Hello,

When I insert an image, I can set the url for the image to a posting within
the site.

However, I want the url to point to a document in the resource manager.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Many thanks,
anabhra

Hi

The address field for images can point to resources. The tricky bit is to
get the resource's URL as this is not shown in the dialog. One quick way is
to look for the resource in Resource manager, right-click on the resource and
see its properties to get its URL.

Thanks Mei Ying.

I am aware of that option and good thing about that option is that if the
document is replaced in the resource manager, the link now points to the new
one.

However, my problem is that I can not expect my user's to do this. They want
to select a document just as they select a url to a posting....

any other idea's?

thanks for your time,
