Image on an offline server?

[dogjumps]

Ok...

So I have my site running on my laptop offline... on localhost. but now how do I get the pictures to be put on the EZ pages and Define pages? there is no public_html folder?

Im using the newest zencart

[gjh42]

They go in the same /images/ folder as they do online, in your Zen Cart installation folder (C:/xampp/htdocs/test/ or wherever you have it).

[dogjumps]

OK so they will thus go into c:\wamp\www\zencart\images?
Then when I add the file path on the Define Pages, do I make the path c:\wamp\www\zancart\images\image.gif or will it be like somethin localhost or how would the path look like?

[gjh42]

You can and should use relative filepaths, like images\image.gif . Zen Cart will automatically add the correct rest of the path, and will still work if you move the site to a live server.

I have tried i all! here is my DIR:

C:\wamp\www\Zencart
Under this I have the following folders:
admin
cache
docs
download
editors
email
extras
images
includes
media
pub

Ive tried to put image.gif under just:
C:\wamp\www\Zencart
C:\wamp\www\Zencart\images
C:\wamp\www\Zencart\pub
C:\wamp\www\Zencart/media
C:\wamp\www\Zencart\download

And I tried all of the posible paths:
C:\wamp\www\Zencart\image.gif
C:\wamp\www\Zencart\images\image.gif
C:\wamp\www\Zencart\pub\image.gif
C:\wamp\www\Zencart/media\image.gif
C:\wamp\www\Zencart\download\image.gif
image.gif
c:\wamp\image.gif

Ive tried it all! Im StUcK please help!

http:localhost/Zencart/images/image.gif

In what you posted you did not reference using this...

You can and should use relative filepaths, like images\image.gif

[dogjumps]

Oh ok wait I get it... the localhost part takes the place of the C:\wamp\www because c:\wamp\www is my physical path on my hard drive but I need to speak in server terms... Cool lets see if this works but I think I understand the concept now.

Oops, and I was posting hastily - you should use the web form
images/image.gif
not the Microsoft internal file form
images\image.gif
