Dynamic images - positions

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I need to place images dynamically on the layout. The Image URLs I receive in an internal table with the x and y coordinates. ( I don't know how many of them will be in the table )
So the questions
- Is it possible to create Image objects runtime?
- Is it possible to set the x y coordinates of an image object?
If so, how?
Thanks,
Tamas

Problem solved a different way.
( It is possible to to do that, but the rotation and transparent background images have restrictions. So it is better to use e.g. webservices to put the picture together and then use the complete image to put on the form. )

Dynamic image positioning in SAPScript

Hi everyone!
I have been searching the whole internet but unfortunately did not find a solution for my problem, maybe someone of you knows how to solve it:
I want to print thumbnail pictures beside items of an inquiry. I know that there are variable windows, witch can be positioned left to the MAIN window using the x- and y-coordinates. But how can I find out where the item starts and ends to find the right place? Something like a &SAPSCRIPT-CURRENT_LINE& variable would help me a lot to calculate the correct postion relative to the item.
The items have 3 to n lines, so just multiplying the item number with a fix number of lines wont work. In fact I can not even say for sure if there are one, two, three or more pictures on one side because it depends on the number of lines of the items.
Does anyone have a solution?
Best regards
Bernd

This is the way I do it...And it works for me -;)

Dynamic image is not being displayed in Adobe Reader 8.1

Hi,
In interactive form, we have followed below required steps to show a dynamic image.
For the left image, drag and drop an Image Field element from the standard Library tab to the Body Pages pane. Select this image field and edit the following properties:
Click on the Layout tab and choose None for the Caption position.
Click on the Object, then the Binding tab and choose None for Default Binding.
Click on the Field tab, enter $record.SapOnlineShopUrl for the URL entry, and select Use Image Size for the Sizing field.
Click on the script editor and enter the following FormCalc script statement, which enables the dynamic integration of the image. Show: initialize Script: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
Language: FormCalc Run At: Client
Image is displayed properly in Adobe reader 7.1 but it's not being displayed in Adobe reader 8.1.
I was going through some forums and understand that Adobe 8.1 blocks href URL. If this is indeed true, what's the alternative way to show a dynamic image?

Chandra

Dynamic Images in PDF Report

Hi,
I want to create Badges from employee table (ID, NAME, JOB_TITLE, PHOTO). I downloaded and installed a demo application "USING DYNAMIC IMAGES IN PDF REPORT". It works fine with smale images < 20K. I'm getting the following error for images > 20K :
"ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: raw variable length too long"
it seems like a buffer problem.
could you pls help to solve this problem
Thanks,
Ribhi

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!

Showing dynamic images in BI Publisher PDF report

I defined a RTF report layout in BI Publisher. Almost done, but one requirement missing...
I should be able to include a dynamic image (so every "object" on the report has it's own image).
At first I embedded the base64 converted image in the XML output, but then I am running into the 32K limit. (Small pictures render fine).
Although Marc Sewtz sort of promised in June 2008 (!) : "One issue, which we'll address in the next version of Application Express, is the 32k limit on report columns." on his blogpost http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-question-about-pdf-printing-feature.html , it still not addressed.
So I tried to embed the image in the report using a trick described on the forum (and BIP documentation), by embedding a dummy picture and set the "Alt-text" of the picture to
(as an example) : url:{'http://www.oracleimg.com/us/assets/oralogo-small.gif'}.
The strange thing is, that works fine for HTML Output and Excel output, but not for Word and PDF (why it does work for Excel and not for Word is very mysterious....). And of course I need a PDF output.
I also tried to embed a FO snippet:
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="url:{'http://www.oracleimg.com/us/assets/oralogo-small.gif'}" />
</fo:block>
But that doesn't (seem to) work on any output...
But
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="D:\Users\rhartman\Documents\PrintScreen Files\Screenshot004.jpg" />
</fo:block>
does produce the image on the PDF output.
So who has an idea how to solve this issue?? You'll be rewarded with a lot of pionts ;-)
TIA

Dynamic image displays depending on yes / no value

Dynamic image displays depending on yes / no value
I´d like to have a image showing, depending on a specific value (y/n)
..sorry need some help.
I can´t get it workin.....
<img <?php $status="n";
if ($status == "y") {
echo 'src="stecker_on.png" alt="yes"';
} else {
echo 'src="stecker_off.png" alt="no"';
} ?> height="71" width="101" />
The image ist not showing... ideas ?
All I get ist some text showing:
height="71" width="101" />
MANY THANKS !!!!

Presumably you mean this -
http://mediaconsults.de/1test/steckertest.php
And it's not clear what that is going to show me. Looking at the code on the page -
<html>
<head>
<title>Unbenanntes Dokument</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
</head>
<body background="test%20png.png">
<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:1290px; top:246px; width:95px; height:112px; z-index:1"><img src="stecker_off.png" alt="no"height="101" width="71" /></div>
</body>
</html>
I would advise you the following:
1. Put a valid and complete doctype on that page!
2. Get rid of the resize if NN4 javascript - it hasn't been needed for nearly a decade.
3. Fix your image code (note the missing space after "no"!
4. 1290px is way too wide unless you want lots of people scrolling right to see things.

Dynamic Image Watermarking

Hi All,
I have a requirement to dynamically insert the Image watermark depending on the Organization which i get from my XML output. For example
IF
<ORGANIZATION>Org1</ORGANIZATION>
THEN insert Org1.jpg as image watermark
IF
<ORGANIZATION>Org2</ORGANIZATION>
THEN insert Org2.jpg as image watermark
I already tried using the dynamic imaging method according to the link below:
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/05/dynamic_images.html
It's working fine if i use image *(url)* as part of my template but not as the watermark
I also tried using the Subtemplate but this is calling only my template but not the image watermark
Please let me know if i am missing some thing or if there is any other way to handle this.
Thanks,
Prasanth

Dynamic Images Scroller - Almost Finished

Ciao Guys,
I am developing a Dynamic Images Scroller , It is almost
finished (even if it is still a bit rough)
Since I am a self-taught coder, I had to build the whole
project using different tutorials.
The scroller is XML driven and display the images which move
from left to right. When one of the images is clicked:
The scrolling STOPS.
The image clicked is enlarged
And the other pictures are scaled and faded away.
(No problem up to this point)
Then once the Enlarged picture is clicked again everything
should come back to the initial status.
My issue is that I haven’t be able to
“restart” the function which move the images along the
stage.
Once the enlarge image is clicked I delete the function which
scroll the image but How I should lunch it again?
Here is my messy code, Please help me and I’ll buy you
a beer when you are in London.
I am using AS2 and flash player 8

Dynamic image in the template builder plug-in does not work

Hi all,
The documentation says:
Direct Insertion
Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
+...This works obviously+
URL Reference
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
+...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}+
Element Reference from XML File
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
+...This, however, does not work.+
I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
Regards
PS: My BI version: 10.1.3.4.1

F.setSize(480, 240);
PlayJpg A = new PlayJpg();
F.add(A);
A.start(); // Web browser calls start() automatically
// A.init(); - we skip calling it this time
// because it contains only Applet specific tasks.

I only get the first frame picture for ever by my html.But the jpg file is dynamic.
Why?
Can you help me?

Hi,
Add this line inside your run() method, right before your call to repaint():
if (image != null) {image.flush();}Hope this helps,
Kurt.

How do get a dynamic image to open in new browser window

I'm using DW CS3, mysql (MAMP) OS 10.6.2 I'm designing my online store. I need the customer to be able to click dynamic image/thumbnails to view a larger image in a new browser pop up window 400 x 400. An example of this functionality can be seen at :
http://www.designpublic.com/spot-on-square-roh-dresser
So far I can get the separate new browser window to open with the dynamic image, using the open new browser behavior, but the on click also advances to next page with the larger image. You have to press the back button to get back to the product page. I want the customer to be able to see the product page , while viewing larger image, and then close larger image, and still have the product page open. I don't understand why 2 windows are opening.
Thanks for the help people!
William

Hi
I did look at it but, (and this is only my opinion, I do not like such effects) it is your decision.
If you view source you will see -
<a href="#" onclick="popWin('http://www.designpublic.com/catalog/product/gallery/id/12706/image/91883/', 'gallery', 'width=300,height=300,left=50,top=50,location=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;" title="Spot on Square Roh Dresser" class="gallery-image-link"><img src="http://arcsmedia01.s3.amazonaws.com/catalog/product/cache/2/thumbnail/56x56/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/r/o/roh_dresser1.jpg" alt="" /></a>
Which is controlled by the javascript function
popWin()
which you can view using the firefoxe dev toolbar - view javascript function.

Dynamic Image Displays Blank When Using In Visual Studio Project

I am trying to simply display a dynamic image in a report. I am using Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
I have two different environments: Local via Progress where reports are called using Crystal Viewer ActiveX, and over the web where reports are called from Open Laszlo and Visual Studio project.
The image is set to a blank image as default, and Graphic Location Forumla loads the image from the database (site.logo_location + site.logo_filename) which results in an image http:
www.vetinfo3.com\a.jpg.
When I run the reports locally using the ActiveX control, it works just fine and displays the image.
When I run over the web using OpenLaszlo, it displays a blank.
Troubleshooting
We are using Visual Studio 2005, which is bundled with an older version of Crystal that doesn't support dynamic images.
To address this, I loaded Crystal XI Release 2, which updated the version in Visual Studio and enabled the Graphic Location formula field on the dev machine.
I verified the Graphic Location field was set correctly.
This caused a Version error, so we loaded cr_net_2005_mm_mlb_x86.zip on server and specified the Version in web.Config.
No errors now, but when I build and publish the code, the image still displays as blank.
            From Fiddler
               GET http://www.vetinfo3.com/mdsol1/CrystalImageHandler.aspx?dynamicimage=cr_tmp_image_c5d6a923-293b-4f1e-8739-4e698f83b087.png
               Creates C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\PWRUX2XW\CrystalImageHandler[1].png
               Blank Image
According to issues within Visual Studio, they say the fix to this is to add the <httpHandler> in web.Config, but it is already there; added when we add the viewer to the project:
In web.Config I have some questions about this line:
    <httpHandlers>
      <add verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandler, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
    </httpHandlers>
There are more service packs for Crystal XI Release 2:
crXIr2sp2_net_server_install.zip
crXIr2sp3_net_server_install.zip
crXIr2sp4_net_server_install.zip
I have not loaded these yet, but the readme files do not indicate they fix any dynamic image issues.
I am out of ideas on this; does anyone have any ideas?

What about if you take OpenLaszlo out of the picture? E.g.; use one of our samples from here;
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
I'd recommend vbnet_web_simplepreviewreport
Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0437ea8-97d2-2b10-2795-c202a76a5e80] article.

Dynamic Images in Crystal Reports

I have a report with Dynamic Images. I am able to run the report but once I try to export it or try to browse through the pages I get the following error:
Application popup: Crystal Reports - [Inventory Graphics Report.rpt]: crw32.exe - Application Error : The exception Integer division by zero.
(0xc0000094) occurred in the application at location 0x2c03a410.

Hi Don,
I have read your response 10 times, but I don't really understand it.
"Your only option is to use the Insert OLE Object or picture into the report" - fine, but how is this achieved from a dataset?
"CR will not display BLOB fields as pictures" - fine, but maybe I used the word BLOB badly. The dataset column datatype is "byte[]". Will CR display byte[] columns as pictures?
"You can use a database field to point to which picture file to use, then you won't be using up valuable memory space importing the images into your data set. And the Logo's now dynamic...." - this seems to suggest that the database field is a string storing the file location on disk. Yes? I don't care about memory space in this case and I'm happy to load a binary file into a byte[] column if there is a way of displaying it.
So, if I understand correctly, you're suggesting the dataset contain a table.row.column which stores the filelocation. How do I convert that to display as a picture (dynamically)?

How to insert a dynamic image from a database

I've recently started using Dreamweaver CC to set up a Dynamic Website (PHP pages with a mySQL database). With perseverance and by downloading the new depreciated Server Behaviors and Bindings Panels I've been more or less successful at accomplishing my tasks. I'm still struggling with getting a image to display from mySQL server data base. In the Pre CC revisions this was easy and well documented. I've downloaded the DMXZone HTML5 Data Bindings extension. I can almost get accomplish my dynamic image task, but the DMXZone HTML5 Data Bindings extension says I must now get the the "unfinished but working on" DMX Zone Database Extension in addition to the HTML5 Data Bindings Extension to select my data source from the database.
I'm thinking about dumping Dreamweaver CC altogether and just installing CS6 until the path gets better paved. Any other ideas? Sample code? Work around? Thanks in advance

Really you would do it like any other piece of information in your database.
Store the actual images in a folder on your server and the image file name in the database - myImage.jpg
Then echo it to the page following the convention of your other data which is being echoed onto the page:
<img scr="images/<?php echo $row_rsRecordSetName['images']; ?> alt="" >
['images'] above being the name of the database field in which you stored the image name and $row_rsRecordSetName being the variable created by the recordset (yours will be different)

Dynamic Images in PDF and Escaping Special Characters

I used the following to create my own PDFs with dymnamic images:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html (Dynamic Images in PDF - What 32k Limit? )
I have installed this application on Oracle's free workspace to test.
The issue I am having is that when there is a special character in the description, such as <>'"& then the the PDF will not open. I have tried using the dmbs_xmlgen.convert to convert the description but haven't had any luck.
I'm a complete novice with xml. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Glen

I have been able to find a solution, but it's not completely perfect. I have changed the "description" field as follows:
XMLCdata(replace(description,''&'',''and'')) description,
The characters greater than (>), less than (<), single qoute('), and double quote (") can now all be in the description and will not cause errors. For some reason, I couldn't get the & not to give an error no matter what I tried, so I just replaced the & with the word "and". This solution will work for my needs, but it would be nice to be able to get the & to display.
Does anyone know of a way to get the & to display correctly?
Thanks again,
Glen
The complete code I am using is below:
declare
l_print_layout clob;
l_xml_data clob;
begin
-- load print layout from database
for c1 in (
select layout from eba_pdfimg_layouts where id = :P1_LAYOUT
) loop
l_print_layout := wwv_flow_utilities.blob_to_clob(c1.layout );
end loop;
-- generate XML data
for c2 in (
select dbms_xmlgen.getxml('
select
id,
file_name,
mime_type,
XMLCdata(replace(description,''&'',''and'')) description,
-- description,
blob2clobase64(image,''Y'') image
from eba_pdfimg_images
') xml_data from dual
) loop
l_xml_data := c2.xml_data;
end loop;
-- download print document
wwv_flow.g_page_text_generated := true;
apex_util.download_print_document (

p_report_data => l_xml_data ,
p_report_layout => l_print_layout,
