Image path in Mysource matrix

Squiz Matrix Support
1

I have my images in folder called
site/media/images



Now when i make image live every image has different URL like 

    /__data/assets/23232/434343/as.jpg






Is there any way i can use relative URL like




    //something/media/images.as.jpg


Because when i make html in dreamweaver i have to use path like images/as.jpg

but when i need to upload to matrix then i have to manually replace those hardlinks like 
    //asset/23232/as.jpg

When you upload the image, you can check a box on the Details screen to not allow unrestricted URLs. This will stop Matrix using __data URLs, which it does to improve the performance of images that are live and public.

What Greg is suggesting, and I endorse it, is that you really, really do not want to do this.

I have allowd unrestricted access but still when i click on web path it shows /assets/32323/as.jpg

Just a guess but it sounds like you are working with image references in a design parse file? If you are then there is a way to reference them so that the link is generated the way you want. Check out the design manual for how you should do this.

Or you can just tell how to do it. :slight_smile:



If you are linking these images in your design parse file, and you upload the images as associated files of the design, you can use the special page of:


    mysource_files/


When you do that, Matrix will automatically expand the URL when the page is viewed.
