SMF Support > SMF 2.0.x Support

Moved to subfolder and images not loading

<< < (4/4)

Rommeo:
The sources I have found does not even tell about these. if you also notice, noone could figure out the problem which means none are aware of this. I did not move one level down, cause I have changed and modified many files. So as 'not aware of these', instead of uploading more than 50 files one by one, I uploaded all for one time. I hope that whoever are preparing 'howtos' emphasize  these. My first time using SMF but lost one point from my eye really.

MrPhil:
When I said "move one level down", what I meant was "move from root to /forum", not a SMF version change. That's usually far more easily done in the hosting control panel than by FTPing everything to a PC and back to the host in a new directory. However, what's done is done.

Note that you should check your attachments too. Since SMF strips off their extensions (filetypes) when it renames them, some FTP clients such as Filezilla will transfer them in ASCII mode, which is a disaster for images, documents, and other binary files. We're having a heated discussion about this over in the Bugs board.

I understood that you mean moving from root to forum. I did not change the version of smf. What I mean by change/modify is, I downloaded whole files to my computer, and changed many things, also changed the buttons etc. I m aware of that that can be done by hosting control panel and by other ways including FTP clients. But since I m not aware of this problem that SMF has and no warning anywhere about it, I dowloaded everything (also kept that as back up) and modified and uploaded back(which is the easiest way if SMF does not have a such problem).

Luckily I do not have that much attachments, since as I said it s my first time with smf, but it really lost a point from my eye, for a moment I was thinking of migration to 'xxBB's. I don't know what you support and what developers support, but I m sure that this is one of the reasons that people are not using smf. I don't think that I m the only one who is thinking about migration. And I m sure that some people are backing up by downloading the files is 'ASCII' mode (since all of the ftp clients are in auto mode by default and download them in ascii mode) and they are not aware of that they are not backing up anything actually. I also can not think about the loss when the form is some years old, luckily again my forum is not even 6 months old.. hopin that the developers are reading this topic and posts.

Anyways, thank you for your help and replies. I think they must make you admin here since you are the only one figured out what the problem is.

MrPhil:
Well, there'd be some things done differently 'round here if I ran this circus! The first thing I'd do is to tell the developers to set aside all the fun and kewl projects, and put out the next update with a whole bunch of bugs fixed. I don't think we're going to see that, though. :(

So bro do you still have a problem???
