Emoticons directory setting

[stryker]

Hi,

I was wondering why the emoticons directory setting is treated differently to the other settings in 1.7.2.3

I've setup a test bed on a Fedora Core 6 box. The directory structure is:
index file is in /var/www/html/blog
archives are in /var/www/html/blog/archives
cgi is at /var/www/cgi-bin
and emoticons are at /var/www/html/emoticons

The emoticons aren't located by greymatter if I use the full path /var/www/html/emoticons (following the lead of all the other directory location settings) but show up fine if I tell it they're in /emoticons. They're not in /emoticons though (the directory is under /var/www/html as I mentioned above)

Curious why the full path is needed for the others, but not the emoticons location?

Cheers!
Geoff

I think that field is actually looking for a web based url, instead of a directory path. The text next to the field says "either a website path (like http://) or a local path (like /emoticons).". Which I can see being confusing, it could specify a local website path.

Thanks! That does make more sense when I re-read it your way ;D
