Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing some problems trying to display static images in my static html files. Actually I get a 404 error, when I "inspect" what's going wrong.
Some of the HTML files in my project are fully static (stored along with 403.html, 404.html, 500.html & 503.html) and display images stored in static/images folder. So I tried to link them the traditional way. (I assumed the URL builder cannot be used as the HTMLs are not processed by web2py before being served.)
But it is not working. How should I link those images?
I've tried different approaches but neither of them seems to work.
a) relative path <img src="./images/forks_es3.png" /> (relative inside the app)
b) relative path
<img src="myapp/static/images/forks_es2.png" /> (relative inside the web2py site)
c) absolute path <img src="https://www.myweb.com.eus/myapp/static/images/forks_es.png" />
BTW, it may be important to note that I'm using the "routes.py" using the "parameter-based system" using:
BASE = dict(default_application='myapp')
Thanks, Jon.

Hi everyone,
Any suggestions, please?
It does work for me in locally (127.0.0.0), but not in PythonAnywhere.
Thanks, Jon.

On my server, the following works for both links:
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img src="images/my-logo.png">
<img src="/app2/static/images/my-logo.png">
</body>
My global routes.py sets (using the "simple router" example)
routers = dict(
# base router
BASE=dict(default_application='appOne',
root_static = ['favicon.ico, 'robots.txt'])
and I used "app2/static/test-ess.html" to load the page.
I also copied the html to appOne (already had the same logo in static images), and "static/test-ess.html" worked there; both copies of the logo were displayed.
If you have a lot of static files, or some of them are large, you may want to see if you can serve them with your front-end. I have a vague idea that PythonAnywhere uses Nginx, but I don't know if they give you any control of it.

Thanks Dave,
I'll test using the logo (which actually works) as you suggested.
Regards, Jon.
