relative links instead of absolute

I've made a template that uses some images and etc and I would like to make the links relative rather than absolute. I put the images in my image folder in my joomla site. Is there a way to call a relative link to those images or should I put the images under the Thyme folder?

Thanks

Yes, you may use relative URLs to images in Thyme's themes.

Is there a command to return the base site similar to the _CAL_BASE_PATH_. command.

I got the normal ../../ way to work but I was thinking that if I want to share or reuse the theme than it would be better to somehow link it with a command to return the base site so if someone puts it two folders deep it wouldn't matter.

Just a thought.

In CSS? No. I'm not sure if that's what you were asking though. Let me know if it isn't.

its actually in the php code. I have a link to my weekly calendar view with an image.

_CAL_BASE_URL_ will get you the URL for Thyme.

Forgive me for being stupid but I can't seem to get it to work.

I put in src= '_CAL_BASE_URL_."../images/M_images/week.gif" '

I've tried a bunch of different syntax but can't get it to work.

Sorry for bugging you with something that should be so simple.

Thanks

No worries. But you're going to have to give me more to go on. Can you give me the URL to where this is being used please?
