Hey,

I’ve Made a chunk that displays a list of partners the only thing is I can’t get the images to load, Is there some variable I can append to "assets/images/partners/newgrounds.gif" to make it find it. Or which directory are chunks called from? The chunk is being embedded in my template.

Hi,
a chunk is just a piece of HTML code (as you know if you’ve created one).

To that end, if you want to display an image you will have to use an img tag:

<img src="assets/images/partners/newgrounds.gif" title="New grounds" alt =" New Grounds">

or am I missing something?

Check if you have the / before the reference, that will not work in MODx site, I think it has to do with the base tag. I ran into this problem and this resolved it.

assets/images/partners/newgrounds.gif -> this works

/assets/images/partners/newgrounds.gif -> this will not

Indeed if you have relative path enabled not slash at the beginning, and if it’s not enabled prepend with [(site_url)], e.g [(site_url)]assets/images/partners/newgrounds.gif and it should work... but relative path are better since you can move your site without having to edit all paths...

This is what I’ve got in the chunk, I have friendly urls enabled if that makes a difference

 <div id="partners_container" align="center" >
    <h2>Our Partners</h2>
    <div id="partner"><a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/"><img src="assets/images/partners/newgrounds.gif" alt="NewGrounds" width="88" height="31" /></a> </div>
    <div id="partner"><a href="http://www.modxcms.com/"><img src="assets/images/partners/modx.png" alt="Modx" width="88" height="31" longdesc="http://www.modxcms.com" /></a> </div>
    <div id="partner"><a href="http://www.ilo-nz.net/"><img src="assets/images/partners/ilo-nz.png" alt="ilo-nz" width="88" height="31" longdesc="http://www.ilo-nz.net/" /></a> </div>
</div>

If I put some text in there beside the image tag the text shows up but the image still doesn’t

Are you sure, images actually reside on the server under assets/images/ ?

That’s really strange... it should work.
Do you have any funky tweaks in your .htaccess ?

Could we get an url ?

I found the problem it was my choice of directory name, apparently images in the folders
named partners are blocked by Ad block plus. I’m so sorry I wasted everyones time embarrassed

That’ll teach me to try and keep my images organized!
