Hi… :)

i have class in components directory:




* components

  - lang.php     // php class

  - flags        // directory

     > eg.png

     > id.png

i want to load image from flags directory through lang.php, i tried like this:




CHtml::image('/flags/id' .'.png')

but failed, how the solution to this case ?

thank you

$imagePath=Yii::getPathOfAlias('application.components.flags');

$baseUrl = Yii::app()->assetManager->publish($imagePath);

echo CHtml::image($baseUrl.'/eg.png');

echo CHtml::image($baseUrl.'/id.png');

thank work well.

what if the file is already in publishing. whether he published it again or not ?

great

it checks the modification date if its a file, and if higher than the published date, it overrides, if not it will just return the baseUrl

if its a folder, for performance reasons it just checks if the folder exist, so when developing, its safe to use like this




$baseUrl = Yii::app()->getAssetManager()->publish($basePath, false, -1, YII_DEBUG);

the last parameter refers to forceCopy, that will republish even if its already published

thank gustavo

means I do not worry if you use an asset, because it will not overload the server performance.
