Koen Colen	Wednesday 24 January 2007 8:12:47 am Thanks for the quick reply Kracker. Still I cannot get it to work. Is it normal that I have to create the folder inside the design directory myself (that it's not created by the system during install or during the creation of a new sitestyle package)? Currently I have 3 folders in the design directory (admin, base & ezwebin), do I have to create a new one with the same name as the siteaccess ? Correct me if I'm wrong please: - media that belongs to a sitestyle goes into the "var/storage" directory during install of sitestyle, content writers cannot mess with it. - media that's not in the sitestyle but that I like to add in a template afterwards (like the menu_sign.jpg), I copy to the design directory - media that can be inserted in the content of pages gets uploaded by the user to the media library and gets stored in the "var/ezwebin_site" folder I really want to get my head around this Exponential thing, I sense it's very powerful with the object approach on almost anything. Kind of a lot to start with but I'm pretty sure that pays off afterwards in flexibility. Tnx!

A question,
in pagelayout.tpl I want to display an image...

If I run this in my browser the source code looks like this...

What can I be doing wrong? I like the path to be perpended by the path to the folder my images are in like...

var/storage/packages/local/new_design/files/default/file/images/menu_sign.jpg

I also tried uploading the menu_sign.jpg image in the media library but that doesn't work either.

Another question. Can I orden my images in the "var/storage/packages/local/new_design/files/default/file/images" folder?
I mean can I make subfolders in that folder like "icons", "buttons" or are those locations kept in the db someway or another so I don't have to mess with it?

Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

You can use an image uploaded inside Exponential by writing a fetch to get the image and it's details from the content structure.
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/modules/content/fetch_functions/list

Yet I would recommend, first moving your image into your design folder's image folder. Example: design/exampledesign/images/

After doing this, your example source code is close but not quite correct. Try changing your code to look like this ...

<img src={"menu_sign.jpg"|ezimage} width="149" height="57" alt="" border="0" />

This will output the design folder's location and the file similar to '/design/exampledesign/images/menu_sign.jpg'.
