[opencms-dev] Best location for resources like images and css

[Yves Glodt]

Hello,

I successfully created a template, and I put css and images to the 
resources/css and resources/images subfolders.

This works well, but what bothers me is that when I want to link to an image, 
(which Editors will also have to do soon), they have to browse through 
the /system folder deep into my template to find the image. I do not want 
that editors can even enter into /system.

Also, when I link to the css files from my template, currently I do like this:
<link href='<cms:link>../../resources</cms:link>/css/main.css' 
rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />

This feels strange for me... :-)

What speaks agains putting the images and css (or at least the images, which 
editors might need to upload or work with) into 
the /sites/default/mysite.com/images folder?

Then I could just do:
<link href='/css/main.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />

Of course it would break the separation between content and template.
Could a sibling be a used for that?

Best regards,
Yves
