Is there any update on having stable image URLs in the HTML documentation?  

The random, unpredictable urls for image files in the HTML documentation prevents useful integration of EA with wikis.

General Board / How to Create Consistent URLs for Images in HTML

« on: August 27, 2009, 06:43:16 am »

Hello, I would like to know if anyone has succeeded in integrating EA with a wiki or project management tool such as Mingle.  

I currently export projects into HTML and publish the HTML to a website.  While EA's Java viewer is not useful, I can still link the PNG images from this website into another website, such as Mingle and our project wiki.  To keep the URLs for these images consistent, it is necessary to create diagrams in separate packages.

This is a hit-or-miss approach, unfortunately.  Adding a new element to the root package will change all of the image names, breaking the URLs in the project tool and wiki.

Can someone suggest another way that would allow EA-generated diagrams to be used in external tools?  Updating the diagram in EA and exporting the HTML documentation should also automatically update the image file.  The images should have regular and consistent urls, such as http://basename/EARoot/EA1/EA37.png

I have already been trying to keep all diagrams in separate packages, but this is an unreliable approach.  For example, adding a use case creates new elements in the parent package, changing all image numbers in the sub-packages.

Thank you,
Jon
