How to create Personalized urls

Question

Answer 1

Hey Ben,
Yes it is possible to create dynamic URL's.
1. Simply select the link from the table like so.
SELECT PK_ID,
       NAME,
       LINK
  FROM IMAGE_INFO2. Edit the region and go to report attributes.
3. Click the pencil to edit the link column.
4. Scroll down to the column link section and enter something like 'View' as the link text. You can change that to whatever you like.
5. Change the target form page in application to url.
6 In the URL text object enter *#LINK#*. This will substitute #LINK# for the value that is returned by the sql statement in the LINK column.
Seeing how you are linking to an image you could just do something like this:
SELECT PK_ID,
       NAME,
       '<img class="mug_shot" src="' || LINK ||'" title="'|| NAME ||'" alt="'||NAME ||'" />' IMAGE,
  FROM IMAGE_INFOThis will generate an image tag and show the image inline with the record. Since this species a class you could use CSS in your header section to format the image to a standard size. Something like:
<style type="text/css">
.mug_shot{
   width:200px;
   height:200px;
</style>Good Luck,
Tyson
