Relative image paths in blocks

Hi! I've been looking for this answer for a couple days now, so I'm just going to state here:

How do you write an image path (i.e. img src=) into a block or html-wrapping module (i.e. tinycontent) as a relative path to the module?

I'm not looking for an absolute path answer. My goal is to be able to have the image display in a block according to to whatever theme is chosen.

So, in other words how do you code a relative path to your theme folder? Note: the <{$xoops_imageurl}> does not appear to work inside blocks.

Thank you!!

Hi, I'm just reviving this thread because I still haven't figured it out, and it never got any responses.

To clarify, I'm having problems getting pretty much any xoops/smarty code to work in blocks. I tried including the header/footer/mainfile.php etc in it, but that doesn't want to work either it seems.

So the question is again: How do you use your XOOPS variables in a custom/wrappedhtml block? I'm sure the answer is obvious, but I just ain't seeing it.

Thanks again!

Have you tried to use the {X_SITEURL}? It returns your site address

The problem I've been having is that no php code works in the blocks. It shows up as text in the browser when you're viewing it.

That is, echoing {X_SITEURL} would just return "{X_SITEURL}", not echo (for example)"www.pieterkonink.com".

Make sure you select from the drop down box Auto Format (Smilies disabled). This will print http://www.yourdomain.com (Text only)

You will need to place your {X_SITEURL} within appropriate tags to get the desired effect your are looking for. Using {X_SITEURL} buy itself will only print the text of your domain without a link.

{X_SITEURL} is a string used by the notification system in mail templates. It's not a Smarty tag, and is not translated except within mail templates.

{X_SITEURL} should work in blocks - but I don't know if it is for autoformat or HTML only and not in php-type blocks.

In php blocks, you should be able to use the constant XOOPS_URL

Oops, you're right.

Looking at XoopsBlock::getContent, it appears that it would work for any kind of block.
