How to provide the absolute path to the images in the html generated

manu1905

Hi All,

I m using TS 732 in which using formpublisher I am generating the html files output.

mean DCR+ XSLT ->generate output html files. Few of these files have images which take relative path, this is fine if its run in the same server.

Now in my case these html files run in one server and the other application wants to consume these html files through URLs run in other server, due to relative path of the images these do not get shown in the app which wants to consume.

I want that I should give the absolute path to the images during generate of it.

Anyway to get this done using XSLt ie PT or DCT etc?

I'm not sure I understand what you are doing / trying to do, but ...

The image files should be deployed to a web server - so the application that is consuming the content should be referencing the relative-path URLs from that web server - not file system paths from TeamSite.

I will try to explain more, the teamsite has created few static files like HTMLs.

All the html files and related resources like images, pdfs are published in server1 for eg.

Now some other application which are running on server2 is trying to consume some html files which are in server1 through URL, due this since images which are there in html files are in form of relative path there,

so, they are not getting displayed. Hence was looking if there is some way to give the absolute path to image while generating it.

I know it will tuff as we do not know the server names etc, but if some other way round.

thanks

Seems to me that if the application on server2 can pull content from server1, it should also be able to do some rewrites of that content during the pull.
