SharePoint 2007 asking for authentication for anonymous users

Ive been busy working on the campaign SharePoint Site collection which you can find at http://www.getset2010.com

On pushing it to the correct URL a couple of problems emerged which took me a while to figure out.

  1. An authentication dialog box for a picture
  2. An invalid picture

To cut a long story short to fix it I had to do two things.

  1. The pictures were 'drafts' and putting them through the (crappy) approval workflow fixed their permissions for anonymous users to be able to see them.
  2. I forgot to use relative URLS (or you could say the SharePoint Web editor wrongly defaulted) so the URLs contained the original vitrual host link instead of a relative URL.

You learn something every day...
