UPDATE: Actually there is no bug? The feature we should be using is Link by UID and not Link Integrity. If we enable Link by UID in TinyMCE, we can move folders anywhere without the links breaking.
UPDATE: This is a Plone bug. We tested on a fresh new Plone installation and confirmed that link integrity breaks down in the following scenario:
When you insert images or attach files in a page and these images and files are in the same folder as the page folder or in another folder inside the same top level parent folder as the page folder, the links will not be preserved when you move this page to another folder outside the parent folder or to another folder within the parent folder but on a different level as to the page folder. That is, the images and files in the page will be preserved only when you move the move to another folder which is inside the same parent folder as the page AND on the same level relative to the parent folder.
When you insert images or attache files in a page and these images and files are from a folder outside the top-level parent folder of the page, these images and files in the page are preserved when you move the page to another folder.
That is, it is not advisable to upload images and files to a folder inside the same top-level parent folder as the page when you will be attaching the files/images it -- because you cannot move this page to another folder (except same level same top-level parent) without breaking the image and file attachments in the page.
======
We are using Plone 4.1.3, and having problem with preserving links when moving a page from one folder to another. That is, Link Integrity isn't working even though it is enabled in our Site Setup's Editor Settings (TinyMCE - Enable link integrity checks). Our understanding of link integrity is that we should be able to move a page to another folder and the images and file attachments in the page should still work. This is what we desire. However, now when we move the page to another folder, the URL of the image or file attachment in the page stays the same, i.e., a relative URL, e.g. ../../folder-xxx/xxx.jpg. So the URL will only work if we move to a folder which is on the same level relative to the same parent top-level folder. It won't work if we move the page to a folder on another level or to a folder outside the top-level folder -- because the URL doesn't change.
We don't really know when this problem started. It could have started when we upgraded from Plone 4.1.2 to Plone 4.1.3. But we are not sure. When we upgraded, we did a fresh install and copied the blobstorage and filestorage over. I think everything was fine after the upgrade, so we are really at a loss on what happened. We think we were able to move pages with the links preserved in the past.
Is there a setting in ZMI on Plone Site Setup for Link Integrity (other than Editor Settings)?
Please advise.
Thank you very much in anticipation.

When I upload image to WordPress, they randomly appear as broken links.
I can drop the files on the Media Library or Select the files and some files are always shown as broken.
I can delete the files and re-upload the same group and different images in the group can show as broken.
I'm sure it's nothing to with the images as they sometimes appear as broken and then sometimes don't.
Locally the upload works fine, this problem started happening on the live hosting - I thought it could be something to do with permissions but then wouldn't it show all the images as broken and not show random images as broken.
I don't get an error but a broken image icon. If I click the broken link it case me to the Attachment Details page. Sometimes the image does appear here sometimes it doesn't.
Some things to look for:
1) check if there is an .htaccess file in the wp-content/uploads folder or wherever you keep your images (make sure you have the option to see hidden files--I think they're available by default when you're using an FTP client but if you're in the File Manager of your CPanel then you have to enable this option, either before entering file manager or from settings when you're in the file manager depending on your host). If there is an htaccess file, you'll want to back it up and then research more about this before you make any changes to it. https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess_for_subdirectories
2) if you had tried to move your default image directory using wp-config.php make sure that has been set up properly
3) check folder and file permissions settings. it's best to do this in an FTP client because if you need to change the permissions, it can do it recursively and include all subdirectories and files within them instead of having to go through into each folder and change the permissions.

Our sitecore developer quit suddenly and I need to make a small change. I'm a front end developer and have no real experience with the sitecore backend. I just need to add some CSS styles to the main style.css file or I need to add my own file. I've got full access to the CMS, but no access to the hosting account. I'm trying to find the main CSS file through the CMS browser, but I'm not having any luck.
Can you help me either:
A) Locate the main CSS file so I can add some classes (preferred)
B) Add my own link in the tag to my own CSS file hosted on another domain
C) Use the home page link to CSS file where I can add some classes
A note about OPTION C... I'm in the CMS and I see there is a system folder and in that a CSS folder where I can add a custom.css file. Then I go to the home page and I can actually call that CSS file from a field in the home page BUT, when the site loads, even though it's calling this file, it comes over as .aspx and it's blank so no styles I set are applied.
you can find the location of file as suggested by Maciej or use firebug or any other developer tools to find the location of main style.css. Once you get the location you can browser the physical file on server by going to Sitecore start menu -> All Application ->File explorer . Download file using File explorer make your changes and upload it back, make sure you check override existing file when you upload. Also make sure you upload file to delivery server once you test your changes, typically you will be accessing Sitecore using Authoring Server so instance you are accessing might not be same as CD server.
You could right-click in your browser to figure out where your css is coming from relative to the server root. Although not completely fool-proof, this method may give you a quick answer.
According to documentation for sitecore 6.2, style sheet location is determined by the developer so it could be anywhere that the developer has chosen.
Take a look at this answer for more details.
You should also be wary of how code gets built and deployed. Most Sitecore developers have very specific methodologies for how they include code (including front end) in their solutions.
Make sure you're aware of any deployment methodologies your developer used, so that your work doesn't get overwritten in a future deployment.
Did they use a source control management solution (like Git or TFS)? Did they use an automated tool to do deployments (like Octopus Deploy)?
If you can find main CSS file in physical location, you can update the file with new CSS styles.
If you want to add your own CSS as an additional CSS style, you might need to create a new template for css link and use that template when you create new page with your own CSS.
Just for future reference, by default the location of the used css files is described in Sitecore.config like this:
<!-- WEB SITE STYLESHEET
CSS file for HTML content of Sitecore database.
The file pointed to by WebStylesheet setting is automatically included in Html and Rich Text fields.
By using it, you can make the content of HTML fields look the same as the actual Web Site
-->
<setting name="WebStylesheet" value="/default.css"/>
Paths are relative to the root of your sitecore installation, you can find default.css in the root of the sitecore application on the webserver.
In Chrome Browser, Inspect element and select source tab
and open required css file and make changes.
I'm having some trouble with an Umbraco website. Some times some Media files disappear.
The nodes still exist but the actual 'physical' file is gone.
Also the folder the media file was in doesn't exist anymore.
The users of the CMS are unable to log in on the server, so they couldn't accidentally delete the files them self. Only me and my colleagues have access (and we wouldn't log in to a server unless it's necessary)
I just checked the disk space, and there are several gigs on all disk available.
We did a migration of the media folder some time ago, so we thought it might have something to do with it. We have analysed the file system backup of the whole Media folder and those items are not there as well so we can exclude the possibility of a problem on the filesystem.
The version we are using is: Umbraco v 4.7.1.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.4868.25172)
If you clone content nodes with media files attached using an Upload property type, both nodes will point to the same media element. If you replace or remove the file on one node, it will remove the physical file. The original node will still have the reference to the removed file. This makes it appears as if a ghost is deleting images, but its Umbraco 4 deleting the file when you publish your change.
The best way to solve this is to convert your property from type Upload to type Media Picker.
I had this problem in sites around umbraco v4.5. I never run into this issue on Umbraco 6 and 7. But, on those systems, I use the media picker instead of upload for all media-like elements.
There are no issues I know of with Umbraco 4.7.x deleting its own media. It is possible to do it remotely, but that would delete the nodes as well as the physical files.
The only cause is the one which seems most unlikely, and that is someone has accidentally deleted them. I find this occasionally happens when deploys are done. Someone replaces the media folder with the one from the staging environment.
I have also seen an issue if files are copied across an RDP connection, the files being copied are not copied completely and in the process some actually disappear from the target folder.
But either way, I would check your internal processes, maybe move the media folder to a virtual directory to avoid the chances of it being overwritten.
There is one case in which media files might be deleted, and that is when you are using the Upload datatype on a document type.
What happened before on a system that I managed was that editors copied a page that included an image previously uploaded, but never updated the image, leaving the same path as the value for the Upload field.
In this scenario, you would have 2 published pages that have a field with the same path.
Now, if one editor decides to delete the page, the media file is also deleted.
This would leave the copied page with a broken link to the image and a missing image.
I am testing just the intranet workflow (and the plone_workflow) and notice strange things. (plone 4 and 4.1)
In a folder in which a user can do everything locally, and the folder is published externally, the user can add pages, links, etc. But when trying to upload images and files, user receives "Insufficient Privileges".
That sounds strange to me. Why is the user allowed to add pages, links etc. but not images and files?
Images and files do not have their own workflow, but they inherit the settings of the folder. Must be related to tthat.
edit I do not want to redirect pages, specific files etc. I would like to change the path where images, videos and other media are stored from the root source directory to the directory of my choosing. In this case c:/dev/prjfiles/prjname/public (c:/dev/prjfiles/prjname/ is my working directory) and i except when my html does img src="/pic.png" it will find the image in c:/dev/prjfiles/prjname/publi/pic.png. I need a working solution, i tried looking at how to set virtual directories and etc. I cant figure it out. Thus the bounty. I am generating the html, i am not writing asp:image runat="server" etc i am pulling data from a DB and outputing the html. The part that is still a WIP is the code that handles POST request. The html already exist but i cant have hundreds of files in site.com/here pollution my source directory (c:/dev/trunk/thisprj/thisprj/where my .aspx files are and i do not wish 500 .png/gif/jpg here)
I dont know how asp.net environments are usually set up. I am assuming i have a root path that is not available from the web, a bin/ where i may put my asp.net dll and a public where i stick in any files i want.
I would like to have my project files seperated from everything else. My JS, css and image files are in prjfiles/prjname/public with my sqlite db in prjfiles/prjname/ and extra binaries in prjfiles/prjname/bin.
The problem comes when i run my app and try to load an image. Such as /cssimg/error.png. My project does not find resource in my /public folder and i have no idea how to make it find them. How can i set my project up so it does?
NOTE: I set the working directory path so its at prjfiles/prjname/. In code i write ./bin/extrabin.exe and db.sqlite3 which access the files properly.

As #Murph suggests, your assumptions are incorrect.
IIS takes care of blocking HTTP access to any important files and folders like your *.aspx.cs, and *.cs in the App_Code, any DLLs, anything under the App_Data directory and the web.config.
Content files, such as *.html, *.css, *.js, .gif, .jpg, .png are all served in the normal manner.
In this way, there is no need for a "public" folder.

This is wrong assumption!
You have a root folder, which IS available in public. You set IIS or ASP.NEt Development Server to this folder.
(optional, but always needed) You have a web.config file in this root folder for configuration
You have a bin folder for your assemblies (each page or user control "include" compiles to a class)
(optional) You have App_Data as default folder for file-based DBs and/or other data files (say XML storage, ..)
(optional) You have an App_theme folder for styling and images. Read about ASP.NET themes.
(optional) You can add App_Code folder if you want to add classes to be compiled by the server.
You can create folders for scripts, etc...
Normally for complex logic, etc.. you create in a separate project outside the root and reference the result assembly in the bin folder.
Seriously, you cannot do ASP.NET work without an IDE or a manual. Visual Web Developer 2008 Express IDE is free and http://asp.net has tons of resources for getting started.
I don't know if I got the question right, but maybe you could try the <BASE> HTML tag.
HTML <base> Tag
"Specify a default URL and a default target for all links on a page"
There's a nice and simple example at W3Schools, check it out.
The negative side is that you need to put a <BASE> tag in each page you want.
It sounds like you should be able to create a virtual directory to do what you're asking -- but it's a very non-standard setup.
Keep in mind that IIS will prevent users from downloading DLLs and other project-level files, so you usually don't need to partition them off in a separate layer.
For example, just have a cssimg folder at the top level of your project, and skip the whole public folder thing.
I see where you're coming from. ASP.NET projects are set up a little differently from how you're treating them, but you can make them work like you want.
The root of an ASP.NET project IS publicly accessible. When you created your WebSite within Visual Studio, it created a default.aspx page right on the root. Are you hosting in IIS? If so, it's set up to serve up default.aspx by default. But I digress.
Here's how to make it work like you want (mostly):
Create a WebSite, then right-click the site and add a folder named "prjfiles". Right-click that folder and make another named "public". Create another subfolder of that one called "cssimg".
Now, if you want to use the image you mentioned, you'd reference it like this: "~/prjfiles/public/cssimg/error.png" (pathing starting with the root) or "./cssimg/error.png" if you're coming from a page in the public folder (relative pathing).
Really, though, you're doing too much work. Here's how to make it work with less effort:
Create your WebSite, right-click the project and add a folder called "cssimg".
Treat the root as you would the "public" folder- put your pages right there on the root or in subfolders, as needed. You can reference that same image file like this now: "./cssimg/error.png" (relative) or "~/cssimg/error.png" (start from root)
There's also another way to tell the engine where to look for resources, but it's for your css files. Inside the "head" tag, you can add a "style" element (with type="text/css") and inside that you can add something like this: #import '<%= ResolveUrl("~/prjfiles/public/cssimg/styles.css") %>';
Good luck!
If I correctly understood your problem, you're trying to find files which aren't physically stored on a filesystem folder, or stay on a different folder. You can deal with this problems by implementing a UrlRewrite mechanism.
I suggest you to read URL Rewriting in ASP.NET and, after, to take a look into this implementation: A Complete URL Rewriting Solution for ASP.NET 2.0.
If I understand all this correctly (please comment with any correction) right now all your files are together in the root directory and you use <img src="/img.png" /> and it works.
If this is the case, make another directory in the directory the images are in, say call that directory images and put the image files there. now use <img src="/images/img.png" />.
Done.
