Just upgraded to 3.11 and all my images broke.

Checked Upload Folder URL and had to change it from 'uploads' to 'cmsb/uploads'. This is an undocumented change.

My only upgrade is one I did today on a test site that uses custom upload directories. I see a break in images links there within CMSB, but haven't traced the source or resolved it.

Didn't have enough time to test the beta, unfortunately.

Hi Jeff, 

Thanks for the report.  That's definitely an unintended change.  I can't reproduce it locally just yet but we'll have look into this ASAP Friday morning.

Do you recall what your upload url was set to before?  And where did the image paths change?  In the CMS, viewers, both?  And what did they change to?  Any additional information you might have would be helpful.

If anyone is having an issue related to this feel free to email me direct at dave@interactivetools.com and we'll give you priority support until we get it resolved and/or figure out what the issue is.

Thanks!

One other thing is that the example says:

Example: uploads or ../uploads (relative to current URL)

Hi All, 

Thanks everyone for the feedback, here's a temporary patch while we get a new release out.  Can you try this fix?

In lib/validation_functions, search for: function endsWith
And replace it with this:

function endsWith($needle, $haystack, $caseSensitive = true) { // v3.11 added $caseSensitive
  $expectedPosition = mb_strlen($haystack) - mb_strlen($needle);
  if     ($needle === "") { $bool = true; }
  elseif ($caseSensitive) { $bool = (mb_strrpos($haystack, $needle) === $expectedPosition); }
  else                    { $bool = (mb_strripos($haystack, $needle) === $expectedPosition); }
  return $bool;
}

And then revert any upload paths to what you had before.  The issue occurs with any relative paths not getting automatically converted to absolute paths correctly.

Let me know if that works for you!

And a further update on this.  We've patched the current version with the above fix and you can download it here:

Note that the only file that has changed is /lib/validation_functions.php.  

Thanks everybody for your patience and understanding and please let us know if you run into any other issues.
