I have obeyed the instructions to the letter of how to do this, but the browser preview shows missing picture links. In the View Source I see that the code is showing the links to the main website Resource folder and not the one I specifically created and uploaded to.
i.e. www.mydomain.net/resources
is showing as the link, as opposed to: www.mydomain.net/email/resources
The whole thing works if I move the ‘missing’ picture files into the main Resource folder out of where Freeway has uploaded them to. But I presume this isn’t the way it’s supposed to work.
There’s a setting in the Action for local preview, you have to change
that to the opposite and publish to see the live server code.

Not that I know of. But try uploading again, once you have changed it
to Preview on Server, and then look at it in a browser. I think that
Preview Locally disables the URL rewriting that is at the core of the
Action. But you’d have to ask a human, like Tim, to be sure. Woof!

Thanks Rosie - I did that and thought I was quite specific in
adhering rigorously to the What’s New in Freeway 5.5 Guide for this
Action.
• Preview locally for building & testing.
• Upload when satisfied.
• Change pop-up to Preview on Server & view in a browser.
The ‘Preview locally/preview on server’ option toggles the rewriting
of the image paths. The option is there so you you can design your
newsletters locally and when you are happy with the design swap the
setting, republish and then upload to your server. The HTML created by
the action should now point to all of the resources on your server.
Resource rewriting like this is just a part of what the action is
doing behind the scenes. Here’s a brief rundown of the other heavy
lifting the action is doing;
Creates inline styles from those found in the document head
Pseudo styles (a:link, a:hover, etc) are be added to the document
body for clients that support them
All relative links are made absolute
Replaces Freeway’s PageDiv with a table
Page meta data is removed
XMLNS attribute from the HTML tag is removed
Freeway’s Internet Explorer styles are removed
All links open in new windows for the aid of web mail users
Removes references to class names and IDs (as long as they aren’t
being used by pseudo styles)
Removes all script tags from the page
Cleans up HTML output by removing empty lines
Floated images are set to align
Kryten, if you are still having issues with the action then please
either share a URL for the page online or get in touch with support (Softpress KnowledgeBase :: Softpress KnowledgeBase
) who will help you with this.
Regards,
Tim.

Thanks very much Tim. It sounds simplicity itself in the manual. Since nobody else has reported this, I have to presume it’s me, so no change there then.
