[opencms-dev] Help on the accessing multiple image

[Claus Priisholm]

Strictly speaking I assume you mean that you uploaded the images to an 
image gallery. The images do end up in the virtual filesystem to begin 
with (database), however with the default setup these will eventually be 
mirrored in the real filesystem (on demand export).

Anyway, galleries are folders, so CmsObject's getResourcesInFolder(...) 
should do the trick.

 From this list you can extract the appropriate VFS path for you image, 
but remember to use the <cms:link></cms:link> or ditto link() method to 
get the final url for the IMG tag. This method adjust the url to reflect 
the fact that (in the online project) the image has been exported to the 
real filesystem.
