CFMODULE and images

Hopefully the last question for a while ... :)

Okay. I'm using a cfm file as a kind of layout template, which I call from another CFM file.

Code: 
<cfset test= "test page"/>
<cfmodule template="templates/template.cfm">
<cfoutput>Hello! #test#</cfoutput>
</cfmodule>

Which works OK. But here's the problem. The images referenced in the template.cfm have to be relative to the calling template. And the calling template may be in any directory in the web app.

Is there a preferred way to make sure that the template.cfm can always reference the images directory, no matter where it is called from?

Thanks once again ... :)

Rather than...

../path/to/image

use

/full/path/to/image/

Or you could make a parameter of the custom tag to be the image location prefix...

Mind sharing the custom tag code? I'll see if I can help.

Ok.

The site is arranged like this

Code: 
[root]
    Application.cfm
    documentview.cfm
    [images]
    [model]
        test.cfm
    [templates]
        template.cfm


The template is basically just putting the HTML around some content

Code: 
<cfif thisTag.executionMode is "end">
<html>
<head>

<title>Hello</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="sheet.css" type="text/css">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#666666">
<img src="images/logo.jpg">
<cfoutput>#thisTag.generatedContent#<cfoutput>
</body>
</html>
<cfset thisTag.generatedContent=""/>
</cfif>

And I call the template in documentview.cfm, which is fine, but calling it from
test doesn't work, since the references to the images are wrong.

Great! Then there's no reason that adding a slash in front of images wouldn't fix it.

Code: 
<cfif thisTag.executionMode is "end">
<html>
<head>

<title>Hello</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="sheet.css" type="text/css">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#666666">
<img src="[red][b]/[/b][/red]images/logo.jpg">
<cfoutput>#thisTag.generatedContent#<cfoutput>
</body>
</html>
<cfset thisTag.generatedContent=""/>
</cfif>

Mmmm .. that didn't work, but it gave me an idea for a fix.

I just set a variable

Code: 
<cfset base="#CGI.SERVER_NAME#:#CGI.SERVER_PORT#/site">

Then I set a html base ref in the template.

Code: 
<cfoutput><base href="#base#"></cfoutput>

Bit of a hack, but it seems to work OK ....
