Hello out there,

I am developing on Drupal now for 6 months and I am experiencieng a strange problem I have never seen in this time. I tested and deployed a few sites so far and there was never a problem with theming these sites. But actually I tumble on theming a site because when I use graphics in the template the path to the graphic is not the path to the template under /site/sitename/images/image.jpg (I also tried without subfolders) but its just a relative path to the image.

If I install a downloaded theme from drupal.org it works perfectly. So what am I doing wrong?

thanks and greets
Roger

So where are the images you want to load located? In your theme folder or somewhere else?

for your reply, but I found the error. It was sitting between the screen and the chair. ;)

I mistakenly added the image to my template file but was not aware that in a template file the image must get a base path and a theme path with the appropriate drupal functions. Now I link the images as background images in the CSS and they are displayed as wished.

knowledge raised, case closed. :D

PS: the functions are base_path() and theme_path()
