Oracle APEX image prefix

So it’s better idea to use universal:

than hardcoded:

Remember also about difference between three substitution strings for files in Oracle Application Express:

  • #IMAGE_PREFIX# – points to virtual path of server “images” directory (default /i/);
  • #APP_IMAGES# – points to static files uploaded with APEX upload utility (so saved in database), that are related to specific application (and only this application can use them);
  • #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# – points to static files uploaded with APEX upload utility (so saved in database), that are related to the workspace (any application can use them).
