Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to reference images and other multimedia content from a page in Drupal.
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.
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 src="sites/sitename/files/pic.jpeg", 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?
You could write a module that would hook the node and manipulate a marker [img:picfile]. The hook would apply the file_directory_path and what else was needed to replace [img:picfile].
