On sharepointsearch.com we are trying to mirror in some of our vendors blogs but the orginal image paths are being rewritten. Example:

http://ba-insight.com/blog/images/ba-insight_net/blog/sharepoint%20appliance.jpg  becomes

http://www.sharepointsearch.com/blog/images/ba-insight_net/blog/sharepoint%20appliance.jpg

Tried a couple different things to resolve

1. a javascript call that recurses through the page after it renders and fixs the urls

2. create a censorship to replace back the url. but doesn't seem to work for mirror feeds

So anyone having this issue also or have a solution??

What is the URL of the RSS feed that has this issue?

That particular feed uses relative-to-root URLs, for example,

/images/blog_mondosoft_com/ontolica/2007/InstallerWelcomeThumb.gif

which, when rendered on your site would attempt to load the image on your domain.

Community Server ensures that posts and feeds use full URLS (including the domain name) to prevent this issue. 

Which version of Community Server are you using?

The feed is an external one, not from my communityserver site, we are on the latest release and SP.

Was kind of hoping that the process that reads in the external feeds to communityserver would or could fix the relative URLs on the fly as they are added, instead as they are being rerendered it is prepending our site name. Maybe I need a proxy feed reader to fix first.

I have try many combinations of censorships to try and repair durinig render but no luck.

I've logged this as an enhancement for mirrored feeds.
