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

[Rick Flower]

Thanks Boris.. I guess I have to get my feet wet with modifying
something within Seaside at some point eh!?  This class looks
nice-n-small so it's a good candidate.. Of course I'll let you-all that
know more about ST than I do, review it..

Now, I've changed one of my image references to point to /seaside/
files/image.jpg but its never found.. The docs are very terse on the
usage.. Am I missing something?  Where does the directory lie  in the
filesystem for VW? I've tried the top-level VW directory along with
the 'image' subdirectory...  Also, if I want to have one  directory
w/ css and another with images how is that done? Thanks!
