Dynamically set image path

Hello all,
I've created a XFA Dynamic form that imports a number of records from one of our local databases. One of these fields is the path to an image. I would like to set an image field to that url... or, better still, embed the image into the .pdf form itself.
Everything that I've read has told me that the only way to do so is to set the image field's raw value to a base64 string representation of that image. This isn't an option, as I have no way to convert that image to base64.... unless I can do so via SQL or javascript. I've been trying to do this for a few days with no luck.
I figure that I'm not the only one who has had this porblem. I was hoping that someone out there has developed a solution that they would be willing to share. I'd appreciate any help that anyone might be able to offer. Thanks =)

Hi there,
Thanks for your reply. The URL field is useful only to set a default image path. under the binding tab, when I bind the image to the url from a data connection, the url is displayed as text within the image field. No image appears.
The only solution that I've found online is to somehow get the image converted to base64... the issue is that the only technologies that I have available to me are SQL or javascript... neither of which were designed to convert images to base64.
Does onyone know where I can find a javascript function to convert an image to base64?

Setting Image Path

Hi,
Merry Easter to All of You!..
i am facing a problem in setting the dynamic image path in crystal report
the path is stored in Database field,and physical images are stored in a folder
the path specified is relative path and works fine when the report is run directly , but it seems that the report runs in temp folder when called from vb.net windows application.
hence the relative path specified w.r.t to database field fails when called from application.

Creating Symbol Instances containing a dynamically set image - Help Needed

I'm working on a site prototype that has many rollover images in the navigation. Each image is unique, but the rollover and rollout code is identical. I'm trying to create a single symbol that can be used for all of the rollovers, but need some help figuring this out, as it will significantly speed up my work.
I think the pseudocode would work like this:
Create a symbol that contains a default rollover image.
In the symbol, add the rollover and rollout code. This adjusts transparency from 0 -> 100 and back.
Create instances of the symbol over each item in the nav.
For each instance, set a variable containing the name of the rollover image to be used.
In that symbol instance, get the variable value.
In that symbol instance, use the image name in the variable to replace the default image.
Question: How do I make step 4-6 work? I have 1-3 working smoothly.P.S. My last dev work was waaaaay back with Director, PHP and ColdFusion. I still get basic principles such as using functions, objects, instances, inheritance etc, but the language has changed. And I have very very little experience with the DOM.
Appendix: How I'm Doing This Manually
There's a background image of the nav showing all of the unselected states
Each item in the nav has a corresponding rollover image, in a series of elements layered on top of nav element. Each rollover has opacity initially set to 0%.
Each image element has rollover, rollout and click triggers. Rollover and rollout triggers are identical for each. There's also a little more code with rollout that provides a quick fade. This means lots of copying identical code. I hate to think about having to change any part of that code.
Thanks! Chassy

Hi there,
Perhaps a more simple solution would be to set up 1 global function that handles over/out states for all your buttons. On mouseenter/mouseleave of each button you would call this function to fade in/out your rollover graphic.
Example:
http://www.timjaramillo.com/code/edge/rollover4_multiple_btns
Source:
http://www.timjaramillo.com/code/edge/_source/rollover4_multiple_btns.zip
Code on Stage.compositionReady (note there are btn symbols called btn_1, btn_2, btn_3, and all have an over state called "over" in them):
var array_btns = ["btn_1", "btn_2", "btn_3"];// array to hold all your btns
function setup_btns()
          // iterate through array_btns, add "mouseenter" and "mouseleave" for all
          for (var i=0; i<array_btns.length; i++){
                    // hide "over" state initially
                    sym.getSymbol( array_btns[i] ).$("over").hide();
                    sym.$( array_btns[i] ).mouseenter({obj:array_btns[i]}, function(e){
                              var btn = e.data.obj;
                              sym.getSymbol(btn).$("over").fadeIn(500);// show "over" graphic
                    sym.$( array_btns[i] ).mouseleave({obj:array_btns[i]}, function(e){
                              var btn = e.data.obj;
                              sym.getSymbol(btn).$("over").fadeOut(200);// hide "over" graphic

AFAIK, this is not the correct way to set the image location.
We call the working directory as context, so inside the context root along with WEB-INF, maintain a folder with name img and put all the images in that directory.
You can use either .\<image_folder> or the optimum way would be (if you are using JSPs) to use getContext() method and traverse accordingly.
FYI,,, using getContext() will give you context root directory, from there it is as simple as accessing any other folder.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers,

Image path sets ( servername) instead of \\servername

Due to a hardware meltdown I have had to rip the NW server out of the tree
and install a new one.
I have re-installed the server NW65sp8 and reinstalled ZENworks for Desktops
7
Now, When I set an imaging job on a workstation I browse to the server etc
and set the file path.
When I click apply or ok leave the object and go back in the path has
changed;
eg
(ZFDSRVSR) USER\zenimg\ws_master.zmg
instead of
\\ZFDSRVSR\USER\zenimg\ws_master.zmg
Any ideas on how I fix this?
Manual imaging works ok. I have deleted the ws object and re imported into
eDir

Hi Gianluigi,
Thanks for your reply. However, i did try to rename the .srf file to .xml file and change the path to the following
<b><specific image=".\test3.jpg" /></b>
But the program didn't work. But if i change it to <b><specific image="c:\test3.jpg" /></b>, give it the exact path then the program work again.
Do you have any idea on it?

But problem occurs when i try to run the crystalreport other than my machine. It always ask for databse password,server name.
Is it possible to set database path dynamically for sql server.
Please help me.
If anybody give me the detail procedure in c# ,it will be appriciated.

I recently came across this issue. I was able to get a
Crystal Report to work dynamically under limited conditions. If you create a
direct connect report for an Oracle database then, it will only connect to
other Oracle databases. The same is true for MSSQL and Sybase. When using the
CRPE or RDC API you must set the logon credentials for the report as a whole
and for each object within the report. Below is a snippet of my code C++ using
the RDC API. This should help get you going.
IReportPtr pReport;
IDatabaseTablesPtr pTables
IDatabaseTablePtr pTable
Int num_tables, i;
// set for whole report
pReport->Database->LogOnServer(DB_DLL, DB_Server_Name, DB_Name,
DB_User_Name, DB_Password);
pTables    = pReport->Database->GetTables();
num_tables = pReport->Database->Tables->Count;
for (i = 1; i <= num_tables; i++)
    pTable = pTables->GetItem(i);
    pTable->SetLogOnInfo(DB_DLL, DB_Server_Name, DB_Name,
DB_User_Name, DB_Password);   // set for each object

Programatically set ole object image path

Hi to all,
I'm using Visual Studio 2005, Asp.net 2.0-C# and CR 11 Sp2.
In my rpt file i added one ole object as bitmap i want to pass the data(image path) to this bitmap by programtically how to do this? Experts please help me

Hello, Winseelan;
If you are using Crystal Reports XI R2 (11.5) SP2 or later you can do this programatically using the 'Graphic Location' conditional formula.
To do this, perform the following steps:
1. Open the report in the Crystal Reports Designer.
2. Create a formula called "Location" that contains a temporary path string to an image file. For example, "C:\Images\Image1.jpg".
3. Right-click the image on the report and click 'Format Graphic'. The 'Format Editor' dialog box appears.
4. In the 'Picture' tab, click the 'Graphic Location' conditional formula button. The Format Formula Editor appears.
5. Call the "Location" formula from this conditional formula.
6. Save changes to the report.
7. In your application, you can now change the location of the image file at run time, by modifying the text in the "Location" formula programmatically using the following code:
myReport.DataDefinition.FormulaFields.Item("Location").Text = "C:\Images\Image2.jpg"
You can now view the image successfully when previewing your report in the application.

Handling dynamically generated Images

Hello,
I have a WDJ application that generates Images dynamically based on certain criterion. The dynamically generated images are put to the server using the code
BufferedImage image = <rendered image ...>
File outFile = new File( "Output.jpg") ;
ImageIO.write( image, "jpg", outFile);
/** Resource path is not set during the file creation
* as ImageIO throws IllegalArgumentException
It gets saved to the folder <i><drive>\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<InstNo>\j2ee\cluster\server0\output.jpg </i> by default.
Now, how to show up this dynamically generated image in a Image UI element? I have tried setting the output file name to the attribute that is bound to the "Source" property of the Image UI element but it doosn't show up as WD runtime is doing a look-up in the folder <i>../../../resources/com.test/<projectName>/Components/com.test.<componentName>/</i>
Any pointers in this regard are highly appreciated.
Bala

Hi
Try this
Create the alias for the folder (C:\usr\sap\P13\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0.)
1.Goto Visual Administrator->Http Provider->Aliases in the Runtime Tab.
2.Give the Alias Name and Path for the Folder.
3.The Image sorce like http://<Server>:<Port>/<Alias>/<image>.<ext>

Hi Vedant,
APEX only replaces the #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# variable within APEX itself. This is quite logical, because what you see in the APEX developer space is generated by PL/SQL from the database, so APEX can change what it wants. APEX can't access the files however, that's logical to because APEX would need premissions on the server and an Oracle directoryto start doing changes to files.
So if you want to point to the image directory in the CSS file you need to provide the full path.
Regards,
Joni

Image path in HTML output

Hi all,
I'm trying to deliver a BI report using the ftp device.
The report is delivered in HTML format correctly, but
when I try to open it, images that should display charts
are not visible.
Giving a look at the HTML code I've noticed that the image
source path is:
<img src="/xmlpserver/xdo/tmp/xdoimgZA4ql3v7Hz31567.gif">
which is not the correct path.
Is there a way to automatically set that path when the
report is delivered?
Thank you in advance,
Roberto

If you were to output the same report as PDF instead of HTML, I'm guessing the PDF file would contain the actual image. (Am I right anyone?) However, when you output as HTML, there is no way to embed an image in the HTML output.
HTML can only reference external images via URLs, so it appears from your output HTML code that BI Publisher creates a temporary GIF image and allows it to be referenced via that unique URL. Who knows how long that URL is valid?
After you FTP the output to another server, the <img src> reference is no longer valid, because the path in the src attribute is relative to the HTML file itself. The FTP'd report might show the image if you edit the HTML file so the src attribute includes the full URL to the image:
<img src="http://bi.publisher.host:port/xmlpserver/xdo/tmp/xdoimgZA4ql3v7Hz31567.gif"/>
But again, how long does BI Publisher cache the image, and how long until the login session times out so you can no longer access it anyway? Note that you would have to use the same browser session to view the FTP'd report as was used to run the report in the first place. In other words, run the BIP report initially using a browser on the host that is the FTP destination for the report. Then edit the <img> tag, and finally open the HTML file in the same browser.
A note to other readers: Images in RTF templates are often used as mere placeholders for charts created when the report is run. It is the "Alternate Text" assigned to the dummy image that tells the XSL-FO processor how to replace the image with a chart displaying the report output data.

Storing Uploaded Image Path into Mysql

Hi David
Thank you very much for your help. I had continued to work on the code and had worked out how to input the image path into the database but it was using the original filename, so when every it is changed it did not work. The code in my page at that point was the following,
<?php     // 2. NEW USER REGISTRATION<br />
        include_once ("includes/form_functions.inc.php");
        $max = 100000;
        $destination = 'uploads/';
        // START FORM PROCESSING FOR A NEW REGISTRATION
        if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // Form has been submitted.
        $errors = array();
        // perform validations on the form data
        $required_fields = array('org_name');
        $errors = array_merge($errors, check_required_fields($required_fields, $_POST));
        $required_numberfields = array('user_id');

        $fields_with_lengths = array('org_name' => 36, 'org_website' => 100, 'org_contact' => 40, 'org_conemail' => 80, 'org_contel' => 30);
        $errors = array_merge($errors, check_max_field_lengths($fields_with_lengths, $_POST));
        /*Here I am using trim as well as ucwords, this function converts the first letter of each work into a capital letter, I am using this only on the
        firstname and surname to ensure that the data is how I want it as it is going into the database, The better the data is preformated the better the data
        swill be within the database.*/
