Image trying to be local

Submitted by Harvey on Wed, 2007-11-07 21:45 in

Have just registered a new merchant, but images are not showing. When right clicking > view image, the url is in the format eg:

http://www.mysite.co.uk/www.merchant.co.uk/images/covers/UK/2/5/small/GQ21107204216.jpg

Have tried setting the feed format to 0, 34 and 35 (the normal settings), and even tried using the thumbnail field, but the same problem occurs.

It's a DGM feed, but seems pretty normal when viewed on excel. Any ideas?

Everything else on the feed works fine, as do the other merchants...

Cheers

Hi Harvey,

Double check this by having a look at the feed manually, but it looks like the Image URLs do not have http:// infront of them, so the browser is assuming that it is a local file.

If this is the case, it should be easily fixed by using a "Text Before" filter, against the Image URL field, and inserting the text "http://" (without the quotes).

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David.
