Hello Leon & Group
Please forgive me for posting this again. I thougt it answerd the question when I aked it. This was a bit different so I added a new topic.
Leon, you did answer the question better than it ever has been. I did not know tha text was not part of the engine. So, any and all language fields are 100% html?
So, all I need to do is trace the images backwards and it should work perfectly.
So only tpl files could use the {$imageDir} to get to the image? (yes/no)
Language files can never use {$imageDir} files? (yes/no)
I thank you very much leon for answering and taking the time with the question.
I wish someone would answer about AN error checking.
