how image path is resolved in ezpublish legacy?

I am working on some existing ezpublish code base. I have two extension extA and extB. In templates of extA i have this code in tpl.

<img src={"icons/test.png"|ezimage} height="75" width="75" />

Full path of this image becomes mysite.com/extension/extA/design/extA/images/icons/test.png

Now i put the same image code inside a tpl of extB. But now the image path resolves to

mysite.com/design/extB/images/icons/test.png

Why this path difference? Is there any settings inside ezpublish to control this?

Solution

  • Following links helped me to find the problem. https://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/3.10/Reference/Template-operators/URLs/ezimage

    https://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/3.9/Reference/Configuration-files/design.ini/ExtensionSettings/DesignExtensions

    If the operator is unable to find the specified file within the "images" subdirectory of the current design, it will attempt to locate it in the "images" subdirectory of the fallback designs or the standard design.

    And

    eZ Publish will look for designs in the directory "/extension/ extension_name/design/"

    So it first tried to find in path mysite.com/extension/extB/design/extB/images/icons/test.png

    and when the image is not there it tries to find from fallback mysite.com/design/extB/images/icons/test.png

    My image was in first path but it still tried to find from fallback as cache was not updated. After clearing the cache image was found in the first path.
