We're rolling our own complete custom skin for our customers, which is based on our website design. However, for various reasons, we can't pull any images off of the website itself.
Handling this in a skin is really easy - just pop the image in the images directory and add image names to the .conf files.
However, the login.html file doesn't know any information about the skin the user has chosen (as the user isn't logged in yet, of course), so I can't call any skin-specific information.
So, I'm looking for one of two solutions.
1) It would be nice if there was an existing way that I could magically reference images that exist inside a skin from login.html
or
2) If I could insert images into the web root directory and reference them directly from login.html... without any risk of the added files being removed or altered by an upgrade process. This would mainly involve figuring out where the web root really is.
This isn't directly limited to images. Being able to pull in other file types may be needed in the future - probably CSS. (For now, I've copied the style DA inserts into the login.html file manually.)
Thanks for any advice!
