[opencms-dev] image exports

[bjacobs at rednoodle.com]

Christian,

Thank you for responding, and for you suggestions.

-------

Can you say more about how the path config could be wrong? Would that be
in /WEB-INF/config/opencms-importexport.xml?

-------

Regarding the setting of the export property. It is presently defaulting
to "not set". When I set it and put a path, it changes the location that
the html page expects to find an image, but the image is still not written
to the harddrive.

The part about this idea that puzzles me is that if I don't have the
export property set, I imagine that the image paths as written in the HTML
would not have "export" in them (would try to pull the image dynamically
out of the database instead off off the hard drive). My thought was that
the way the HTML writes image paths would match up with the setting. Is it
expected that they would not match up in this way?

Thank you again for the suggestions, and any further responses you might
offer.
