[#14164] - Image link is broken in Offline page if accessed not from root
- Closed

- Build: staging
- # 14164
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Set an "Offline Image" in Global Configuration
- Set the site Offline
- I assume SEF URLs must be on for this to happen
- Try to visit the website by accessing a Menu Link or a Category Link (anything but the root homepage)
Expected result
- The offline image should be displayed with "/images/path/name_of_the_image.jpg" with leading slash so that it always refers to the root
Actual result
- The offline image is displayed without the leading slash ("images/path/name_of_the_image.jpg") so the path turns into "link_path/images/name_of_the_image.jpg" resulting in a broken link.

To me it also happened with the default protostar template.
I am not able to reproduce this issue using "default protostar" template or "Beez3" template on Joomla 3.6.5.
.
I cannot confirm this either

Hello,
I tested this further. I noticed this happens with sh404sef installed. Apparently it's because, with sh404sef installed, the browser path is kept in the URL bar when the site is offline, while with default Joomla it redirects the browser path to the root.
Since the path is redirected to the root, the image is displayed correctly in default Joomla, because we're always in the root.
However, it is still technically wrong to have the image code without the leading slash. It's more correct to directly specify to start from the root. Adding the leading slash fixes the problem with sh404sef enabled and doesn't harm anything for the default Joomla.
Now, of course, everyone have their own template and can fix it in their own template, which I did. But just for perfectionism, should/could be added to the default Joomla template behavior too.

I am closing this as the core is working correctly and it is an extension that is breaking the behaviour. If you really want to see the core being changed then please submit a pull request with the changes for consideration
