    Dynamic file paths for images

    Ok, there has to be an easy answer to this that I am missing....

    I have a local install of Umbraco with a http://localhost/umbraco1 for development purposes.

    First, any images inserted within an article have an absolute address which breaks. For example: <img src="/media/99/picture.jpg"> really needs to be <img src="/umbraco1/media/99/picture.jpg">.  The RichText editor forces images back to the default absolute address. Is there a fix?

    Second, macros that load images need paths that adjust to your position in the site map.

    What I am looking for is something like this within the XSLT file

    <img src="{umbraco.library:SuperDuperNiceUrl('media/misc/picture.jpg')}">

    which will adjust the image path to:

    <img src="/umbraco1/media/misc/picture.jpg">

    Suggestions anyone?

    Hi,

    Is /umbraco1 a virtual directory with it's own application or just a regular subfolder?  I believe the above issue will happen when it's a regular subdirectory and not an application.

    Also are you running 4.7?  There was a bug in previous versions (< 4.6 ?) with the same issue when running in a virtual directory.

    It is a virtual directory with its own application.

    no, I just realize it is not version 4.7.  So, obviously I need to upgrade before continuing.

    Ok, this is upgraded. It is running at 98%. I might just do a fresh install of 4.7.0 on a host where it can reside in the site root. There are some new quirky issues arising requiring hacking. It just doesn't play nice within a virtual directory.  Thanks
