I have a many local images that I want pointed perfectly at the following absolute folder path. This is the css I need..



But site designer always prepends the path with an './' and appends additional 'cache' information
which I don't need. The exported line looks like this:



To manual go through and adjust paths all the time will take forever. Is there a way to force it to use an absolute path without any changes?
Thanks

does it work ? (as in shows the images when pre-viewed)

the ./ is required to point to the relevant folder in your resources

Alternatively you need to export all your images to your server separately from SD project
then you can set the links in SD to the relevant image to absolute (https://your-domain.xxx/folder-name/image-name.xxx)

One doesn't need to adjust the paths to remove the cache reference. I have just tested the matter and found the following.

When using 'Preview on ...' the source code's main.css file for the background image did indeed show


When exported rather than just previewed the source code's main.css file for the background image showed


It would, I think, be necessary to adjust the paths for an absolute rather than a relative path, and Wayan shows how to do this,

Thanks. I am actually hoping to use Site Designer to create a game user interface and so Im copying the element html and css manually using the the right click option and then directly pasting it into my own codebase.

If I use the export option it exports lots of unrequired folders and files that I don't really need (js), even then the export option prepends '../' to the local images whereas I would want want nothing prepended nor appended.

Additionally, using the export option (as opposed to the right click>export html) the html is bloated with Jquery and other things that are just not needed.!?!

It sounds like there is very minimal options for export (which is a real shame because Site Designer seems to do a lot right) and no way to change this default export behaviour in site designer so I may have to look at modifying the css at runtime from my own code or use another system.

If there IS ever another update could I ask for customization to the local file paths on export?

Thanks

Since these forums are primarily for users helping each other, I think it would be best to post the request in the Site Designer Suggestions section ( https://www.coffeecup.com/forums/site-d … ggestions/ ), perhaps including a link back to your post to explain the background to your request.

The CoffeeCup team are may well not see suggestions made in other sections.

It turns out the best way to do this is using the Right click>View Element Code option.

This version of the css contains no irrelevant suffixes for the local files.
