Almanac HTML Issue

dangarion · 04-11-2003, 02:05 AM

Almanacs use direct links to photo files. Thus if you upload your Almanacs the pictures of the players will not show because the links in the HTML are for the location of the photo on your computer.

Is there a way to have the HTML write correctly so it would be like a photo directory in the leagues directory.

Then one could upload both the photo directory from their league directory and the almanac directory and it would like correctly to the photo files.

Case in point

The players photo which exists on my home computer in this HTML file links to the location on my computer at home

file:///C:/PROGRA~1/400SOF~1/OOTP5/igyiggg.lg/photos/Miguel_Olivo.bmp

if instead it linked to ../photos (I think) and I had the photos folder on my webserver then it would show the pictures if they were there.

I'm not 100% sure it's like this if you have the game set to online league it will produce the files correctly. I do know if you upload a league via online league it does make the HTML files link to the server instead of the computer it was ran on.

Maybe there should be an option in the Alamanac to enable photos and for it to say if you want to upload that you need to upload the photos to a directory below that of the almanac (makes most sense there since then you can have all the graphics there for every year of almanacs instead of seperate for each year!).

Ok that's it

The same thing occurs with the team logos on the individual boxscore pages. They link to the location on your hard drive. These should also have a relative path for them.
