In short….is there such a variable?
Something equivalent of forum module’s

{path:image_url}

For now I am using

url(./themes/site_themes/theme_name/some_img.jpg)

Should I even bother?
Thanks for your thoughts!

I generally create a global template variable called {theme_path} in the admin and then use that in my templates. 😊

Thanks Leevi!
Thought I ask before trying to create somethig that is there by default.
I suppose the word “global” should have been a hint eh? 😊
Thanks again!

One small caveat, though: If you use the {styleheet=} method of calling your css files, no variables (except {site_url}) will be available.

Then we are back to square one…after a few tests I also noticed that using {path:image_url} kills my CSS editor for the id or class used on.
I suppose hardcoding url to theme folder is not that big of a deal especially since there is not way of ‘packaging’ themes with 1 click install…
just exploring, thanks guys!

Actually, the point I was trying to make is that you can call your css template via {path=} or just the “regular” way, and the EE variable will work. But whatever works for you, obviously.

Right, I might be little too focused on using EE tags all the time. Never the less, it is a simple solution now that I have seen it work.
Thanks for your follow up!

No worries 😊 There is generally more than one way to do it…
