xinha relative image url fix?

[Jabrwock]

I use mod_rewrite, and xinha was setting urls to the relative image path (instead of /s9y/uploads/image.jpg it was putting uploads/image.jpg which was making the image fail to load on archived entries because it was looking for archives/.../uploads/image.jpg)

so I finally figured out how to modify .htaccess to fix this.

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^archives/[0-9]+-[0-9]+/[0-9]+/uploads/(.*) uploads/$1 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/[0-9]+-[0-9]+/[0-9]+/images/(.*) images/$1 [NC,L,QSA]

This causes the archives/.../article.html's image urls to be properly referred to /s9y/uploads/ and /s9y/images/ as well as any sub-folders.

If I tried to enter absolute paths in xinha's html editor, it would replace it with http://server/uploads/image.jpg.

Yes, sadly this is an hard issue of the Xinha plugin, which was already existing in previous HTMLArea versions.

I patched it with a lot and trial and error in the HTMLArea editor that's bundled with serendipity, but had no time to look into Xinha yet.

So it's actually a Xinha bug, or "mis-feature" that needs fixing. Maybe it's even an option that could be turned off, but I'm not experienced very much with the WYSIWYG editors.

Best regards,

I suspect it's a "feature", as it was mentioned in their forums that IE has some issues with absolute addresses that are missing the server IP. But I submitted a ticket anyway asking if there was a way to turn that off...
