HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: server-root

« on: May 08, 2010, 11:44:02 PM »

Ciao Rejetto,
I do not agree, sorry.
Yes it would be great as I could work from the server alone, without messing with Windows (hidden files...).
But I do not like the idea of having absolute path' relativ to Windows in the .tpl.
Moving the place of the server would mean I need also need to adjust the tpl, while if I do not need to do anything if done as mentioned above.
Zip the folder and extract where ever I like it is all I have to do.
And this way it is easier to exchange new templates with the HFS community - as all images are included in the package.

puhhh, yes this works.... not ideal - but a solution.

Here in detail for all:

create two folders where you put your pictures in....
- (path to HFS.EXE server folder)/http_sources/images/mypicture.png

- in Windows make both folders (http_sources and images) hidden
- sources like the example mypicture.png must be NOT-hidden
- right mouse click on root in HFS server Virtual File System: "Bind root to real folder" and select "http_sources"

Now you can add and reference pictures and other includes in the tpl-template like this example:

- /images/mypicture.png

Dear all.

OK - I tried the following:
- bind root to: /images (a folder in the server root)
- added an image (test.gif) to that folder
- added a line to the template: <img src="/test.gif">
- tested it: image was there - but also the file in the listing.... :-(
- right mouse button on image file: hidden
- tested it: NO image :-((

Edit:
Found that one just a minute ago. That's exactly what I have done. But hiding the file ends in not showing.

HI SilentPliz, this is for the document root ok yes. And if I like to create an individual page it is THE solution.
What I am looking for is a place to put common images into.

If I change the virtual or real folder I need to copy all the images into that folder again, right?

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / server-root

Hello dear community - ciao Rejetto!

first of all thanks for this very-very good peace of software.

I have been looking through the forum, FAQs and manuals but I can not find answer to the folowing:
- Is there a variable for the server-root?

I think this would be a huge help to customize the templates. I had a look into the customized templates and everyone is referencing to images and icons somewhere, but not in the server root.
I was expecting to have something like an image folder on the same level as the HFS.exe to feed the template by using something like:
<img src="%server-root%/image/smile.png">

Or maybe I just missed something....
