We have books that we host which we import a copy of and host on the Pressbooks Network. There are images missing from the imported version hosted on the PressBooks Newtwork.
I’ve found that image src URL is different in the book on Pressbooks Network versus the book we host. Problematic images have #fixme appended to the end of the src URL.
Where did the #fixme come from and how can I fix these images?
Thank you!
Hi Heather – this usually happens during a clone or import routine where we’re unable to locate the source image. In this case, it may be because the images in the source book aren’t hosted in the book, but are being provided by external CDN. Not sure if that’s what’s happening here, but we’re happy to look into it for your hosted network and hopefully suggest method for fixing quickly. Can you email URLs of the two books and any details about how you cloned/imported them from one location to the other to us at premium support?
In this case, I went to the original book. It looks like the path for this image is currently: https://content-cdn.one.lumenlearning.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2023/03/01150545/1024px-Margaret_Floy_Washburn.jpeg
. In the clone, it looks like it is https://content.one.lumenlearning.com/introductiontopsychology/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2023/03/1024px-Margaret_Floy_Washburn.jpeg#fixme
. My suspicion is that whenever this clone/import was made, the image was pointing to that latter URL, which no longer exists, as the media has been moved to a CDN server. Does that sound possible?
HI Steel,
Thank you for responding! The books on the Pressbooks Network have been recently imported. Both image paths have the same segments of 14/2023/03
which looks like it could be the date the image was uploaded. It’s also interesting that it doesn’t affect all images. Images hosted on AWS have the correct path in both versions of the book.
