hi - Hopefully this is the right place for this post.

 

I'm having trouble getting an image to show up on the Start page for a forum I've just installed. Doesn't work with a simple img tag, doesn't work if I upload an attachment and copy the link to the page.

 

Ideally, I'd like to do rotating images on the Start page, but someone would have to point me to the code for that.

 

But generally, can anyone point me to some help that might solve either of these problems?

 

Thanks!

Hello!
I'm not sure if it's included with standard releases, but the CVS version has the image rotating script - look in /forum/forums/default for start_main.php
If you have a look in that, around line 73 should be the directory where images need to go, so change or create that and put the images in, and hopefully it'll start working (but I've not tested it; there might be more to do).

Start page problems are usually permissions problems but this doesn't sound like it.

 

What happens when you try a <img> tag?

 

Is it an XML-ly valid tag like:

 

<img src="whatever" />

 

not

 

<img src="whatever">

 

If not, try that, cos the documents are declared as xhtml so it might matter. Other than that, tell us more, give us a link if possible.

When adding remote content like images or Flash to your start page or even when linking to separate Javascript or CSS files you need to make sure the path to it is as though it were being loaded by the start_main.php in the /forum folder and not the start_main.php in forum/forums/WEBTAG/

 

Other than that what they said ^
