Here, let me clarify it for ya, Fred...
Ya see, prior to this separate image server concept, I simply had a /images
directory in all my apps. Thus, I'd call an image just by specing
"/images/squid.gif" or what-have-you. Didn't need to have a specific image
variable. SoOoOo, to remediate it, I just do the good ol search 'n destroy
technique. But mind ya, before doing such a drastic move, I do a PKZIP of
the whole site.
But oh yeah, in my new apps, I do have an #request.image_dir# tag that I
use. Oh yeah...
