Looking at 0.7 resources.xmap I'm trying to understand the cascade:
<map:match pattern="images/**.*">
<map:select type="exists">
<map:when test="{project:content.xdocs}/images/{1}.{2}">
<map:read src="{project:content.xdocs}/images/{1}.{2}"
mime-type="image/{2}" />
</map:when>
<map:when test="resources/images/{1}.{2}">
<map:read src="resources/images/{1}.{2}"
mime-type="image/{2}" />
</map:when>
<map:when test="{project:resources.images}/{1}.{2}">
<map:read src="{project:resources.images}/{1}.{2}"
mime-type="image/{2}" />
</map:when>
1 and 3 are clear. Check for image file in images subdir of xdocs and
the designated project:resources.images directory.
But what is <map:when test="resources/images/{1}.{2}"> trying to
accomplish? The way I read it it would look for the file in the
resources/images subdir of the directory of the referring file?
What is the purpose of this?
Trying to understand the next one:
<map:match pattern="**/images/**.*">
matching any reference that has images in its path, no
such as
bla/blo/images/bli/file.jpg
bla/blo/images/file.jpg
<map:select type="exists">
<map:when test="{project:content.xdocs}/{1}/images/{2}.{3}">
looking for
xdocs/bla/blo/images/bli/file.jpg
xdocs/bla/blo/images/file.jpg
What is this needed for?
Seems to contradict our standard way of storing all
images below a directory calles images.
<map:read src="{project:content.xdocs}/{1}/images/{2}.{3}"
mime-type="image/{3}" />
</map:when>
<map:when test="resources/images/{2}.{3}">
<map:read src="resources/images/{2}.{3}"
mime-type="image/{3}" />
Looking for
resources/images/bli/file.jpg
resources/images/file.jpg
Same here. Cutting out the path before 'images' (if
I understand that correctly) Forrest would seem to
behave highly unpredictable to the user. What for.
AND
Am I correct to assume that this would be the
pattern to match ..-references?
But if so, why does the file end up in the wrong
directory? Does the original reference determine the
final location of the file in site? And if so, where
does that happen?
</map:when>
<map:otherwise>
<map:read src="{project:resources.images}/{2}.{3}"
mime-type="image/{3}" />
</map:otherwise>
</map:select>
</map:match>
Thanks for any help in understanding this.
