Display an image at the bottom of a page

Hello,

 

I am trying to display an image at the bottom of a specific page. Initially, I was trying to accomplish this using a page region, but cannot seem to do so without entering an absolute path (c:\Users\<username>\OneDrive...):

 

JSkog_0-1702313084403.png

or within the custom/graphics folder referenced as the pathname attribute of the _gentextgraphic element.

 

The graphics folder I want to use is located at the root level relative to where my topics and maps reside (as referenced directly from topics as "href=images/graphic.png")

 

This graphic only needs to display in the LOEP topic. When I add the image element into the LOEP topic, it's understandably at the break near the top of the page, which is why I assumed it needed to be in a page region defined at the bottom.

 

Please let me know if I need to clarify with additional details. Thanks for any help,

 

Jeff

This matter was resolved by copying some existing methods (where the image on the Cover topic was being referenced to the LOEP topic) and modifying as summarized below:

  • creating a new outputclass (LOEPSignature) in the image element and setting Hidden to "yes" in the Text category,
  • copying the SignatureBlock _ufe and naming it "LOEPSignatureBlock" using the new image outputclass (LOEPSignature), and 
  • adding the image to the Cover topic.

This was accomplished through the intervention of a consultant. Thanks.
