Is there a trick to getting urls to work in css or javascript of a custom view tile?

Eric Pierce Aug 10, 2016 9:49 AM

How are you supposed to reference various custom images from your add on in the css or javascript of custom view tiles hosted by Jive? If I add a path like "/mytile/images/myimage.png" as the src of an img tag in the view.html it works but actually shows up as "https://mysite/resources/add-ons/{uuid of addon}/5406804d30/tiles/mytile/images/myimage.png" . However if I add the same path as say a background image url in css or use jquery to change the src of an item I get "https://mysite/mytile/images/myimage.png".

What really obvious step am I missing to get this to work correctly?

You can grab that https://mysite/resources/add-ons/{uuid of addon}/5406804d30/tiles/mytile/ from any resource loaded on the page, store it as a variable and inject it in your jquery statements.

For your CSS, you can just use "../images/myimage.png"

  Hello,
  I have Javascript resources that make calls to other JS resource.
  I need to use that link (in this case https://mysite/resources/add-ons/{uuid of addon}/5406804d30/tiles/mytile/ ). How do I get it ?
