Read More Problem

According to https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/bloginfo stylesheet_directory is deprecated.

Try template_directory, see if it works for you.
Or try <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/images/readmore_big.gif'); ?>

Thanks a lot for the information, I did replace stylesheet_directory with template_directory in my files. I tried :

<?php $path = bloginfo('template_directory');
the_content('<img src="' . $path . '/images/readmore_big.gif"
class="alignright">'); ?>

But it did not work either, unfortunately. I did try your second suggestion but I fear that I haven’t put it properly into the code. I’m quite only an amateur when it comes to php. Here’s what I did with your second suggestion :

<?php the_content('<img src="<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . \'/images/readmore_big.gif\'); ?>" class="alignright">'); ?>

Didn’t work either, many thanks for your info though. Is it even possible to do what I want to do?

I think it should be possible to do it, it’s just a matter of finding the right code.

You have backslashes here \'/images/readmore_big.gif\, is perhaps this not making it work?

Also, instead of

<?php $path = bloginfo('template_directory');
the_content('<img src="' . $path . '/images/readmore_big.gif"
class="alignright">'); ?>

try

<?php the_content('<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/readmore_big.gif" class="alignright" />'); ?>

OK, I just looked some old files I had…

1 – Try template_url instead of template_directory

2 – I tried to edit the code above, but it wouldn’t let me add a slash…. before the very closing of the img tag, there is a missing slash

<?php the_content('<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/readmore_big.gif" class="alignright" />'); ?>

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>//images/readmore_big.gif" class="alignright" />

I added an edit to the above post, and it was eaten away….

here it goes again…

CORRECTION – I looked into some other files I had
try template_url, instead of template_directory

Also, there is a closing slash missing in the image tag

<?php the_content('<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/readmore_big.gif" class="alignright" />'); ?>

or simply

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/readmore_big.gif" class="alignright" />

For some reason the correction I am trying to post gets eaten away…

let me just explain… I looked into some other files that I had and the reference was to template_url, rather than template_directory

Try that

Also, note that there was a missing closing slash in the img tag, so I added it in the last code posted, after alignright.

test post, as anything I add here gets eaten away and doesn’t post…

See if this works for you!

Sorry for all the duplicate posts, they weren’t posting earlier, now they are all appearing… mods, please delete

Thanks for all the support buddha trance. I finally found(absolutely randomly) the way to get all this working. The problem was the function bloginfo(). I tried to do the same with get_bloginfo() and voilà, everything’s working perfectly.

Here’s the code I put in header.php so I don’t have to type this ever again:

<?php global $path;
$path = get_bloginfo('template_url');
?>

and the code I put into the_content():

<?php the_content('<img src="'.$path.'/images/readmore_big.gif" class="alignright" />'); ?>

Thanks again for helping me out!
Ben.
