i having page.tpl and page--front.tpl in my custom theme, the images are only loading on page--front.tpl, please refer screenshot enter image description here

But for other pages for example user login page the images are not loading, please screenshot 2 enter image description here

When i inspect with firebug on the image src the url added with the "user" ,this is the reason behind why the images are not loading

The image links are the problem here, I think. The images are shown on the front page but aren't shown on other pages. So, on the front page it understands the image link (by adding the http://localhost/ in front of the image link you gave) but on the other pages, for example on http://localhost/node/3 it tries to show an image from http://localhost/node/3/sites/all/themes/custom/themename/images/facebook_top.png but there is no image on this address.

Therefore, use the full link (http://localhost/sites/all/themes/custom/themename/images/facebook_top.png etc).

  • thanks for the answer, but if we use full url, while we move to the live or any other places we need to change it as well as, so it's not good idea

  • No, instead of using static url such as http: //localhost use a dynamic variable such as $base_url (api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer!globals.php/global/base_url/…). So no need to change the url if you change the domain name or base url.

You can do it by changing to the text format to Filtered HTML or Full HTML

Then you can do it manually by typing <img src="url.jpg"> OR If you are using a module like CK Editor you can add it through the icon bar.

  • i used both Filter HTML or Full HTML but no use, try to understand the question that realpath of the url is adding with image src that is the issue, i don't want to use CK Editor or CK Finder,i want to add it using Drupal body text editor

  • Can you edit your question, highlight your code and press the {} icon, your code is not showing up because you didn't add the code tags to it.

  • You should use the block tpl instead of node. When you hover the edit button for a block, in the bottom left corner of your browser you should see a url like admin/structure/block/manage/block/2/configure so in this case since you see the #2 you use block--block--2.tpl.php

  • I suggest you move out the images folder from the drupal/sites/all/themes/mytheme folder and just move it to drupal/images so your code changes to Ex: <img src="images/facebook_top.png"

  • but it's not the structure i think. both are the just tricks, this is weird a famous CMS system don't have the simple option
