Relative file paths not working #229

Closed mattcooperwright closed 9 years ago

mattcooperwright commented 9 years ago

first up, really loving Pico. It's all working beautifully, except:

I've found an interesting problem when attempting to insert images into my markdown file. In theory I should be able to add a relative file path as in storing the images alongside my markdown files. However using htccess for nice urls means that the file is expected to be at:

domain.com/page/image.jpg

But the actual path is

domain.com/content-sample/page/image.jpg

My htccess file looks like this:

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . index.php [L]

I'm hosted using webfaction so my folder structure looks like:

/myusername/webapps/pico_cms

I hope that's all clear, any suggestions would be amazing

Thanks, matt

Hi Matt, glad you're exploring Pico!

That is the correct behaviour, relative paths should not be used. All requests which are not a file or directory are routed through the index/Pico, parsed by markdown, and then output through {{content}} in your Twig template.

You could create a static folder to host your public images, and use a absolute path in your .md files (e.g. domain.com/content-sample/images/image.jpg) -- or for images in your layout, you could create a custom theme/template and use a path relative to it by appending to the twig variable {{ theme_url }}/your/image.jpg

Hope that helps!

Hey, thanks so much for the great response. I'm glad that it's not me doing something stupid!

It's a shame though because i'm currently using ftp software to mirror a local file structure onto my server and so it could have been really efficient to simply use relative file paths - especially for my less technical colleagues.

But not a problem really. thanks very much. love the PICO!

Hi @theshka I'm exploring PicoCMS and I created a content-static folder in same level of content, and put a image inside but is not working as I'm waiting. I need access images directly.

Thanks
