I think the easiest solution would be to have your designers type src="/images/logo.jpg", href="/css/wiw.css", etc. and then put the respective files in the directories

/Users/mysilmaril/Sites/WIW/images
/Users/mysilmaril/Sites/WIW/css
[download]

(with /Users/mysilmaril/Sites/WIW/ being the webserver's configured document root)

In this case, no additional mapping of path components like /images —> /assets/images would be required (via TT2 [% images %] or whatever).

If you can't get your designers to type anything other than src="/logo.jpg", you could set up a RewriteRule to prepend /assets/images to any URI-path that ends in .jpg, .png, .gif, etc.

P.S.: if you're going to use

[% root = '/Users/mysilmaril/Sites/WIW' images = '$root/assets/images" %] ... <img src="[% images %]/logo.jpg">
[download]

I'm pretty sure you don't want the /Users/mysilmaril/Sites/WIW part in there, as the image would then (most likely) be searched under

/Users/mysilmaril/Sites/WIW/Users/mysilmaril/Sites/WIW/assets/images/

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


go ahead... be a heretic
