Re: show image from layout

You can also use the image method from the html helper.

echo $html->image('my_logo.jpg');

It does not matter that the layout file is stored in
app/views/layouts/ and the images in app/webroot/img. The layouts
directory is simply a folder to store template files; they are not
"served" from there in the same manner as, say an HTML file would be.
Any paths inside of a layout file should be relative to root
(app/webroot/) not the layouts directory.

So, if you have an image file at app/webroot/img/my_img.png you can
put the following in your layout:

<img src="/img/my_img.png" alt="...

Likewise, if you have CSS rules which refer to images, you can either
set the URLs to be relative from "root" -> url(/img/my_img.png) or
from the CSS directory -> url(my_img_foloder/my_img.png)

where the latter refers to an image stored at
app/webroot/css/my_img_foloder/my_img.png and the former to the
regular img directory.
