I currently have a fly form for showing a printable form. I have company details in another component and want to use the image in this component. Is there a way to get the image to be loaded from another component, currently this forces the image from the current components sub file directory company_details_logo : I am wanting it to get from the same folder name in another components file directory..

<div class="controls">
			<?php echo JDom::_('html.fly.file', array(
				'dataKey' => '_company_logo',
				'dataObject' => $this->item,
				'height' => 'auto',
				'indirect' => FALSE,
				'root' => '[DIR_COMPANYDETAILS_LOGO]',
				'width' => 'auto'
			));?>
		</div>

Any help appreciated.

Happy Sunday,
You are lucky I am working every day for this summer sprint.

All you have to do is to add the 'extension' parameter in JDom
    'extension' => 'com_mycomponent'
But you must be sure that this component is loaded before, because JDom will NOT load it for you.

But as I saw, it was not working, so you need to add 2 line in JDom to make it working:
jdom/dom.php

FROM LINE 423:
public function getExtension()
{

// ADD THIS
	if ($extension = $this->getOption('extension'))
		return $extension;
//END


	$dom = JDom::getInstance();
	if ($extension = $dom->get('extension'))
		return $extension;


	$jinput = new JInput;
	$extension = $jinput->get('option', null, 'CMD');

	if ($extension)
		$dom->set('extension', $extension);


	return $extension;
}

I will fix it for the next JDom version. Thank you for this hint.
Because at the moment is was working only for modules, but once it has been loaded from a component, the extension parameter was not read afterwards.
Now with this fix, the parameter overload the static value, and will not interfer with other calls.

Hope it helps you.
