Icons on webpage

OK, I am a little stumped here.
I have changed my way of showing our race results on our website.

What I do is publish the results to my browser (firefox), the right click it and ‘Save page as’ an htm file. I then pop that htm file into our clubs webpage.
The problem is that I no longer get the sailwave emblem (or our club’s emblem) on the page. I do note that these pictures are saved locally into a folder when I save the page, showing the emblems locally but not on the web.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Cheers

Hi Robert,

You need to store the images on a Internet server and link to them from Sailwave.

Hi Robert - First, there is an option to save to file in the publish routine, so you could publish direct to a file which you can then send to your web site.

While writing the reply I see Peter has just replied and is correct the images need to be somewhere they can be accessed by anyone and the link in your Sailwave file needs to be configured to point to them.

Often this is somewhere on your web server but it doesn’t have to be it can be any web location that can host the image.

Looking at one of your files http://wlbc.org.au/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Pointscore-01.htm

Examining the source code for this shows that its looking for the following image

Inline images 1

http://wlbc.org.au/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Pointscore-01_files/swlogo66.png

This is where you have it configured to look for the image. But it would probably be simpler to have just one image somewhere and always use that.

The concept to remember is that the webpage does not contain the image it contains a pointer to the image.

Hope this helps - Jon

Thanks Jon & Peter,

I have changed the images to be on the WLBC webpage and the sailwave points to those images (at http://wlbc.org.au/race-results-3/).

That seems to work when publishing the results in sailwave, but when I attempt to copy the webpage in firefox I lose the images

I also note that ‘edge’ is sticking it’s talons into my browser and tries to take over. I am not sure if this means anything

Publishing direct to a file does not seem to work either

I will try again tomorrow

Hi Rob - If you publish to a file and then open that file - if you have the path to the image correct - then it will work. - Jon
