FS based product and image replacement
Hi *, I'm trying to use image replacement in a FS product, but unfortunately I'm not able to catch the image on the FS (a simple gif). The image is inside 'myproduct/images', what I've tried is to create an ImageFile and use it inside the background-image directive inside the stylesheet, but also url("images/foo.gif") with and without the absolute url. How do people use image replacement in FS based products ? TIA, ngw --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail: gratis 1GB per i messaggi, antispam, antivirus, POP3
Hi Nicholas. You want to put your images, templates, script pythons etc that you want to be available in a skin folder for your product. Then you make skin folder a DirectoryView as part of your product development and install so that the DirectoryView is installed with portal skins. Once you have a successful install, you can verify that your skin folder in the appropriate skin paths you want by using the Properties tab in portal skins tool. Your images, templates and scripts - whatever you have included in the skin are now available globally to your application. All you have to do is reference the image or object by its id to get a handle on it. As far as images, when you use an image in a zpt, you can look at the source and the full url is made. Here is a link to a product that illustrates how to do this for ExampleFileSystemSkin product : http://sourceforge.net/project/ showfiles.php?group_id=55262&package_id=99640 With stylesheets, this is dtml. You can look at the zpt stylesheets in CMF in its skin folder to get the idea of how to use the portal_url or properties from a properties sheet to create your css. Generally, you would use portal_url in conjunction with the image to give you the full image path the css that is rendered. Hope this helps.

"ImageFile" works. You must do something wrong. What happens precisely? Exception+Traceback -- broken image (then access it and report exception+traceback). Sometimes, images are put into the "misc_" section of a product. You can see an example use in "Products/ZGadflyDA/__init__.py".

Nothing, the image isn't displayed at all, so I argue that Zope doesn't find it.
