Hi Rafal,
Thanx for the help, I'm almost there but not quite :-(
If I use the following link
<img src="/foo/images/logo.gif">
where foo is the name of the webapp I'm using then it appears to work OK,
however if I use what you propose
$content.getURI("/images/logo.gif")
then things still go wrong. The error in the template is
warning: attempt to write out undefined variable
content.getURI(/images/logo.gif): java.lang.NullPointerException
I'm sure it's something to do with the mapping to the images dir. But that's
a bit of a grey area for me.
Any more tips/time that you can spare me would be much appreciated.
