RE: Image directory flow
Tim, In you application.cfm page set a variable to the base reference and then use it in you pages. Example: cfset baseRef=http://rootdomain.com/ Then when calling the graphics in your header and footer includes: img src=#baseref#/content/graphics/image.jpg Best regards, Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A Web Design and Hosting Company tel: (203)879-2844 fax: (203)879-6254 http://www.uxbinternet.com/ -Original Message- From: Tim VanderPloeg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 2:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Image directory flow I must be missing something very simple but I am new to CF.

I only want one header.cfm, menu.cfm and footer.cfm on the site. Tim VanderPloeg South Florida TSG Web Developer 561-840-7018 __ Why Share?

Re: Image directory flow
Tim, Use aboslute instead of relative paths ie /dept/content/graphics/imagenamejpg This will fix the problem because the first backslash in front of dept tells it to drop to the root On Fri, 01 March 2002, Tim VanderPloeg wrote: I must be missing something very simple but I am new to CF I have to follow a directory structure hear where I work that goes like this: Root Dept Apps Content Graphics Apps What I am trying to do is to have a headercfm and footercfm that will be located in the Apps directory and the images in the Graphics directory All of my pages will use the headercfm and footercfm no matter what level the module is at With the cfinclude template=/headercfm the images do not carry over to the different levels unless they are in the same level as the headercfm is In the img src=/content/graphics/imagejpg call I have tried it with just the / at the beginning and still no luck What do I need to do so all of the images that are stored in the graphics folder and used in the headercfm no matter what level I include the headercfm will be seen I only want one headercfm, menucfm and footercfm on the site Tim VanderPloeg South Florida TSG Web Developer 561-840-7018 __ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://wwwpennyhostcom/redirectcfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://wwwthenetprofitscouk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://wwwmail-archivecom/cf-talk@houseoffusioncom/ Unsubscribe: http://wwwhouseoffusioncom/indexcfm?sidebar=lists
RE: Image directory flow
Tim; Um... okay, I think I know what the problem is. The header and footer files are in a different directory than the content files. The client Web browser will be looking for the files based on the physical location of the content files on the Web server, not based on the location of the header and footer files. You need to think about the location of the image directory relative to the location of the content pages. What you will need to do is adjust the links to images in the header and footer files to be dynamic based on the location of the content page, i.e. img src=#request.page_level#images/thisimg.jpg You will need to set a variable in each one of your content pages that refers to the location of the images directory relative to the content page, i.e. cfset request.page_level = ../. You can create a new file, call it app_local.cfm or something like that, and include it in each of your content pages.
