how to change the path 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Hello,

I wrote further down about how to change the path of the podcast link.
I see there are other threads that talk about this problem but can't find any answer.
What happens is that once the link is applied to the podcast, there is a wrong slash at the end of the link address.
How can this be changed?

..../com_podcast/media/\550_intro.mp3 as an example.

thanks,
cheers,

Alan

Thanks for using the suite! Still trying to find a way that I can reproduce this. To confirm, is this website being hosted on a Windows server?

Yes on windows.

Anyway, in the meanwhile I'm just changing the paths in the html editor.
Let me know, and thanks very much for the module!

Ok, in the other thread, someone mentioned they had this issue. However, when I looked at their feed, it was fixed. Hopefully they're monitoring the thread and will tell us what the magic word is on Windows.

Hi,

I tracked it down in my case. We are hosting on a Windows platform. The problem appears to be in the building of the URL for the podcast: private function determineURL($filename). It is using the DS (DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) in the URL just prior to appending the file name:
$filename = JURI::base() . $mediapath . DS . $filename;

Windows uses '\' for DS, but not in URL's; so, I think this is where the problem is. It should probably just use the '/'.

Thoughts?
Richard

Ok, that's probably the problem. The DS is supposed to be for file paths and not for URLs. I'll fix this in the SVN copy and roll it into the next release. In the meantime, you can make the change manually. Thanks for looking at the issue!
