Simple skin question

gazhay · 2012-03-31 17:57

I have a png inside my skin directory. (it is also in a subdirectory in my skin folder)
I want to display it.

Code:

<control type="image">

    <description>Test</description>

    <posx>5</posx>

    <posy>5</posy>

    <width>50</width>

    <height>50</height>

        <texture background="true" fallback="test.png">images/test.png</texture>

</control>

This doesn't display anything.
How do I do this? or how do I generate the full path to my file? I cannot find any documentation on the $INFO variable, and have searched the forum for over 30 minutes.[/code]

you have to place your image at SKINFOLDER/media/images/test.png with this image control. Remove the background and fallback attributes, they aren´t needed.

Eventually got it, the path is relative to the xml file.

For completeness :

Code:

../images/test.png

worked.

no, not relative to xml file (place). it´s relative to media folder.

You could also use the special:// protocol for absolute paths. E.g.:

Code:

special://skin/media/images/test.png
