Images Object

In a template how can I display an image if I only have the 'image' object (e.g. image.ID)? How do I get the filepath? The specific implementation I am using references an image uploaded inline in a document.

Re: Images Object

Are you saying that this image has been previously uploaded in another document? You can reference it directly, if that's the case, in an <img/> tag. Right click on the image when you're viewing the document and select "Properties." The URL to the image should be on that dialogue somewhere.

 

Cheers,

Brad

Re: Images Object
Yes, the image has been uploaded in another document, however, I am trying to automate the insertion of the image in a template (associate an image with each document). To do this I use document.images and choose the first image object, but from there I don't know how to display it.

Re: Images Object

It seems that I might be able to construct the filepath with something like:

 

src="/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-${document.documentID}-???-${image.ID?c}/${image.fileName}"

 

Where '???' is I do not know what variable to place, it seems to be integers from 1 through 5 on the images I've seen. I have to imagine there is a more elegant way do call up in image if you know its ID. Can someone at least point me towards some documentation on this?

Re: Images Object

Do you have to upload these as attachments or inline to a document? Can these images be put on your server as a static resource instead? That would give you more flexibility with regard to naming...

 

We usually recommend that custom images go in your theme resources folder.

Re: Images Object

Did you found any answers to this question ? I'm stuck with the same issue.
