Conditional image and image source in SSRS

I have images stored in database for some of the items but not for the others. If there is no image in the database I would like to display static placeholder image embedded in the report.
Is there a way to achieve that? The problem I experience is that there is no way to specify expression for Image Source. I tried to use expressions for Value field (when Image Source is set to Database) to specify the name for embedded image depending on
condition but nothing I tried worked.

If your image is embedded in a tablix then, yes, you are sourced to a single dataset. However the Lookup function pulls in "related" data from another dataset. Related is in quotes because there are ways to fool it. The syntax is:
=Lookup(index_current_dataset, index_other_dataset,field_to_get_from_other_dataset, other_dataset_name)
If you have a second dataset, "Second", that returns a single column, "Picture", that is your default image, you can retrieve that image using lookupset as follows:
=Lookup(1,1,Fields!Picture.Value,"Second")
the 1,1 is used to fool the lookup expression. Since 1 will always match 1, it will return everything in the dataset, which is the single image. Throw that into a logical check (IIf) and you get:
=IIf(IsNothing(Fields!RelatedImage.Value), Lookup(1,1,Fields!Picture.Value,"Second"), Fields!RelatedImage.Value)
That said Andre's approach should work also. the example may be for embedded but the principle should work for db as well since you can set a formula for visibility. Yours is in a tablix so it will require some tweaks.
In the cell where the image will be embedded, first add a rectangle. The rectangle will allow you to add 2 images to the cell. Add your default image and set its source to whatever you like. It can even be an embedded image. Now add a second image and set
it to your database image field. In the visibility property of each image set it show or hide based on an expression:
default image expression: =IIf(IsNothing(Fields!Image.Value),false,true)
db image expression: =IIf(IsNothing(Fields!Image.Value),true,false)
You will want to set the cell width/height so it is equal or smaller than 1 image in design view. A table cell can grow bigger at runtime to accommodate more content but not smaller. Because of this, you need to set the design-time cell height and width
equal or smaller than a single image.
The advantage of this approach is that the default image does not need to come from a dataset like with my suggestion.

Images and image maps do not respond to events on Safari

Hello everyone,
We have been experiencing issues with events not responding to images associated with image maps, on Safari browser. After the DOM is loaded with new image and corresponding image maps, events such as mouseover and click observing this divs do not respond or get triggered. DOM seems to be updated correctly but behaves differently (and it works correctly in all other browsers except Safari).
This behaviour is only noticed in Safari browser running both on Windows and Mac. (Tested on Safari Version 3.1.1 on running on Windows and Mac)
For you all to have a closer look at this issue, I have created a sample that has this problem, similar to one we experienced during one of our recent projects. Please click on the link below to get to the sample (I recommend you to try this either in Firefox or IE before you do on Safari)
http://www.hivegroup.com/safari/test.html
(In the above sample,
- the javascript code initializes the DOM with image and image map
- assigns two event listeners to the div containing this image and image map
- when mouse pointer brought over the image, it shows the area id in the 'mobox' div
- when clicked, DOM is updated with a new image and new corresponding image map, assigns new event listeners and should continue with the same kinda behaviour it did for the first image (but doesn't in Safari browser))
All inputs on this issue are welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Shashi.

Let me explain what the pink area is. Like the first image that contains two white boxes, the pink area (as you call it) is a new image (containing four pink areas or boxes having an area id denoted to each) that imgDiv occupies after the 'click' event occurs.
Yep, i gathered that from seeing it work on firefox...
The point that I'm trying to make here is, there shouldn't be any difference in behaviour when imgDiv holds first image (two white boxes) or the second image (four pink boxes) that you get after we click on image or the third image (containing 6 boxes, multiple colors) which you won't be able to reach in safari browser.
well... I can reach them, but only via the blue space.
. We'll notice change in the red box displaying target id only when we mouse over a new area that is not currently being displayed in the red box.
except in webkit for safari 2, where thered bpx content sticks at whatever it was when the first image was clicked, unless mouse is moved to the 'all area', and then it sticks on imgdiv.
I completely understand what you see in safari 2. But are you saying there's some error in my script ? If so could you please point out and justify.
I dunno Shashi, just pointing out the errors that Safari 2 reports when I view your test page, in the hope it might help. I know little of javascript

Images (and image folders) in the same folder as Lightroom Catalog?

I'm just switching over from Aperture 3 to Lightroom 4. I'm wondering if its ok (or smart) to keep the images (and image subfolders) in the same folder that the Lightroom.lrcat and Previews files are kept in. I'm trying to better organize my Pictures folder so that there are a whole bunch of separate sub-folders. Thoughts?

In Lightroom, there is no specific location where the photos should go. You can put them wherever you want, based upon your storage needs and hard drive setup.
So, with regards to your specific question, yes you can put the photos in the same folder as where the .lrcat is located, I can't see any harm, but I also don't think you need to do the work to make that happen. You can pretty much leave your photos where they are (which is easier and less time consuming) than moving them to the .lrcat folder, and easier and less time consuming than moving them at all.
In fact, I strongly suggest you change your thought processes from "Where do I put my photos" to "How can I organize my photos". Now that you are a Lightroom user, you organize your photos from within Lightroom, not by moving them here to there, but by adding keywords and other metadata. Organizing, now that you are LR user, is not folders ... it is metadata. Searching, now that you are a LR user, is not done in your operating system and in folders, it is done in LR by searching for keywords and other metadata.

When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

Peter,
The screenshots tell you everything.
The second one tells you how the image frame is automatically set up after a one-click place. It's the blue stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line. This image frame is generated at a proportionally correct height and width for the image it contains.
Now, if you look at the third screenshot (click on it to see it at a larger size), you will see I've used the direct selection tool (white arrow) to click on the image within the image frame. This CLEARLY shows the image (within the image frame) is substantially larger than the frame generated to contain it. This is indicated by the yellow stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line.
Notice that the blue and yellow rectangles are vastly different sizes.
In InDesign CS5.5, when i clicked to place the image, the image would fit perfectly within its image frame. the blue and yellow rectangles would match.
I had no need to go click on the proportional fill and centre buttons like i need to do now in CC.
I have a keyboard shortcut to place. I can't do File > Place for the amount of images i need to place.
So to reiterate: How do i place an image so that the image and image frame match?

Lightroom 5 is not showing previous sucessfuly imported images and images are not identified as missing, there are no images shown in the library, how do I reconnect missing images?

If the images are not identified as missing ... then you can't reconnect them
But I'm not really sure what is happening, as I don't understand your description of the problem, could you show us a screen capture? Or describe what appears on your screen in much more detail...

Conditional Text and Image based on Excel column values

Hi,
I have an excel file which contains data that needs to be imported/merged in an InDesign document. I have converted that file into a CSV... I'm unable to figure out how to create document using Data Merge after evaluating some conditions on data ... Example InDesing document layout is like below and will be repeated for say 200 data rows...
Heading 1
Text 1, Text 2
Text 3
Image
Heading 1, Text 1 and Text 2 even Image value will be set after checking some condition like below
if ( column 'A' == ' ' && column 'B' == '1')
Set 'Heading 1' == column X
if ( column 'C' == '0' && file.exist(column C & '.jpg'))
Set 'Image' == column C & '.jpg'
Can someone please guide me how to create document when CSV and Images are given based on this scenario? and even if Data Merge is the right solution for this.
-- Thanks.

Data merge can only reproduce one layout, so you can't merge 200 rows and then change things unless you do it in separate documents and then combine them. Of course anything you can do via scripting or manually on a regular document you can also do to a merged document after the merge is complete.
It sounds like this is a multiple-records-per-page scenario. TO do that you set up ONE instance only of what you want to merge, in the upper left position on the page. ID then duplicates EVERYTHING that is on the page as many times as will fit using the spacing parameters you provide. This means you need to be careful with frame sizes so they don't extend beyond where they should, but it also means you can add a no-fill, no-stroke frame as a border or bounding box to make it easier to get a precise size to be used by each record. Frames in merged documents are not threaded from record to record (though there are methods for doing that after the merge, if desired), so deleting a record normally leaves a hole in the page.
If you have master page items, it's probably best to us the "none" master before the merge, then apply the correct master page after.

Was reading book official appearing pop up came up asking if I wanted to upgrade-I pressed to do it and iPad is frozen with iTunes image and image of charger cord

Was reading book on iPad
Pop up asked if I wanted to upgrade- probably stupidly I agreed- now iPad screen is frozen with ITunes symbol and image of charger cord on screen- tried turning it off - no help.

Carolyn explained how to reset the iPad. You don't need a tool or clip to do this...just your fingers.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
I do not think that is going to work, but try it.
You are getting the connect to iTunes message and that usually means that your iPad needs to be restored.

Images and image field problem

Hi
I would like the user to be able to upload an image that will be scaled proportionally to the size of the field pre determined.
I understand that options of image field: "scale image proportionally" is meant for this exactly.
For some reason, this works with images but not with image fields.
please see a printscreen I have made of the problem: same field size and same image uploaded
thanks

Centered image and image locked to bottom corner

Hi,
I mainly work in Flash, I do not work in html or Dreamweaver
very often.
I recently got the Adobe master collection CS3.
Before that I used Dreamweaver MX
I have 2 questions
1.
How do I center a JPEG in a web page?
previously I put a single cell table on the page with width
and height set to 100%.
Cell set to center and middle.
Now Dreamweaver only has a width option on the properties
dialog, although the help refers to a height option.
I tried putting height in myself, no luck.
<table width="100%" table height = "100%" border="0">
<tr align="center" valign="middle">
<td align="center" valign="middle">
2.
The addition of this probably affects the best way to do the
first question.
I need a logo graphic to be in the bottom right corner of the
same browser window.
I need it to stay there even if the page is scrolled.
I have seen this but can not seem to find a tutorial.
Any help greatly appreciated
By the way even if a table is not involved in the solution
for centering the image in this scenario I would be interested to
know why I can not do it in CS3

It's cheesy. Search for "persistent layer".

What's the difference between Image and Image Frame?

I'm a little confused about how Muse treats bitmap images. Sometimes when you resize a high resolution image, the resulting bitmap is resized to the final wanted resolution but sometimes the bitmap is stored in hi res and is only resized in the browser view.
I have a hires logo and I want to put it in the web in different sizes but instead of storing a resized image, Muse always stores it in full hi res. I believe it has something to do with being inside an Image Frame because images that are not inside an image frame are stored resized. But if I double click the image frame so the image is selected (with orange borders), and then copy it, when I paste it again, it is also pasted with the Image Frame. If I use the menu command File/Place, it also appears inside an Image Frame.
So to make long story short, what I need is to place a hi res image, reduce it in size and I want Muse to save it at that size, not at original resolution.
Of course I know I can resize it in Photoshop and use the resized image but that's not the point here.

In Lists - How do you write an Image and Attributes in the defined fields?

I have tried #IMAGE_PREFIX#load_ascii.gif with no results..
then tried /i/load_ascii.gif
then tried load_ascii.gif
Can you give me an example or something else is wrong because just a diamond bullet is showing up? Trying to emulate the Run icon in the Application Developer's home Page.. or is this the wrong way of doing it?

Using a list, I want to apply an image from the /i/ folder. In the List Entry Area under Label and Sequence I tried several syntax varations with no luck in the Image and Image Attributes Fields. With the List Entry Label I want to display and Icon (Image) they can click on with the List Entry Label below the image.. I've tried #IMAGE_PREFIX#load_ascii.gif with no results..

JavaBeans and Images

Most bean building tools I've discovered so far have no way to stick images or icons on JLabels or JButtons, which is a bit of a pain. I assume this comes down to the fact that Image isn't serialisable, so as soon as you put one on a JLabel for instance, the JLabel isn't really a bean.
I was thinking of a few ways around it ..
(1) Make a sub-class of Image which is serialisable, and has two instance variables, (a) an image object, which we'll make transient, and (b) a resource identifier that can be used to get to this image, perhaps through JNDI. That way, it's serialisable because the only member is a string.
(2) Make a sub-class of Icon which does a similar thing.
(3) Make wrappers around JLabel, JButton, etc, and again, do the same thing.
Number 3 is the only one which works easily using the existing GUIs, but it strikes me as a rather heavy-handed way to get the functionality we want here. "All we want" is a way to drag and drop images and image-rendered components to make games. (Although, now that I look at the requirement, it sounds a bit like doctor evil asking for sharks with laser beams on their heads.)
Number 1 and 2 would be really clean, if only the building tools around had the concept of images. (Hell, JBuilder doesn't even allow you to select the icons for buttons using its visual designer. It has a drop down box for it, which is always empty. Why bother?)
Is there any obvious way around all this, or will we be wrapping every single useful swing class to get this functionality? Perhaps there's a bean builder out there that can do images with less pain?

I am not sure of what you want. If you mean that you'd like to attach an Icon to a JButton/JLabel using a tool such as the Beanbox, then I think that the String property solution you have in mind is good.
You put all the icons in the same "icon" folder. You create a String property which values are limited to the icon names contained in the "icon" folder (you can use java.io to list all the names of the .gif (or whatever) files in the folder, and create an array out of it). The user will then be able to select, from a tool like the Beanbox, the icon he wants to use.
This solution seems simple and efficient. You seem to think that it's not appropriate. Why?
