PDF view expects absolute paths for images

I'm using 1.6.3 and it seems the PDF view feature expects the absolute paths to images. It doesn't work with relative ones. Here are the apache logs which reveal this problem:

Code: Select all

- [Fri Aug  4 01:10:33 2006] [error] [client 213.88.146.43] File does not exist: /home/gargoyle/web/dcpp.net/images/image28778.gif 
- [Fri Aug  4 01:10:33 2006] [error] PHP Warning:  getimagesize(http://dcpp.net./images/image28778.gif): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n in /home/gargoyle/web/dcpp.net/phpmyfaq.1.6.3/inc/pdf.php on line 539

The correct path for the image is www.dcpp.net/faq/images/image28778.gif. In the actual FAQ source code, the image is referenced by:

Code: Select all

...src="./images/image82392.gif" />

Hi,
thanks for submitting the issue. We'll try improve the way we're building the absolute path.
In the mean time my suggestion is to remove the dot char: I suppose you manually edit the HTML code for your faq record 'cause usually the WYSIWYG editor inserts images with a path starting with "/images/", without the dot prefix.

Regards,
