Images not showing in forum posts

Hi,

I'm having an issue with putting a little walkthrough on how to install a software we use internally in our company. I'm using the default forum (same as this one), sqlite database, firefox. mojo is the latest version.

The problem is that the images aren't appearing. The source code shows this:

<img height="600" width="800" alt="" src_NeatHtmlReplace="/Data/Sites/1/SiteImages/Screens-CitrixEN/Citrix-Red-1.JPG" /><br />

I'm not sure what "NeatHTMLReplace" is, what it's doing there, and why it's not letting me show the images.

Images from the same folder on regular html pages show up fine, they just aren't showing up in the forum.

I thought maybe the images were too large, resizing them in the image dialog didn't help.

I'm stomped.

Re: Images not showing in forum posts

Hi,

NeatHtml is a tool we use to protect against cross site scripting. It is configured to allow images in the forum if they are relative to the site. There may be some case sensitivy bug in NeatHtml, its working for me but I notice your image has capital extension .JPG and mine does not. You might try changing both the filename to lower case the extension and then modify src for the img accordingly. That may provide a workaround for you.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Bingo, right on the nail! putting the extension in lowercase did fix the issue.

You're turning out to be the best tech support I've ever had, Joe! :)

Re: Images not showing in forum posts

I looked into this and it was not a bug in NeatHtml, its a regular expression I wrote to tell NeatHtml what to allow, and my regular expression did not take into account upper case extensions. I've modified it to acommodate files with upper case extensions to make it a little more tolerant, but it will still fail with mixed case stuff like .Png or .jPG

Best,

Joe

Re: Images not showing in forum posts

Hey Joe,

I got the same issue, but a bit more difficult.
One of the members of my aprilia site has tried to insert an image with the code:
[IMG]..../forums/picture.php?albumid=905&amp;pictureid=4726[/IMG].

Is there a way that those images come visible?
As you can see, that picture.php is rendering an image so no extension of .jpg, .png, ...
Would it be possible if users use such a format, that we can allow this "script"?
