For some reason, I'm posting recursive URL's to images. For instance:

if the correct URL is www.blog.com/sites/blog.com/files/images/blog-icon.png
then the posted URL becomes www.blog.com/sites/blog.com/files/sites/blog.com/files/images/blog-icon.png

What's up with that? I am using a symbolic link for a temporary workaround, but it's a terrible solution that consumes far too many server resources. It's unreliable, sometimes my images don't show up at all, and the image node title is displayed.

This error perpetuates into RSS and Views. If I link directly to a manually uploaded image, it displays perfectly.

Have you checked your node template? It looks like an incorrect call to l() or url().

I don't think it's a theme issue. The error is inconsistent (more often than not, the correct address is produced), and it happens in views, which doesn't use the node template.

How are you making your views if not with full nodes or teasers?

I have a view that shows a thumbnail of the attached image along with the title in a table in a block. I use the core Drupal modules (plus Image_attach) to display content in other areas of my site. The error occurs both in the view and in places where the node template is used.

You can see it at www.matthewpetty.org. Don't expect to see the error; as I said, it's inconsistent.

Something else that might help narrow it down: if the error is occuring with a particular image, and that image is displayed multiple times on the page (in the view and in the node itself), then the error will show itself in both places on the page.

For example, if you go to www.matthewpetty.org/blog/1, you will see a list of all my blog posts as expected. In the right sidebar is a block showing the promoted posts. If one of the images in a promoted post is suffering the bug, the image will be replaced by its title in both the main content area and the view in the sidebar. This bug is occuring somewhere before the theme engine comes into play.

So you're using the views fields from image attach module, I assume,
But on that page, the left side is just a node list, and the right side is a fields view.
So it can't be the field, since the field is only a factor on the right.
So it's some of your actual images that are maybe broken.

And what should I do to fix that? I have this problem with new images and older images.

Each of these images is uploaded with the node submission form via the image attach module.

If an image is broken, is it always broken?
If so, can you see what its details in the files and image tables are like? Do they look ok?
If not, what changes it? Can you get it to go from broken to ok in a page reload for instance?
Or does it depend on the position of the image in the two lists?

If an image is broken, is it always broken? No.

If so, can you see what its details in the files and image tables are like? Do they look ok? Everything looks fine in the tables... The file locations are stored correctly, but sometimes when the page renders, the output is described as in the opening post.

If not, what changes it? Can you get it to go from broken to ok in a page reload for instance? Yes. It is very inconsistent.

Or does it depend on the position of the image in the two lists? I have noticed no correlation to its location in the list.

If I can provide any output (page source, SQL exports, etc) to help, let me know.

I have same issue as reported in http://drupal.org/node/631474

Why the image is searched from /sites/default/files/domain-2/sites/default/files/... ???
Could be a views issue?

Pls help me, I'm not expert.

I can only guess those views were based on the old views integration code. Since that is gone, I guess that this bug report is bogus now.
