Thread

Hey guys, I’m working on a client site in ExpressionEngine 2, my first EE project, and have a question.

I would like to keep all my template files together, so that I can use source control (mercurial specifically) to track and push my changes. Unfortunately, it seems near impossible to link to static files like images within a template folder.

I already have EE saving my templates as files, so that works fine, but what do I do with images? I would like to keep them in the same folder.

Has anyone solved this problem?

Okay, duh, I think I figured this out on my own.

I created an “assets” directory in my template directory where I put my site images. I then had to create a .htaccess file in my assets directory to allow users to access the files.

allow from all

Anyone see any issues with this method?

Thanks!

You can create an images folder anywhere you want, since you link to it explicitly in your CSS.
