Updating Paths to Image Locations

Updating Paths to Image Locations for Site Collections or Subsites located under ".../sites/"

This document does not apply to "GLOBAL" installation of Core Theme files

    If your core theme files (CSS and images) are stored in virtual location(s) of your site(s), and not in 15 Hive (which is a global location for CSS and Images), and if your site's URL is under sites/ (e.g. http://YourSharepoint:RootSite/sites/TeamSite/, http://YourSharepoint:RootSite/sites/TeamSite/Blog, etc.), the CSS file 002_MT-CSS.CSS, and preview files (*.preview) enclosed in this package may not work properly.

    To fix the problem you need to edit *.preview files (002_MT-Master.preview, 002-Footer.preview, etc.) and CSS (002_MT-CSS.CSS) using SharePoint Designer for each site located under sites/ (if you prefer, you may use other editor).

    Previews
  1. Open the *.preview file in SharePoint Designer (002_MT-Master.preview, 002_MT-Mysite.preview, or mysite15.preview) -> Perform a Find and Replace operation (Ctrl+F) -> Click Replace All button -> Save the file (Ctrl+S):
  2. Enter following:

    for Find what:
    src="/Style%20Library/
    for Replace with: src="/sites/YourSite/Style%20Library/ - OR - src="/sites/YourSite/Subsite/Style%20Library/
    Find and Replace
  3. In SharePoint Designer click All Files (left pane) -> click Styles Library (right pane) -> Themable folder -> Check Out, and open 002_MT-CSS.CSS.
  4. Perform a Find and Replace operation (Ctrl+F) -> click Replace All button -> Save the file (Ctrl+S):
  5. Enter following:

    for Find what:
    url("/Style%20Library/
    for Replace with: url("/sites/MySite/Style%20Library/ - OR - url("/sites/YourSite/Subsite/Style%20Library/

    Find and Replace

  6. Check in the 002_MT-CSS.CSS -> Publish a major version -> Click Ok.
