[ic] More about images in /pages directory

Fri May 25 19:16:01 2001

Hi,

Thanks for the tip - that did answer some questions, but...

1) Say we have an image in the /pages directory such as /pages/title.gif.
If we then go to www.foo.com/cgi-bin/storefront/title.gif, we get a message
that says:

Sorry, the page (title.gif) was not found
The requested item (title.gif) was not found. You can return to browsing our
catalog, if you wish.

So, for some reason it does not allow us to reference an image file in the
/pages directory even if we get to it via a browser directly as opposed to a
[page] or [area] tag.  Is there a way to make this work?

2) Also, the <img src="title.gif"> tag seems to add /storefront/images to
the image reference yielding:

/storefront/images/title.gif

Is there a variable similar to [set mv_add_dot_html][/set] which would allow
us to turn off the addition of the /storefront/images to the image source
attribute?  If there is not a variable, is there another way to accomplish
this?

Note: I know the easy answer would be to just not put images there, but the
application we are building requires it.  Thanks for your help in advance...

Jason

You just have to unset the scratch variable mv_add_dot_html, like this:

[set mv_add_dot_html][/set]
[area stuff.css]
