Hi,

I'm changing the images for headers and footers in my emails to customers.

And I'm confused about the correct way of linking to these images
Should {VAR:LIVE_SITE} be followed by a slash? Or not?

In the email order status notification you use links like {VAR:LIVE_SITE}/media/com_hikashop/images/icons/icon-48-order.png
So I added {VAR:LIVE_SITE}/media/com_hikashop/images/mail/myheader.png
With a slash after {VAR:LIVE_SITE}

But in the email templates you use {VAR:LIVE_SITE}media/com_hikashop/images/mail/header.png
Without a slash after {VAR:LIVE_SITE}
That makes me think that {VAR:LIVE_SITE}media/com_hikashop/images/mail/myheader.png is the correct link to add to the order status notification email.

Please advise.

Udo

Hi,

Indeed {VAR:LIVE_SITE} already has a trailing / so it should be without like {VAR:LIVE_SITE}media/com_hikashop/images/mail/header.png
Note that browsers and email clients are quite nice with us as the URLs will still work even with extra /
So for a browser www.hikashop.com/media/com_hikashop/images/mail/header.png or www.hikashop.com//media/com_hikashop/images/mail/header.png will be the same.

Thanks for your feedback. We'll remove the useless / in the emails in the next version of HikaShop.
