Hi Erik, Many thanks for your reply. This is somewhat more complicate dthan I had hoped. Does this mean I am going about this the wrong way and that there is a simpler way? If not then is Alias a command I use from within the apache conf file? Also how do I check if I have the request context processor activated and also do I need to pass the MEDIA_URL value into the template from the views/urls?
