Issue in obtaining images in emails generated using iw_solution_email.ipl script

Hi,

I am using Template based email script (iw_solution_email.ipl) to generate email notifications.
The email templates ( like ccmail_htmlbody.tpl ) contain references to images in iw-home/httpd/webapps/content-center/base/images . The url in the src atttribute of img tag is .. /iw-cc/base/images/image_name.
However these images do not appear in the resultant email being generated.

How does the relative url /iw-cc/base/images/image_name get resolved to locate the images on the server.

Do I need to make some modifications in the email templates(like ccmail_htmlbody.tpl) to resolve the image path.

Any clue would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Santosh.

Hi,

first you have to tell the solution script to attach the picture.

Something like:
$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif',
Id => 'div_optionbar.gif',
Path => '/cs/iw-home/httpd/webapps/content_center/base/images/div_optionbar.gif',
Disposition => 'Inline',
);

and then you have to insert the picture in ccmail_htmlbody.tpl with something like this:

Hope this helps?

Actually - all you need to do is get the hostname of the server and make the URL fully qualified:

...
use Sys::Hostname;
...
my $hostname = hostname();
my $url = "http://$hostname/iw-cc/.../image_name.gif";
...

If you're runnong TS on a non-standard port - you need to get the port value from iw.cfg via the iwconfig CLT and incorporate that into the URL as well.
