Question

I need to display image that is in file system not in project directory in grails..
i used

< img src="${createLinkTo(dir: '/Users/ME/ddImages/reg/', file: '${userInstance.fileName}.jpg')}" alt="User Photo"/>

but that doesn’t seem to work

so any help?

Answer 1

BTW, the grails tag is depricated, use resource; and that tag will keep you within the application’s base path

http://www.grails.org/Tag+-+createLinkTo

Documentation on the img tag
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_img_src.asp,

Possible values for “src”

An absolute URL - points to another web site (like src="http://www.example.com/image.gif")
A relative URL - points to a file within a web site (like src="image.gif")
