I'm in a folder call people. I want to refer to a picture one folder back which is the root folder ? how can I do this ? The image is called sitename.

<!--#img src="sitename"-->

should work

It would work if this was a DTML tag. Silly management. <img src="sitename"> <img src="<!--#var sitename fmt=absolute_url-->"> would be the best. the FMT of absolute_url will, naturally, do the full URL to the non-acquired object. This improves cacheing on the client.
