Accessing images from shared components

I am having problem finding out images from shared components. After loading my images from my desktop to shared components folder, when i try to create an image item, and click the browse button, it pulls out my hard drive for selection. i don't know how to get the images already in shared components. i read in the help file that if i know the name of the image, then i can write it down and portal will pull it out. but what if i don't remember. do i have to go to shared components to find what it is and then come back and write it in the textbox?how to get to shared components clicking browse and selecting the image we want which is already stored in portal?
thanks
valli

There's no way to browse and select the images in shared components. You need to know the URL to the image if you want to reference it in an item.

Hello,
The images in Shared Components -> Images are ones you have uploaded specifically for your application (or workspace). They are unrelated (strictly speaking) to the images in the /i/ folder (which are either stored on the filesystem if you use the OHS or stored in the DB if you use the EPG etc).
Hope this helps,
John.

How can I access images from IPhoto on my Mac to Photoshop CS6

How can I access images from IPhoto library on my Mac to Photoshop CS6? I enable jpg with format "Photoshop" and this is what comes up - "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Photoshop is not a format. It's an application.
What you are looking at are not true JPEGs, just iPhoto's "tease" representations of the hidden images it swallowed, as explained above.

How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

Referencing CSS from Shared Components/Cascading Style Sheets

Apex 4.0
I've been placing my CSS style sheet in Shared Components/Cascading Style Sheets. And referencing it as follows <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#app300.css">.
For weeks all has seemed to work fine. I make changes to app300.css in Cascading Style Sheets. Clear cache. And see my change.
But suddenly it stopped working. More specifically my updates don't take. I firebug and look at the file under CSS and don't see my changes. app300.css is unchanged. Then I deleted app300.css from Shared Components/Cascading Style Sheets. The file is deleted. No longer in the Cascading Style Sheets panel. But the old file still appears when I look under firebug.
Simply a brain cramp for me. I know this is probably obvious but I can't figure it out.

Hi,
If your file still recides in the database, you might want to try deleting it with a procedure from the wwv_flow_api package:
set serveroutput on
declare
l_security_group_id number;
begin
select workspace_id into l_security_group_id
from   APEX_040000.APEX_WORKSPACES;
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id
      (p_security_group_id => l_security_group_id);
wwv_flow_api.create_or_remove_file
    ( p_name           => 'app300.css'
    , p_location       => 'WORKSPACE'
    , p_mode           => 'REMOVE'
    , p_type           => 'CSS'
commit;
end;
You can run this using SQL developer/ Toad or whatever program you use, but I don't think you can run in the SQL workshop of Apex.
Run it as workspace owner.
First part sets the apex engine to point to the correct workspace id in Apex, change "APEX040000" to match your version of Apex.
Second part is the procedure that should remove your file from the database.
Make sure you commit your changes and try to upload your css file again.

Vincent

Access image from jspdynpage

I am trying to access the image from jspdynpage. I placed image at dist/images folder of my EP project. I export the par to the server. I used the src path for the img element is "images/demo1.jpg". It is displaying in my jsp page. Help is appreciated. I have another quesiton is that can I place all images in one of the directory. From jspDynpage can we access these images or not?
-Sudheer.

Sudheer,
You could do the following.
<% String img = componentRequest.getWebResourcePath() + "/images/demo1.jpg"; %>
<img border="0" src=<%=img%> width="50" height="50">

Importing external images into shared components

Hi,
I need to use a UP&DOWN arrow image "GIF" files in one of my portal hierarchy component.
I could not locate these type of up&down arrow gif files in images direcftory of shared components.
However left and right arrows are available, but I need up&down arrows.
How can I import a externally created "GIF" file into images folder of shared components.
Any ideas/pointers are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Surya

You can add the image (store it in wwdoc_document$) and then refer to it using the /docs/??.gif method. Or , add it to a folder
and then refer to it. One piece of unsolicited advice: why don't you store it on the file system. In my experience, the image is
retrieved a lot faster, than when in the db (and you avoid the security checks that the Portal makes)

How access images from iPhoto Library?

I appear to have done something terrible with one of my iPhoto libraries.
Over the holidays, as I recall, I had attempted to move the iPhoto library from the computer to an external hard drive.
This particular library, now on the external drive, shows 266 gigabytes in the finder, but I can't access any of the images.
So, something appears to be in the iPhoto library, but something may be missing that permits access.
If there's no hope of recovery of 2 years of images, should I just delete the library -- and lose all images forever?
Or, is there some hope or method of recovery?

Well it wouold really help if you told us that version of iPhoto you have - and exactly what you did? and exactly what is happening? we know nothing at all about your or your system except what you tell us - which at this stage is only that you have a problem of some sort.
The only wild guess I can make at this time it for you to depress and hold the option key and launch iPhoto and select the library on the external drive.

Rescuing and/or Accessing Images From Aperture Database Without Aperture

Early reviews of Aperture mentioned that Aperture created a closed, inaccessible database of all the images contained therein. This apparently means that these images cannot be accessed unless you have Aperture. Does anyone else feel nervous about this? What happens if the Aperture database is corrupted and won't open? As far as I can see, you would be toast because you couldn't reach your images. I would appreciate hearing from someone who can address these concerns. How stable is the Aperture database? Is there a chance it could be corrupted and refuse to open? And if so, how would you go about rebuilding it and/or rescuing your images? It also appears that the only way you can move images is by exporting them (which requires a working program).
Any thoughts?

No problem! Trying to answer these questions is a very helpful way to learn the app by looking at aspects of it I have not encountered yet.
Yes, you can rebuild the Aperture database in a similar way to Entourage (and iPhoto). Holding down command-option after launching Aperture will make a Rebuild Library dialog appear. HOWEVER, don't do this unless you really want to see it work, because there seems to be no way to cancel the process. You can choose Rebuild Now or Don't Rebuild. If you choose Don't Rebuild, your Projects will nonetheless need to be recovered before use. The dialog mentions a Rebuild Later button, but there is no such button available.
I have done this a few times both ways in the course of writing this, and there does not seem to be any negatives to rebuilding other than the time rebuilding takes, so if your projects aren't large it may be worth doing now to get comfortable with the process.

Accessing images from content areas

I have added an image item to a content area. I want to use this image elsewhere as part of an image rollover in a portlet. How do I gain access to tehis image so it can be used as part of a javascript routine?

Gerry,
You can create a logical URL to the image. Check the Portal online help for the topic "Direct Access URL". The Direct Access URL for any item is displayed in its property sheet. The property sheet can be displayed by editing the Folder Style/Folder Layout.
You can also get the image's physical URL by right-clicking on the image and viewing its properties (in IE).

Accessing Image from oracle to VB.

How can access the stored image in oracle 8.0 table to Visual BASIC 6.0.?
PLease give me the help regarding to its supporting file , if it is using any file, like ocx, dll etc.
And also give me the links for getting its ocx and dll files.

Here's an Oracle Magazine article that illustrates how to display an image stored as a blob in the database on a Windows Form:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/05-nov/o65odpnet.html
Perhaps that will be enough to get you going in the right direction.

Hi Arney,
maybe you should first also give the suggestion of ram another chance, because you can also use it in your class code:
String url = request.getWebResourcePath() + "/images/draft.jpg";
Otherwise to avoid the hardcoding you can either perform configuration in your portalapp.xml with the server prefix and read it out, or write a little method that retrieves your server name. This is however not as trivial as it might look like. I personally have a method like follows:
public String getBasePortalUrl(IPortalComponentRequest request) {
     StringBuffer requestURL = request.getServletRequest().getRequestURL();
     //Parse the server name,port etc. out of this request url, depending on your system environment
     //Normally you parse till you get to /irj

Installed Camera Raw update, still cannot access images from Canon G15

Not able to access files from Workspace Images and Static files

Hi,
We have just migrated our APEX Application from one server to another.
All the functionality is working fine except the images or files which we are uploading
in
Shared Components -> Static Files
Shared Components -> Images
We are uloading Images in Shared Components -> Images but those are not getting displayed there.
Similarly the files which we are uploaded in Shared Components -> Static Files are not accessible. If we
try to download using download icon its showing blank screen.
I am using some javascript files which i have uploaded into static files, but not able to refer them in page.
Please someone guide us how to resolve the above problem.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards
Sanjay

Hello Sanjay,
If you upload any static files such as IMAGES, FILES, or CSS you have to use the tags: #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# or #IMAGE_PREFIX# depending on your files location..
then try something like htp.p ('<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#fileName.gif" />');
And it should show the fileName.gif on your browser...
I am not sure if i remember correctly, you can reference files to a specific application or to the whole application, if I am not mistaken..Correct me..

Images uploaded in Shared Components not displaying

We recently installed version 4.2.1 on a new dedicated server. The entire setup went through without error.
The default images found in apex (/i/apex/builder/ etc.) are all visible. But when we upload any image through Shared Components > Images do not show on screen. An entry is available in the report on the Images page but the image itself is blank. The URL of the image is shown as : "+http://hostname:port/apex/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=100000&p_flow_id=100&p_fname=Sampleimage.jpg+". The image is available in the wwv_flow_file_objects$ table and can be viewed through the BLOB_CONTENT column. But it is not visible in the front end.
Is there a solution to this issue?
Thanks,
Aniket

If not then consider using the #APP_IMAGES# substitution istring nstead of #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#
