<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m trying to figure out how to reference images and
other multimedia content from a page in Drupal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m building a large multi-language site in Drupal 6
(about 7 languages, will expand in future). It’s a business-style
site rather than a community-style one, so the pages are reasonably static and
will generally be originally implemented by web designers. Non-technical
users will complete translations of pages and also small updates, fix typos
etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>How do I reference pictures that are related to a certain
page (as opposed to part of the theme)? I understand I should store them
in sites/sitename/files so I could reference them with <b>src=”sites/sitename/files/pic.jpeg”</b>,
but it would make more sense to reference them using the PHP function file_directory_path().
However, if I embed PHP code into the page then the non-technical users are not
able to edit the page unless I allow them to save PHP code. Does this all
make sense? Am I working in the right direction? What should I do?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>John<o:p></o:p></p>
