CSS Background-Image within Component

[Gordon McLean]

Hi

I am trying to add up/over and active images as background-image css to a component. The objective being to use the component in multiple applications. Can anyone advise where the images should be stored ?

I have tried placing it in:

media Folder within solution

media Folder within a sub module of the main solution

placing the image within the component folder and referencing it direct

Cheers
Gordon

if this is really a component thing then i would ship it with the component

But if this is more a styling that the developer/solution needs to be doing then i would say put it in a media folder and reference it through the solution.css

But I got a feeling that it is more pure component internal styling so ship it with the component.

In my component template I put this code:

Code: Select all

<img src="ball.png">

And I put the image file into the component folder, but it doesn't show. What is the url for a image in a component? And if the image is in media folder of a solution/module?
Thanks

the component is always in /packagename/componnetname/xxxx

(in the normal structure)

for css you can just have relative urls based on the css location.
