Repair Article Images
I’ve just noticed that a number of images from older articles are no longer displaying.
In the articles I have <img src=“images/…… instead of the full URL <img src=“http://www.the-rock-of-gibraltar.com/images/ which I have been using more recently.
Obviously the images displayed correctly when the articles were first published.
Have I changed something in TXP or has TXP changed so it now needs the full URL?
Either way I wondered if Stef or some pattern matching whizz could help me out?
Thanks
Geoff
Edit … I used to use Hak Tinymce to insert images until 4.2.0 when I remember I had problems … would this be the reason?

I don’t think so. Depends how far you’ve upgraded or if you’ve moved the site from, say, a sub-dir install to a root domain. images/img-name.jpg may not resolve to the correct URL in certain circumstances that are probably host-related.
Couple of approaches I can think of to fix this:
- an .htaccess rule to rewrite
images/img-nameto/images/img-name(don’t ask me for the rule… I’m a complete tool at htaccess stuff!) - A mass update on your textpattern table to replace
img src="images/"withimg src="/images/"in the Body and Body_html columns — I can help with that if you get stuck

Thanks, Stef, Els

I’ve upgraded from 4.0.8 to 4.2.0
Yes I have changed host.
I’ve just tried lam_search_replace – thanks Els, but I’m afraid it didn’t work.
When the plugin reports it changed 0 occurrences there’s an image not found placeholder which resolves to
'</strong>%20were%20found.</td></tr><tr><td%20colspan=I don’t think it likes searching and replacing html tags?
I often thought a replace function on Stef’s “Where Used” plugin would be very useful.
I’d guessed it wasn’t included because it could cause havoc if not used properly.

Re: Repair Article Images
I can’t help you with the actual MySQL query, but I just thought of a possible temporary solution; if it works you could use it until you manage to change the db entries.
Using rah_replace, assuming that the img tags are in the article body, put this around the <txp:body /> tag:
<txp:rah_replace from='src="images/' to='src="/images/'>...</txp:rah_replace>Not tested ;)
Edit: of course this only changes the output, not the actual db entry.

Txp and these forums are fantastic.
Thanks again
