Problem with IMAGE BASE FOLDER (sigplus)

Post by armando79 » Wed Aug 20, 2014 1:28 am

Hi
I have installed sigplus gallery and when I type '{gallery}banners{/gallery}' into the article window i get an error message

'[sigplus] Critical error: Image gallery folder banners is expected to be a path relative to the image base folder specified in the back-end.' on the front end.

Now I tried to change the base folder with JCE:
In Editor Profiles>Editor Parameters>File System i set FILE DIRECTORY PATH to IMAGES. Also in Editor Profiles>Plugin Parameters>Image Manager...

still the same Error.

CAN ANYBODY HELP?

The path the extension is referring to is the path that is set in the Media Manager (option "Path to images folder") - NOT in the Editor.

Review of the documentation at http://hunyadi.info.hu/levente/en/sigplus/documentation would be of help.

Thank You!
Ive also set the file path under MEDIA MANAGER to 'images' and followed the exact instructions of the link....still the same error message.
What is actually my root folder? The root folder of the server where it is on? Someone told me its 'mywebsite.com/joomla' .Where do I set this for sigplus to know?would look for the pictures under myrootfolder/images/

Because it said it would look for the pictures in myrootfolder/images/banners.

I actually pretty clueless.
And Thankful for any Help !!

OK so in MEDIA MANAGER OPTIONS it says: path to files folder:images
path to images folder:orangeweb.6te.net/joomla/images

im PLUGIN MANAGER >SIGPLUS steht Base folder :images

MODULE MANAGER> SIGPLUS Images folder:images

COMPONENTS>JCE EDITOR> CONTROL PANEL> EDITOR PROFILES>FRONT END>EDITOR PARAMETERS>FILESYSTEM file directory path: images

COMPONENTS>JCE EDITOR> CONTROL PPANEL> EDITOR PROFILES>FRONT END>PLUGIN PARAMETERS>IMAGE MANAGER file directory path:images

............>DEFAULT >................. file directory path:images

Im really clueless now. Maybe it doesnt recognize my root folder ? How do I find out?

The path to the folder has to be specified as a relative path to the root - not as an absolute path.

In the Media Manager Options, for the options "Path to files folder" and "Path to images folder", just have the value "images" (without quotes) and see what happens.

Post an image of the Media Manager Options screen.

In which directory (full path) the gallery images are stored.

What is your site's URL?
