I'm using the demo site and trying to modify a style. I'd like to use a logo file I uploaded to the collateral area. How do I do this? None of the macro's seem to work and this is not covered in Ruling WebGUI.

You'll have to use the collateral macro's for that.

^AssetProxy("myimage"); should work.

I'm trying to put an image into a style. Using img src="^|(logo.gif)" did not work in the html. How do I insert an image I uploaded with the collateral manager into a style? Is there a better way to upload an image to use this way? What is the pathing to use in the html? Ruling WebGUI is useless when it comes to details.

I know this is an old post, but I needed some clarification on this question recently too. So to clarify, the right way to do this seems to be:

simply use ^AssetProxy(URLofImage);

Don't try to use something like <img src="^AssetProxy(URLofImage);" />

which is what I was trying to do. I guess it makes sense when you realize that the image asset itself is tied to an image template that defines the structure of the <img> tag when the page is loaded. So just to be obtuse I guess if we did use the <img> tag explicitly, we might expect to get something like this:

Actually you can do the latter, just not using the assetproxy macro:

It's actually smarter to do it this way if you use the same different image in a variety of uses and want to override the default img tag settings.

If you are working within a style sheet asset (either a snippet type: text/css or a style sheet uploaded to the extras directory) you will want to use the standard css. For example:

#divHeader {
background: url(^FileUrl(image-source-url); no-repeat center top rgb(0,0,0);
height: 80px; width: 500px;
}

That for example will set the background image in the id divHeader to80px tall, 500px wide and set the background image image-source-url centered at the top with a background color of black.

I started this thread more than three years ago. I do not even work at the same company any more nor do I use WebGui any longer.

Lets let it die.
