upload them through the images tab, you can simply use <txp:image id="123" />, and the path will automatically be correct.

Thanks Els,
that did the trick. Can you possibly explain why I needed the forward slash just because I changed from messy to section/title?
Cheers

Re: Change from messy to section/title
Simple: with messy urls you never leave index.php, but clean urls fake a folder structure.
So let’s say you’re in section “blog” with messy urls: http://yourdomain.com/index.php?s=blog. This images/STFront_W130_Short.jpg would be translated to: http://yourdomain.com/images/STFront_W130_Short.jp
With clean urls: http://yourdomain.com/blog. This: images/STFront_W130_Short.jpg would be translated to: http://yourdomain.com/blog/images/STFront_W130_Short.jpg which obviously doesn’t exist.
By putting in the starting slash in front of “images” you are forcing the browser to start from the root of the domain, and not from the current “folder”.

Thank Mary,
Now it makes sense.
I’m really enjoying Textpattern more and more. Thanks to all you people answering my questions.
