Directories Issue

[Guteman]

I just created my first Template Class. The class itself works fine, but im having major display issues with the default template. The images dont work nor does my .css file.

Here is how my folders are
system -> template.class.php
templates -> default -> index.php

Here is how my root index.php file is:
[code]<?php
require_once("system/template.class.php");

$TemplateEngine = New Template;
$TemplateEngine->SelectTemplateFile('index.php');
$TemplateEngine->Compile();

?>[/code]

I can make the images work, but I dont like how I have todo it (templates/default/images/image.jpg)

My question: Is there a way to have it so I still can just put in images/image.jpg? I do not want to do ../ all day either.

no...not just image/image.jpg. if it is in a higher directory then you have to do the templates/default/images/image.jpg... but you could, in your template file before all the images have it something like <#imgdir#> or whatever, then when you complile simply replace and occurance of <#imgdir#> using str_replace with the actual image directory...

is there any alternative I can do to the root index.php?
