best way to link to images?

i normally just use images/whatever/image.gif but i'm aware that theirs a better way so i'm wondering what's the best way and why use stuff like $stylevars etc. (sorry just trying to learn)

$stylevar[imagesfolder] that takes you right to your images folder and i guess u can go from there;):D

That only worked in vB3 pre beta 7 ;)

its now $stylevar[imgdir_*]/

either hard code it

http://www.bla.com/forum/images/buttons/crap.gif

or use relative location :)

she's right, i just tried to link to an image which is located at

Code:

images/forumhome/$forum[forumid].gif

Code:

$stylevar[imgdir_forumhome]/$forum[forumid].gif

and it missed the whole directory off :(

Example:
If your style settings were set to http://www.asite.com/forums/stylename

then

$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/boo.gif

will call

http://www.asite.com/forums/stylename/misc/boo.gif

when he said $stylevar[imgdir_*] he ment replace * with the dir name where the image is stored.

Hope this helps

but i have my images stored in /images/forumhome so where as images stored in images/misc i can just use $stylevar[imgdir_misc]/image.gif i have made a new directory i want to store my images in and i want to call them dynamically.

Not for the way you want to do it,

sabret00the

02-14-2004 10:02 AM

so theirs no way for me to do

Code:

$stylevar[imgdir]/forumhome

Try sticking this in your phpinclude_start template. This will let you use $stylevar[imgdir_forumhome] instead of hard coding it. I did not test it because im about to go to sleep, but if it dose not work it is probbly just something little I missed in my sleepy state :)

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!empty($loo_stylebit))

{

    unset($loo_stylebit);



}

    $loo_stylebit = 'images/forumhome';

    $stylevar2 = array('imgdir_forumhome' => '$loo_stylebit');

    $stylevar = array_merge($stylevar, $stylevar2);

See I forgot the code and had to edit :)

Well look at that :) nice!

sabret00the

02-15-2004 01:21 PM

wouldn't that be the same as just adding a replacement variable to the style?

sabret00the

02-15-2004 02:35 PM

does $stylevar[imgdir_gradients] not exist or is it just me?

AN-net

02-15-2004 07:26 PM

it might be gradient, like the buttons folder is actually $stylevar[imgdir_button](i think)
i dont know>_< vb should include in the next version a list of the style vars, actually they should a release a guide explaining the if statements etc. but thats my 2 cents

sabret00the

02-15-2004 11:27 PM

gradient don't work either :(
