Compass: How to reference to different sprites wit

Question

Suppose we have 2 sprite folders inside the img folder of a standard Compass project. Inside each one of them, we have other 2 folders with identical names:

project/img/chapter1/icons
project/img/chapter2/icons

We know Compass uses the last folder name so as to reference to the sprite. But, in this case, how could one call each one of them?

Answer 1

Don't use the magic, use the helpers:

$icons1-sprite: sprite-map("project/img/chapter1/icons/*.png");
$icons2-sprite: sprite-map("project/img/chapter2/icons/*.png");
