Hello,

Was wondering if anyone can help me out with this problem I am having.

I have set up an ILWWCM server on server "A" and a portal server on
server "B".  Portlets on server "B" are configured to call over to
server "A" to get content from ILWWCM.  Everything works fine, except
that images do not appear (they show up as a broken image).

When I view the source code on the portal server, I notice that the path
to the image is a local call instead of a full path call to server "A"
which would work.  Does anyone know how to configure ILWWCM so that the
image path that gets passed to portal is an explicit/full path and not a
local path?  Thanks.

Path used in content is taken from setting of ilwwcm portlet's edit mode.

James,

Which specific setting are you referring to?  When I open up the ILWWCM
portlet to edit it, under the Settings tab, I have:

Web Content Management Server Host:
http://mds34493.us.dci.discovery.com

Web Content Management Server Path:
/ilwwcm/connect/

A snippet of the source of the rendered page in portal (with the broken
image) shows this:

<iframe style="display:none"
src="http://mds34493.us.dci.discovery.com/ilwwcm/connect/?mod=AJEPortletModu
le&action=setAptrixCookie& AptrixSessionCookie=JSESSIONID=0000wiYCs
vDW1GY9sZ3
PGTTomnz:-1"></iframe>

<span class="oTitle">Test Title</span><br><br><IMG
SRC="/ilwwcm/resources/image/468000042b54fc08/testimage.jpg"
HEIGHT="140" BORDER="0" WIDTH="219" ><br><br>Test Content<br><br><a
href="http://www.discovery.com/" target="_blank">> Test Link</a>


You will notice that the iFrame reference is fine as it is an explicit
call out to the remote ILWWCM server (mds34493). Unfortunately, the
image reference is relative when I need it to be explicit. If I change
either of the two settings above, the portlet does not render as the
iFrame call gets hosed.  The portlet expects the ILWWCM server to be
local else it would not just put out a local reference to the image. If
there is something in the portlet edit mode that you can edit to get
around this, I am obviously missing it.  If you could provide a bit more
detail to you initial response, that would be of great help.  Thanks.

James,

Never mind. I just figured it out.

On the content portlet, under the "Links" tab, I had set the "Receive
Links From" variable to "None".  By switching it to "This portlet" or
"Other portlets and this portlet" the image appears.  A view of the
source code shows that the image path is now explicitly defined under
this setting.

So the lesson learned here is to make sure that the "Receive Links From"
variable is set to "This portlet" if your portlet content references an
external file like an image or PDF document.

Thanks for your help!

Keith,

We have a slightly different situation here for aptix.

The content links work but the
session cookie link does not.

The session link on the browser is
<iframe style="display:none" src="http://10.194.163.246:9084/ilwwcm/connect/
?mod=AJEPortletModule&action=setAptrixCookie&AptrixSessionCookie=JSESSIONID=
0000mrmPEgQYF-YdStNhM_3rdEu:-1"></iframe>

where as the link to the content is
<p align="left"> <a class=contrastHeading href='/wps/myportal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A
/7_0_AAM/.cmd/ad/.ar/1345295282/.c/6_0_32N/.ce/7_0_AAP/.p/5_0_3CM/.d/0?Aptri
xContext=http://10.194.163.246:9084/ilwwcm/connect/Public+Portal/MSF+Home/Po
sition+Vacancies/Accountant'>

The problem with the session cookie linkis that the aptix server is in a 10 
dot subnet and of course is not accessible directly from the internet.

Do you have any idea on how we might solve this?

Thanks for any info on this,

Tim
