Making Image URL Relative To Custom HTML Template In WP

PROGRAMMING

I have made my own HTML template to be included in wordpress posts where I need it. It is stored in a plugin folder. (It makes a table with a linked image inside it, which I add to posts when needed).

Although the template works the only thing it won't do is display the image I have added in the code.

The image is in the same folder as the html template.

So I have in the HTML template

Code:

<a href="links"><img src="theimage.gif"></a>

I presumed that having it in the same folder as the HTML template that it would pick up the image and display it. But it doesn't display the image only everything but the image.

How would I make it display?

Thanks

ETA: Folder hierachy

Plugins > New Folder > The HTMl Template and Image

Get a bit of help from PHP powers - make it like this:

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/theimage.gif" title="" alt="" />

  I've tried this and it doesn't work.
  
  What happens is that the
  
  Code:
  
  <?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>
  
  is not turning into html it is just staying as is.
  
  The template I have made is .html but can't be changed to .php. I'm guessing it's because it is .html?
  
  Thanks

You may hardcode template URL in your IMG tag:
<a href="links"><img src="http://www.YOUR-SITE.com/content/themes/YOUR-THEME/theimage.gif"></a>

  And that makes sense more than anything. Man I should think just a little bit harder. Although I was looking to be extra sophisticated when I could do that all along lol.
