What is the path for images?

How is the iamge path written? I see this code> . DIR_WS_TEMPLATE .but I don't know how to complete it to display an image from a template folder.

I want to display an image from whichever is the default template folder without changing the path each time I switch templates. The image names are the same but look different for each template I use.

In include/configure.php you'll see

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.higher-graphics.com');
...
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
...
define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

concatenate these three values, and that's the path for images.

Good luck,
Scott

Or, if you want it to detect the correct path based on your active template, you can use this code (from tpl_header.php) as an example:```
<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

Thanks for both suggestions. I want to clarify my purpose as neither is doing what I want or I don't understand how to apply either to achieve my objective.

In tpl_header.php I removed all the header stuff and replaced it with an image like this

<div id="headerWrapper"><div><img src="/zen/includes/templates/shade/images/header.jpg" alt="" /></div> ...</div>

The image name is the same in 3 templates but since the folder names are different when I switch template via the admin panel I have to edit the path each time.

I need the php/smarty path that Zen uses to identify a template folder and it's image directory so the image will be found when templates are switched. Sorta like this code from OSC

<?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'foot.jpg'); ?>

So I tried this with no success

<div><?php echo '<img src="' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . footleft.gif) . '/>'; ?></div>

Something happened with this change but still no image display

<div><?php echo ' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . footleft.gif) . '; ?></div>

Any suggetstions on this?

Just want to know the global path to the image directory of the template in use. The method posted above is logical but I don't know how to apply it. I don't need the image to link so I need the code without the link reference. I have tried it in many ways but none seem to work.

You may refer to the file
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/product_free_shipping.php

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_FREE_SHIPPING_ICON', zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'always-free-shipping.gif', 'Always Free Shipping'));

Below is simplified from both of the discussions above and only with the basic.

<div id="logo1"><?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'test.gif') . '</div>'; ?>

And from page source of my test it show as.

<div id="logo1">
<img width="240" height="160" alt="" src="includes/templates/future_zen_4/images/test.gif"/>
</div>

The image can be seen and under the override directory.

By viewing page source, always helps to trace, isolate problems, debug and minimize the time in development.

Note:

1. the raw image size for the test.gif in above test is 240 x 160 px and no parameter was entered in the above test.
2. the **alt="" ** is for the no alter text entered.

.

Seethrou that worked exactly as I want. Many thanks. Now maybe you could help me solve this IE spacing problem. I have a post regarding that at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48747
