Magento

I wonder if anyone can offer any input.

As part of our template design, I have added some custom images in the various template files, such as “1column.phtml” which are referenced in the normal html way within that file such as:

I have upload these images to “/skin/frontend/default/default/images/” which is the matching location on the server.

These files display fine within custom pages, such as the about us page, however as soon as you go into the catalog, they don’t display, and right clicking on images shows the path to the images is now different, which I presume is the rewrite rule kicking in.

What i would like to know is what is correct location to place custom images, and the exact img references I should be be using in files such as 1column.phtml and 3columns.phtml etc

Many thanks.

Because the base urls is defined in the admin/configuration, so in the phtml file you need to ‘getSkinUrl’

<img src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('images/footer_02.gif')?>” />

Thanks chinesedream, perfect
