Solution 1

A "Project" is a concept in Visual Studio, it doesn't mean anything in terms of the internet, or websites or http.

If this project is a different site under a different host then you can only really hard-code the path to the images, maybe put the domain in a config file so you can change it, but the image urls will need to be fully qualified;

"http://www.othersite.com/OnlineStore/Images/blah.jpg"

the two applications are in the same project but each of them have web.config file and solution file

Again what they are at a project level is irrelevant. What counts is how they are deployed. Anyway, chances are you're just going to have to hard-code the paths as I said.

i tried hard coding the path like this: <img src="@Url.Content("~/OnlineStore/images/ProductFrontView/S-N62655_DSC0040.JPG")"> but the image was not displaying

F-ES Sitecore 5-Jul-16 8:39am

That will generate a url relative to the current site, if your files are on a different site you can't use Url.Content

<img src="http://yoursite.com/OnlineStore/images/ProductFrontView/S-N62655_DSC0040.JPG">

Again this all depends on how you are deploying the sites which you have still failed to answer.

i am planning to deploy both application into same server running on the same domain name, one is for admin section while the other is for frontend

Keep them in the same project then, at least until you gain a better understanding of how these things work as getting two separate sites to act as one is not trivial to do.

please how do i achieve that?

Just put all views\controllers\models etc in a single project and deploy the project as one. So basically take everything from one of your projects and put it in the other.

the css and js files i am using for the theme i bought are conflicting, i contacted the author, he advised i should create different applications, one for the admin template and another for the frontend template, that i should not try to rename the folders in the template otherwise i would have used one application for both

F-ES Sitecore 5-Jul-16 12:35pm

That's using a sledgehammer to crack a nut :) You could maybe include different css\js files depending on if you are in the admin area or not, that might be a way to resolve the conflicts.

Uwakpeter 5-Jul-16 12:44pm

okay then, i will see how i can resolve this, in thought putting them in different application would resolve the conflict, Thank you very much for guidance
