Loading images from skins

[cjustice]

We are creating a custom skin to match our corporate look and feel. One of the things we would like to do is to be able to load images from the skin. For example:

canvas.setBackgroundImage("backImage.jpg");

or

Img logo = new Img( "logo.png", 267, 35 );

But instead of having the images load from /images, have them load from the skin, i.e. /app/sc/skins/MySkin/images.

Any suggestions on how to do this? Is there a way to get the path to the skin from code?

Thanks!

Use the "[SKIN]" or "[SKINIMG]" prefix when specifying the URL to the image file - see the Skinning overview for how these resolve.

Thanks, that works. For instance:

canvas.setBackgroundImage("[SKIN]/backImage.jpg");
