Table Of Contents
l css/ contains the files in the Stylesheets folder.
l js/ contains the files in the JavaScripts folder.
l snippets/ contains the files in the Snippets folder.
When refering to them, normally you would simply use the path directly with the file name. The
structure within those folders is maintained, so if you create a "signatures" folder within the
"Images" folder, you need to use that structure, for example in HTML: <img
src="images/signatures/johnsmith.gif">. In scripts, you can refer to them in the same way, for
example:
results.loadhtml("snippets/en/navbar.html");
See also: "Loading a snippet via a script" on page408 and "Writing your own scripts" on
page381.
Note
When referring to images or fonts from a CSS file, you need to remember that the current
path is css/, meaning you can't just call images/image.jpg. Use a relative path, for
example: #header {background-image: url('../images/image.jpg'); }
External resources
External resources are not stored in the template, but on the local hard drive or on a network
drive. They are accessed using a path. The path must have forward slashes, for example <img
src="file:///c:/resources/images/signatures/johnsmith.gif"> or var json_variables = loadjson
("file:///d:/jsondata/variables.json");. The complete syntax is:file://<host>/<path>. If the host
is"localhost", it can be omitted, as it is in the example, resulting infile:///<path>. The empty
string is interpreted as `the machine from which the URL is being interpreted'.
Network paths are similar: results.loadhtml("file://servername/sharename/folder/snippet.html");
(note that in this case file is followed by 2 slashes only).
Some limitations
l Style sheets cannot refer to external resources.
l The Connect Server user needs access to whichever network path is used. If the network
path is on a domain, the Connect Server must be identified with domain credentials that
have access to the domain resources.
For more information on network paths, please see this Wikipedia entry: file URI scheme.
