HtmlEditor - An uploaded image path is constructed incorrectly when a URL contains different route tokens

created 9 years ago (modified 9 years ago)

I've done a bit of research online, but haven't found an answer to my exact scenario. I have an html editor that is bound to a model property. When attempting to insert an image from my local computer, the upload works normally. However, the thumbnail is a broken image icon both in the select image as well as the html editor. If i look at the html the image src is <img src="…/Content…", If I delete the "…" and change it to <img src="/Content…" the image shows up in the editor. Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks in Advance.

    Hello Sylvan,

    It is difficult to determine the cause of the issue without reviewing the code that you are using. Please provide us with code snippets, which should allow us to reproduce the issue from scratch. Alternatively, send us a sample working project demonstrating the problem in action. We will do our best to determine its cause.

      I have attached a copy of the _HTMLPartial View, Edit View, and Controller that are being used.

          Hello,

          I have reviewed the provided source code files and suggest that you check the following points:

          1. Make sure that DevExpressEditorsBinder is used instead of the Default Model Binder. See the KA18701: MVC Data Editors - Model Binding and Editing KB Article for more information.
          2. Avoid using nested form tags in the Edit View:

          Current state:

          C#
          @using (Html.BeginForm())  
{  
...  
    <form>  
        @using (Html.BeginForm())  
        {  
            @Html.Action("HtmlEditorPartial", Model)  
        }  
    </form>  
...  
}

          Suggested approach:

          C#
          @using (Html.BeginForm()) {  
    ...  
    @Html.Action("HtmlEditorPartial", Model)  
    ...  
}

          If this does not help, please provide us with a self-contained project (for example, created via the DevExpress Template Gallery -> MVC -> Web Application -> Standard and HtmlEditor inserted via the Insert DevExpress MVC Extension Wizard) that reflects your implementation, actual and expected results (for example, with some screenshots of the F12 -> Dev Tools -> Html Inspector).

              I appreciate the response. Thanks for catching my nested form tags, should have caught that. I've narrowed the issue down. The image upload works as expected when the url is http://localhost:1422/Templates/Create, but when it has the id in the URL: http://localhost:1422/Templates/Edit/5, I get a not found exception because the upload images filepath is looking for "~/Template/Content/UploadImages" instead of "~/Content/UploadImages" (Even though the directory is set to "~/Conten/UploadImages". Any ideas/suggestions would be helpful. The project I am having difficulties with is too large to upload (40MB vs. the 30MB Max), but I'll work on getting one uploaded.
