I couldn’t find this in the forums so apologies if this has already been posted or is somewhere in the manual.

I am trying to change the resulting HTML after I use the File Manager to upload an image.

Right now the result is something like this

https://ellislab.com/asset/images/team-photo/image.jpg

I would like to change this to

https://ellislab.com/asset/images/team-photo/image.jpg

taking away the ending slash.

I’m guessing this is located in one of the .php files but where do I even start looking?

Thank you.

Have you checked your File Upload Preferences?

Yes. I was hoping it would be there but, unless I’m not reading something correctly [and there is always a good chance of that being the situation], it appears that from that control panel I can add elements before after and even in the resulting file code but I don’t see a way to remove or edit the resulting code.

Basically if I use the File Manager to upload and then post and image the resulting code looks like this

It works but I’m trying to get with the times and lose that last slash so that it results in this

Side Note: I just discovered your book/website. What’s the best way to be notified when the e-book has been updated and is available again?

Thank you.

The trailing slash never bothered me but if you wanted to bad enough you could use the file field tag pair at the template level to assemble the image link without it:

I have a mailing list on Train-ee (subscription form in the footer) for book-related announcements.

Captain’s Log 2014-0524: I thought I found the line.

Removed the trailing slash. Nope. Nothing.

The hunt continues.
