Hi everyone,
I'm a web2py newbie and I'm trying to use a third party JS library
(chessboard.js from http://www.chessboardjs.com/). The library is used to
show a chessboard in the webpage. It does use some images to show the chess
pieces, the javascript has a relative path in the code:
cfg.pieceTheme = 'img/chesspieces/wikipedia/{piece}.png';
I uploaded the *.js files in "static/js", *.css files in "static/css" and
the images in "static/images" (actually I also recreated the folder
structure of the library images "static/img/chesspieces/wikipedia/" for the
images.
Whenever I launch the app the chessboard is loaded but images are not
found. I tried overwritting the statement above (in chessboard.js) with:
a) cfg.pieceTheme = 'static/img/chesspieces/wikipedia/{piece}.png'; //and
it fails
b) cfg.pieceTheme = URL('static','img/chesspieces/wikipedia/{piece}.png');
//and it fails also
The only way I found, so far, to display images is to use the absolute
path, see below, which looks like a really bad work around.
cfg.pieceTheme =
'http://127.0.0.1:8000/tablero/static/img/chesspieces/wikipedia/{piece}.png';
Is there a proper way to deal with this kind of dependencies inside files
in 'static' folder?
Thanks, Jon.
