Manipulating Media File Methods and
Properties
The Media File Object methods and properties contain information about the
file, the source location, and the destination.
The object automatically parses the path and uses the values from some of
the properties to determine a transfer destination path and a reference path.
Initial values for several of these parameters are specified in the
mediafiles feature of the configuration data.
For more information, see ”Media File Object” on page 19.
Using Local or Given Image Path Resolutions
Resolution
Type
To learn when to use the local or given image path resolution type, it is
important to understand that image paths are resolved in one of three ways.
• full path
• relative to the host
• relative to the local page location
Below is an example, based on these file locations, of a page whose image
path is resolved in each way.
Page Location: http://www.yourcompany.com/pages/
ewebeditpro5
Image Location: http://www.yourcompany.com/images/gifs
Image File Name: happy.gif
Image Path in HTML
Full http://www.yourcompany.com/images/gifs/
happy.gif
Host /images/gifs/happy.gif
Local ../../images/gifs/happy.gif
Your choice of a resolution type is determined by the needs of the site and the
publishing process. Use the ResolveMethod property to define a resolution of
the image path. See Also: “Method: resolvePath” on page 91
