Can't add image to dashboard

Question

I'm trying to add a simple image to my advanced dashboard. This is not turning out to be the easy task I thought it would be.

I have added the jpg to:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/MyApp/appserver/static/foo.jpg

I call that img in a file called foo.html;.

Then in my dashboard I did the following:

<module name="ServerSideInclude" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col2">
  <param name="src">'foo.html'</param>
</module>

That produces the error:

ServerSideInclude Module Error!

Splunk has failed to locate the template for uri '/APP/MyApp/appserver/static/'foo.html''.

So then I tried doing this within ServerSideInclude):

<img src="${make_url('/static/app/MyApp/foo.jpg')}" alt="My image" />

That produced a similar error.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong here.

Here is the HTML I'm using (very simple):

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
    <img src="xyz.jpg" alt="xyz" />
</body>
</html>

Only the "alt" text is appearing, not the image. The image resides in the same directory as the HTML file (/splunk/etc/apps/MyApp/appserver/static/xyz.jpg)
Can anyone tell me why the image isn't appearing? 

Thanks!

All you have to do is not put those single quote marks around the src param

<module name="ServerSideInclude" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col2">
  <param name="src">foo.html</param>
</module>

I figured it out. The path to the image in the HTML has to look like this: /static/app/MyApp/xyz.jpg

Thanks all for your help!
