Creating template from master page issue

Hi

I copied my master page and associated images in 
\App_Data\Sitefinity\WebsiteTemplates\MyTemplate\App_Master and \App_Data\Sitefinity\WebsiteTemplates\MyTemplate\App_Master\Images folders respectively. When I create template based on master page within SF, the template is created expect images do not appear in the template.

How can I make the images appear in the template?

Thanks

Regards

 

Hello John,

The appearance of images depends on whether you used image tags in your master page, or
 not. In the first case, make sure you entered the correct path to the image you want to apply. Take a look at the sample:

An alternative way to apply images to your page is by the Image widget.

If your images are applied in your css styles to elements with specific id or class, make sure you have those classes/ids in your master page.

Also note that Images folder is reserved for Sitefinity, so using it may cause issues. Try naming the folder differently to prevent that. You might find this discussion relevant to your problem.

Hi Zheyna

Many thanks. I also have a flash swf file embedded in master page. Are there any specially instructions for swf files too?

Thanks

Hi

Keeping images under App_Data path did not work with HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden error on the images. It only worked when I moved App_Master and App_Themes to the root folder.

Thanks

Hi John,

You could use a content widget and its Flash Manager. Simply drop the widget on your page and choose the swf object you would like to display. Note that you also need to create a folder in you root and name it Files. This is where all your swf files should be located.
