Hey Tom,

Thanks for that.

Im guessing it wasnt just a small change that I could incorprate into my instance of Umbraco?

Ill have to see if I can do as there are other stuff running on the production server so I dont think they would want all the Umbraco files in the wwwroot folder and I know upgrading to 4.6.1 involves upgrading .Net 4 as well as possible other things so I would have to see if they are prepared to do an upgrade and what the knock on effects would be.

Anyway thanks for your help.

I had the exact same problem and am also running Umbraco 4.5.2. I also can't upgrade as clients' server doesn't support .Net 4.0, so I had to try and find a fix somehow. After hours of struggling I finally found a solution that works for me. It's not a perfect solution, but like I said ... it works for me.

I just want to mention that I used umbraco for the backend and the nodeFactory for the frontend as the client already had a .Net website and just wanted to be able to update the news section.

In the Umbraco backend I had the same problem as mentioned above: "I have added an image to the media section and use the "Insert/Edit image" button to add the image to my text box. The image displays fine in the editor untill I click Save or Save and Publish.". I used a jQuery script to edit the image path and get the images to display correctly. I added the following script to the "editContent.aspx" (located in "umbraco\editContent.aspx"), right at the bottom (just above the "" line):

        <script type="text/javascript">
            $("#right").ready(function() {
                setImagePath();
            });
         
            function setImagePath() {
                if ($("#ctl00_body_bodyText_ifr").attr("src") == "javascript:\"\"") {
                    $("#ctl00_body_bodyText_ifr").contents().find("img").attr("src", function() {
                        return this.src.replace('/media/',window.location.pathname.replace("/umbraco/editContent.aspx","") + '/media/');
                    });
                } 
                else {
                    setTimeout("setImagePath()",500);
                }
            }
        </script>

Then for the frontend I used a string replace to fix the image path. Here is a simplified version of the code:

        Node node = new Node(-1);  //Get all data in the umbraco.config
        Nodes childNodes = node.Children;

        foreach (Node childNode in childNodes)
        {
          switch (childNode.NodeTypeAlias)
          {
            case "NewsArea":
              foreach (Node childNodeItem in childNode.Children) //NewsItem
              {
                string strImagePath = "";
               
                try    //Get Media File Path
                {
                  Media file = new Media(int.Parse(childNodeItem.GetProperty("newsImage").Value));
                  strImagePath = file.getProperty("umbracoFile").Value.ToString();
                }
                catch { }

                if (strImagePath != "")
                  litNews.Text += "<img src=\"" + strImagePath.Replace("~/", "") + "\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" />";
               
                litNews.Text += childNodeItem.GetProperty("bodyText").Value.Replace("=\"/media/","=\"media/");
              }
              break;
            default:
              break;
          }
        }

Hopefully it'll work for someone else or help them in the right direction.
