I brought this up here before, I think...

The email notifications i get from Pixelpost have a broken <img src>.

Does anyone know the fix for that?

Thanks,

Guilherme

I tested it, send me a comment by myself, received it and saw nothing.

then I checked the URL of the thumbnail and that was correct
then I checked the options of the mail programm, and what did I see???

Thunderbird was set: "show no images"

So!!!

please test one thing: take the URL of the thumbnail, open it in the browser and check if it's there

my URL was: http://http://www.photografitti.de/thumbnails/thumb_20050817234206_verrammelt.jpg

and that is correct

then, please., check your email-settings :rolleyes:

Thanks, Connie...

I don't think this is my issue... When I look at the HTML source for the message this is what I see:

<img src='http://www.fotogram.com/pixelpost/thumbnails/thumb_' ><br>

So the variable that resolves to the name of the image is resolving to nothing.

Thanks for your help,

Guilherme

add
<input type='hidden' name='parent_name' value='<IMAGE_NAME>' />
to the comment form.
the image name is not passed in your template.

I have a similar problem: the source of the thumbnail is broken: if I edit the email and add a / in the link, it displays the thumbnail in the email, but I could not find the code on my site, where I could add this character, so it arrives ok.

I have the afformentioned line in my code, so the problem is different to that.
see at http://blog.gelatinpixel.com

Also: how can I make my comments invisible (I added the comments to the image _template.html just like in pp_light) untill someone actually clicks on the comment link?

not sure where you're adding the slash. can you show the link before and after please?

copy the code from pixelpost light if that is what you want. of course you can edit the css to suit your design.

So here is the source of the email msg, highlighted the issue (with bold)

see the question mark instead of the forward slash? -- why is that?

I managed to implement the code finally - however the comment form only dispalys in Firefox, IE only shows the comments, but the form, which should be bellow it (the last item on the page) does not display. Do you have any idea why?

Thannks for your help, lots of thanks,
I'll stay online now (just run out for an hour) so we can maybe communicate "live"
cheers, peter
