localhost, even from another machine.

[Matthew Pomar <ma...@hotmail.com>]

When Turbine creates the image URLs using $ui.image($ui.spacer) it includes
the full path including the "localhost" server. It does this even when the
site is accessed from another machine, which causes the images to be broken.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks,

If you're using the TDK and haven't changed Tomcat, then yes, you're 
connecting directly to Tomcat. Your URL has a port number 
(http://localhost:8080), right?

Add this to a Velocity page and check on another machine.
<br>server data server name=$data.getServerData().getServerName()

If it says "localhost" even though you went to the IP address, then I 
think you need to change a Tomcat config.

On my project, we extended the pull tool (we were using $content 
instead of $ui) to render the correct link which is, in our case 
"/images/image.jpg".  This way we are able to keep the control to do 
things like point all image requests to a different server if we like 
without needing to change the code.

I have seen this in both Turbine 2.2 and Turbine 2.3, running against
Tomcat 4.1.x (I think 4.1.27).  I couldn't get it working easily,
probably due to a configuration error on my part.  Nonetheless, I found
it easier to just point directly at the images (e.g. by putting the
images in /images and using img src="/images/image.jpg") and not use the
UI tool.

Are you connecting directly to Tomcat? Which Turbine and Tomcat releases?
