Theme: CSS link to the custom file

[cynetix]

If I wish to link to the logo.png inside the etc/webmin/authentic-theme directory from styles.css in the etc/webmin/authentic-theme directory, what's the relative path?

No matter what I try I can't seem to access it.

Many thanks.

What are you trying to do?

Obviously you will not be able to load it from etc directory.

Theme automatically does it and copies the logo to the theme's directory/images.

Qooob,

Yes we are just seeing that, I had assumed that was the correct directory based on the CSS file and the logo.png image. However I have located the image in the authentic-theme/images directory but I still can't link to it.

What I am trying to eventually do is add a background image to some CSS. I want to store that image with all the other images and link to it relatively so I can copy the CSS to other installs without having to change the absolute links if possible.

Sorry, I should clarify what I wrote.

I CAN link to logo.png, and any other file that's there, but I can't link to any new file I place in that directory.

Do you only need background image?

Do you know that you could encode background-image url with base64 and thus not use any files?

However, 18.08 will have this new feature:

• Added ability to embed custom Perl scripts under /etc/webmin/authentic-theme/scripts.pm to be able to run arbitrary code that survives updates. The file scripts.pm must end with 1; to work successfully

In case it's not blamed with the team it will go to the next Webmin release.

Hi Qooob,

I have used the base64 approach which has allowed me to do what I needed. Thank you!

Sure, cool, no problem, pal! ;)

Please update to 18.08.
