I am using website 2.3 and have within layout.xml:
<tocentry page="myfile.xml" dir="mydir" filename="myfile.html"/>
myfile.xml contains:
<mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="../graphics/mygif.gif
" format="GIF" width="50%" align="center"/></imageobject></mediaobject>
which works fine. Using "./graphics/mygif.gif" in fileref, the browser
will look in mydir/graphics. Using "/graphics/mygif.gif" the browser will
look in the root directory of the server. I would like to keep all of my
graphics in one place but I don't want to have to keep track of how many
".."s to use when using the "dir=" attribute of <tocentry>. Is there a way
to reference files relative to the root directory of the website (as
opposed to the root directory of the server)?
Hi Kevin.
Sorry, no.
Same as you, I use whatever root I'm building for and create the graphics
directory there.
I tend to have the majority of files two levels down, so its nearly always
the same relative
location which makes it easier, i.e. ../../graphics .
I don't think there's a magic bullet.... unless.
No (Or I didn't find it)
I was looking for a parameter to set the basic graphics path base.
There is
<xsl:param name="admon.graphics"
where to look for warning graphic,
but there is no base path, which would solve your problem.
