Guys, PLEASE PLEASE HELP!! I'm old(ish), you can see that from my boater!

I am desperate to fix a jquery mobile issue.

I have posted a couple of times but with no replies. I have since found the problem but I can't find which classes I have to modify. The are very deep in the CMS.

What I want is to alter the image insert pane so it alters images to have a leading slash. I then want to alter the save parser and image resizer so that it doesn't remove a slash that is there when it creates a new filename/path.

Here goes ...I have partly found the answer to the strange rewrites of /assets/image.jpg to assets/image.jpg. In this following real world example the leading slash gets stripped by the class that creates a new image size:

from
/assets/images/oldfavourites/Derek-2LR.jpg

to
assets/images/oldfavourites/_resampled/resizedimage250333-Derek-2LR.jpg

I'm not asking for a fix - I can do that but I cant find where.

I might add that this was posted to the net, thus showing how annoying this behaviour is. This is a classic case of shutting the door after the horse has bolted:

http://www.electrictoolbox.com/silverstripe-prefix-img-src-assets-leading-slash/

I suppose you are referring to images inserted into the TinyMCE editor, using the SilverStripe sidepanel? This isn't easy to find. It's handled by the javascript file sapphire/javascript/tiny_mce_improvements.js.

Somewhere around line 624, in the insert() function it says:

var baseURL = document.getElementsByTagName('base')[0].href;
var relativeHref = this.href.substr(baseURL.length);

Thus subtracting the contents of the <base> tag from the href. I suppose you could experiment wth adding a '/' to the front of the relativeHref, if it doesn't start with, say, 'htt'...

Mind: experiment! I haven't the faintest idea what kind of problems shutting the door in front of this bolting horse might get you into, in this case :-)

In the end I gave up and applied the fix I mentioned since although nuts, it was simple and will survive updates! I still think there should be an option to use root relative urls though (and jquerymobile) falls to bits without them. The fix is now in use at http://boatshow.co.nz

However thanks for telling me where to look. I still need to find where the image resizer does its work in stripping the leading slash too.
