Or how to do it with WO, which I wrote from one of your emails :-)

http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/WOCOM/Emails

Problem:
Your HTML email have images that you want to display inline.

Solution:
If you have a WebObjects Component and you want to send inline images with the component, you have to make use of a trick, that was mentioned in Fabian Peters mail on the Wonder Discussion mailinglist on 6 june 2009.

First of all, in the Component HTML one includes something like this:
<img src="cid:image0" alt="Logo" />

The code that accompanies this cid:image0 is:
URL logoURL = myApp().resourceManager().pathURLForResourceNamed("logo.png", null, null);
File logo = new File(logoURL.toURI());
ERMailAttachment imageLogo = new ERMailFileAttachment("logo.png","<image0>",logo);

Note that the file "logo.png" has to be included in the Resources folder of you WebObjects project.
The "cid:image0" is linked to the <image0> in the ImageAttachment.

Or if you want to include the image in the mail, you'll have to reference it by CID: <img src="cid:image0" width="274" height="61" alt="Logo" />

See <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4312687/how-to-embed-images-in-email>

I've never used this for CSS background images though.

The image has to be public. So you could just store a url to the public image.

Otherwise:

/Users/kanderson/MBM/repository/trunk/source/WebObjects/FitnotixService/WebServerResources/emailBackground.png

does look correct. It is the actual path to the image which the server needs to server it up.

Gang,

This is driving me nuts so hopefully someone has an easy answer.

In a component I'm using with ERMailDeliveryHTML I want to grab a background image for the email:

body
{
background-image:url(<webobject name="BackgroundURL"/>);
background-color:#ffffff;
}

BackgroundURL : WOString {
	value = backgroundURL;
}

    public String backgroundURL() {
return WOApplication.application().resourceManager().urlForResourceNamed("emailBackground.png", null, null, null);
    }



I've tried everything including using a method to build the URL by asking WOResourceManager for the URL for the resource.

If I put the image in a WOImage to try and steal the URL, this is what I get:

<img src="/fit/-6666/wr/wodata=/Users/kanderson/MBM/repository/trunk/source/WebObjects/FitnotixService/WebServerResources/emailBackground.png" width="800" height="600" />

even though I'm not using direct connect, which is confusing to me.

Is this just because I want to make this work in Development?

Thanks for any thoughts! It was great to see many of you this past weekend and I hope to see you next year!

Ken
