Hard-coding images into block templates

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I need to include an image in a custom block template. To locate the image (which I've placed in an 'images' folder with the template) I'm using this PHP:

echo str_replace($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], '', $this->getBlockPath()) . '/templates/templatename/images/image.png'

Am I missing a neater way to do this or is this the best solution?

Try:
echo $this->getBlockURL() . '/templates/templatename/images/image.png';


I've also tried dynamically outputting the current template name so that doesn't need to be hardcoded in the path, but could never get it to work so as far as I know the above code is the simplest/best way to go.

Ah! I had a hunch there might be some other way. Hard-coding the rest of the path not a problem as it is a custom template, doesn't need to be that portable.
Thanks!
