[Seaside] Re: Confused over the use of WAExternalFileLibrary...

[Richard E. Flower]

This is really odd to me.. I finally got it working.  In my case, I  
used the name "include" in the dispatch editor for Seaside (where the
configuration of the WAExternalFileLibrary lives) and my links needed  
to be named "include/external/foo.jpg" but the files live in
the VW image directory as "vw7.6/image/files/foo.jpg".. It also does  
not appear to handle subdirectories from what I've seen.. I guess I'll
have to spend some time looking into Apache again since this isn't  
doing what I was hoping.. Oh well..
