Changing the loc of where rich display images are stored

Post by drp2thehill »

I'm trying to copy and work with the MENU001D data (after having copied it to my library first!).
Trying to change the logo image but can't get the default to change from "/www/profoundui/htdocs". What's up?

Images are stored as separate files on the IFS (.gif, .jpg, or .png). The reference to an image must be a valid url. It can be an absolute url, such as http://domainname.com/images/logo.gif, or a relative url, such as /images/logo.gif.

/www/profoundui/htdocs is the root of your HTTP server. Your end-users cannot view or navigate to files outside of this folder. A relative url of /images/logo.gif translates to IFS file /www/profoundui/htdcos/images/logo.gif.

Technically, the root folder can be changed by modifying the HTTP server configuration, but normally we don’t want the user to be able to point their browser to just any file on the IFS. Instead, I would recommend to copy your logo somewhere within that folder structure. In fact, there is already a folder for this purpose our there. See /www/profoundui/htdocs/profoundui/userdata/images.
