Paths

Squiz Matrix Support
1

Hi there,


I’ve been having some problems with file paths.



I have been developing the parsefile and added some javascript for rollover images and css.



When I included the css and javacript as separate files matrix would set the src as



http://mydomain/mydesignname/file.css

http://mydomain/mydesignname/file.css



so I embedded the code in the html and all works fine.



so now the javacript in the <a> tag looks like



eg:



<a href="/about/" onMouseOver=“MM_swapImage(‘about’,’’,‘mysource_files/menu-about-over.gif’,1)” onMouseOut=“MM_swapImgRestore()”>



when viewing the output source the path to the rollover image as



http://mydomain/mydesignname/file.css



and the path to the base image as



http://mydomain/mydesignname/file.css



I must be missing something to do with paths here.





Thanks Jarrod.

The paths are dependant on the status and permissions of the assets in question. In your example, the menu-about.gif is Live with Public Read access, while the menu-about-over.gif is either Not Live (essentially, any other status besides Live) or doesn't have Public Read access.


A Public Read/Live file/image asset gets the __data/assets/… style of path (which is handled by Apache natively). Anything else gets a Matrix URL, so we can test permissions/asset status on load.



Hope that makes things a bit clearer.

Thanks very much for that,


a silly oversight on my part. :wink:
