Hi there,

Having an issue with K2 v2.6.8 and Joomla 3.3.6 -

When I add an image to a K2 item, it's adding an extra slash to the beginning of the image path, i.e:

/images/myimage.jpg.

Which breaks the image in the front end, because the image path then becomes;

www.mydomain.com//images/myimage.jpg.

I also have JCE on the site, not sure if this is conflicting at all, but when I add an image via the JCE editor, it generates the image path correctly ("images/myimage.jpg") and all is fine.

In my Media manager settings I have the "Path to images folder" field set to "images", with no slashes.

I've seen some other topics on this issue but they don't seem to of been resolved,

Could any offer and advice on this?

Many thanks

Hi. The path you are using when you enter the image is wrong. Use the editor button it should generate the correct path.

Hi Lefteris, thank you for your response,

The path you are using when you enter the image is wrong. Use the editor button it should generate the correct path.

- The editor button is the problem. Please see the attached screenshot.

I am clicking the "Select" link, which opens the standard K2 image browser pop up window. After selecting an image in here, the result is the image path has an extra slash at the start as shown.

I can fix it by manually removing the slash, but would rather that it work as intended.

Many thanks

This is not the editor button. This is an extra field of type image. The path inserted is correct. I just tested and works fine. The image displayed fine in front-end. Do you get the image displayed? If the image path is changed in front-end then probably a plugin is doing this, not K2. Check the enabled plugins of group "system".

The image does not display no, as I said, in the front end it's looking for the path:

//images/myimage.jpg

Which breaks it.

Every other reference to an image in Joomla the path is "images/myimage.jpg", so I don't know why the K2 extra field is adding an extra slash?

I have no third party system plugins running, just the standard Joomla ones.

Thanks for your help

I cannot verify the issue. It works fine on my tests under Joomla! 3.3. Do you have any SEF extensions installed?

No, no SEF extensions installed.

I do have JCE, which generates image paths as "images/myimage.jpg" with no leading slash, which work correctly.

The live site URL in my configuration.php is empty:

And I have also tried:

So doesn't look to be anything to do with that.

Is there a way I can change the code where it generates the image path to stop?

Thanks again for your help

No, hacking code is not recommended. You need to find what's causing this. Since i cannot verify the issue this is probably related with your current setup/installed extensions. Since the output is changed in front-end, it's a system plugin or content/k2 plugin that does that.
