Andre Felipe Machado	Tuesday 03 October 2006 10:26:09 am Hello, I am trying to customize a style / theme package for my blog site. But when I try to use images (bullets, arrows, buttons) in the css, they are not shown. I downloaded some of community contributed styles and examined them to see the relative url of images. Also, read the excellent beginner tutorial at http://ez.no/community/articles/build_table_less_css_layouts_with_ez_publish and successfully modified a style / theme package and imported it. But if I try to show "arrow.gif" in front of the links, they are not shown. The search button and login button are now shown, as you can see at http://www.techforce.com.br . What went wrong? File permissions? Paths? Regards. Andre Felipe Machado PS: Using Firefox free extension webdeveloper, is easy to see the css files. --- A Debian user never dies.

Claudia Kosny	Tuesday 03 October 2006 11:04:47 am Hello Andre Try using (../images/arrow.gif) as path. The stylesheets are usually in the folder /design/news/stylesheets and the pictures in the folder /design/news/images. Thus the path for the pics must go to the parent of the stylesheets folders and then into the images folder. I am not sure whether the structure is the same for the supplied styles, I have never looked at them. Greetings from Luxembourg Claudia
Andre Felipe Machado	Tuesday 03 October 2006 5:41:51 pm Hello, Many thanks for your message. I already tried your relative url suggestion. When a style is packaged, its files are stored in another directory tree, very different from the supplied stiles. The css files are in /var/news/storage/packages/navy_blue_light_grey/files/default/file directory and images are in /var/news/storage/packages/navy_blue_light_grey/files/default/file/images directory. The example style packages use the ../images/picture.gif url style. Maybe, there is some override at another place. Any ideas? Regards. Andre Felipe --- A Debian user never dies.

Hello Andre

Try using (../images/arrow.gif) as path.
The stylesheets are usually in the folder /design/news/stylesheets and the pictures in the folder /design/news/images. Thus the path for the pics must go to the parent of the stylesheets folders and then into the images folder.

I am not sure whether the structure is the same for the supplied styles, I have never looked at them.

Hello,
Many thanks for your message.
I already tried your relative url suggestion.
When a style is packaged, its files are stored in another directory tree, very different from the supplied stiles.
The css files are in
/var/news/storage/packages/navy_blue_light_grey/files/default/file directory and
images are in
/var/news/storage/packages/navy_blue_light_grey/files/default/file/images
directory.
The example style packages use the ../images/picture.gif url style.
Maybe, there is some override at another place.
Any ideas?
Regards.
