Uploading a file has never been an issue for me. But trying to insert an image during the "creation" or "edit" phase has got me stumped. I have created a specific images folder through ftp. But no matter what I do, Elgg can seem to locate the file, no matter where I put it. It always produces a "broken" icon.
What am I missing?

You must log in to post replies.How are you trying to retrieve the file? More specifically how do you save it?

Retieving the file isn't of concern bro. It is when I am creating something to be downloaded. Everything works great, except when I want to insert an image in the description section. I put the url to where the image is located. But in the end, it still, only produces a broken icon. So I have to assume Elgg can't look inside itself to find it?
What is an example url you are using?
This could be anything from a wrong url, file permissions, etc. Why are you creating new folders via ftp anyway? If it's a theme change then put the images in the theme plugin. If it's a random picture just for some blog post or something then you should use the file/embed plugins, or create something similar to those.
