I recently tried to update to flix 2.0, but ran into the issue of intro images showing blank with the text: empty alt
Perhaps had any ideas what may cause this?
Just in case, when looking into earlier version dropdown menu bugs, my
Custom CSS is currently
.t4-offcanvas .t4-off-canvas-body .navbar .dropdown-menu .dropdown-item {
padding-bottom: inherit;}
Currently on Joomla 3.9.28 (since unclear if I should upgrade to 3.10x if not going to 4x yet) Thanks in advance,
Ninja Thank you for the reply, after the issue I reverted back to flix 1.0.3 so things are currently ok on my site. When I tried Flix 2.0 however it appeared no intro images were displaying correctly on homepage or categories. The images however did show on article pages.
As a starting point, should I go ahead and update to joomla 3.10x ? Some migration articles seemed to infer to hold off on 3.10x until ready to go to joomla 4x, but could be old news.

Hi
A full article page will show the full article image not intro image, make sure you have full article image also present in the article, if you can make a test site where the issue present i can have a look. 2.0 work for Joomla 3.10 and Joomla 4 as its upgraded for new version of Joomla.
Ninja Thanks for the offer to look. I updated to the latest 3.10x joomla which seemed to go fine, but once I also installed Flix 2.0 the alt error image issue is present again. (Current status of live site for review)
Ninja Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. As posted on the original screenshot, the issue seems to be anywhere an intro image would be displayed.
I've tried to keep all plugins updated. I don't have many in use, but ones like RokBox and RokSprocket seem to be working fine. Currently on PHP Version 7.4.26
Ninja As an update, I don't have much html knowledge, but using the browser to inspect the image links it appears something is causing an extra "/" on the img src=" areas
For example:
<img src="//img/gallery/fashion/leather-DSC0052-adj1.jpg" alt="empty alt">
Does not show the image
However this will:
<img src="/img/gallery/fashion/leather-DSC0052-adj1.jpg" alt="empty alt">
Normally when I pick an into image under Article Edit I have been using a link example such as:
/img/gallery/fashion/
This has always been fine before in joomla and other templates. In the article edit - image and links tab: It also correctly displays this name format when I hover over the eye icon to show the current image.
I see however I have a few where I entered them with no starting "/" such as
img/gallery/fashion/
And these display correctly on Flix 2.0
Ninja Looking normal now, thank you!
Perhaps a small template update is needed for others who may come across the same issue?

I see, well based on previous funtionality, it seems the core of joomla and thus most templates are setup to work with image paths using "/" at the start of a path as an option. Since it works at all, I can't be the only one doing it that way. Without your help I would have had to update every one of my article intro image links just to use Flix 2.0.
To clarify, I'm doing it this way since I like to keep my main article images in a separate directory from the default joomla images directory. It makes for easier update backups as most of the file space is taken up by images.
