Is there a way to configure either Live Writer or the MetaPost provider for Ventrian News Articles to support absolute paths on images and files?  Right now they go in as relative paths which messed up RSS feeds that include HTML.

Currently you need to open each article and manually correct the path - which sort of defeats the value of using Live Writer in the fist place and takes a lot of time,

Don,
Yes, that would be great.  We are using RSS heavily from a News Articles installation and none of the images are working.  Is this something that could be done quickly? 

This is something that I'll need to add as an option to metaPost and I haven't had the time to add it yet.  I've flagged this as an important option to add to the next release.

Until then, though, this is something you could address with a short SQL update script.  The data in the summary field in DnnForge_NewsArticles_Article and in the pagetext field in DnnForge_NewsArticles_Page could be updated with a script that looks for src="/Portals/ and replaces it with src="http://www.yourdomain.com/Portals/

You could even automate this by creating a trigger on these tables to make sure that updates and inserts have this same update statement executed. 

That would get you by until we can get an option in the product to allow admins to decide whether they want the images stored in an absolute or relative format.

Ping me again if you run into problems creating the SQL. 

Thanks,

Don
