How to insert a dynamic image in a report

Hi,
I want to insert the image of a student in a report toghether with all other student's data. The image's file name is in a field of the students' table and the file is stored in a directory of the web application. I am using Visual studio 2010 and the reports are prepared with Crystal Reports 2008 (full product). At design time, when I try to insert an image on the report, it immediately asks for an image file on the computer, so I cant figure out how to insert an image whose path and file name come from a data source.
Thank you

Hi Don,
As I said, when I insert any field in the report, say for instance the Student ID, and then link it to a database field containing the name of the image file to display (I have to concatenate the path to this file name as well), it first shows the report with the Student ID. If I click on it, because of the hyperlink defined at design time, it opens the file (an image in this case) in Internet Explorer, not on the report.
The same happens if I put an image as an object on the report at design time. In this case as soon as I put the image object on the report it forces me to select an initial image to show on the report. Anyway, I define an hyperlink for this image, pointing it to the image file of the Student, using the database field containing the image file name. When I show the report I see the initial image I was forced to use and when I click it, the hyperlink takes me to the right student image, but even in this case it shows me the right image opening an Internet Explorer session and not on the report. On the report the initial image is still there and never changes.
What I actually need is a way to put the student's image on the report as soon as it shows the other student's data, as the name, age, ***, and so on, without having to click somewhere to show the student's image.
Thanks

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)

How to insert a conditional image into a report

Hi
I am fairly new to HTML DB, but I have managed to create my first application.
I need a little help with one report.
One of the columns in the report contains Y, N or R. The customer wants me to display a different coloured image depending on the value (ie a red button for N, green for Y or amber for R).
I have can add a static image to a report via "Column Formatting" -> "HTML Expression", but I have no idea how to make it conditional.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Rak

Great, that works!!!!
Thanks very much.
For completeness (incase anyone else reads this), there was one typo, in your solution, you omitted the opening '<' in the image source HTML tag
select loanno, itemid,
decode (returned, 'N', '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet_red.gif" border="0" alt="Loaned">',
'Y', '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet_green.gif" border="0" alt="In Library">',
'R', '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet_orange.gif" border="0" alt="Returned">'
) as status
from loans
Thanks for your help,...

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!

Insert a dynamic image

hi, i'm trying to convert a swing app to JSF
in my swing app, i have a label which displays dynamic images which are user dependent.
this is the code for it
lblRegImage.setIcon( new ImageIcon(image.getScaledInstance(lblRegImage.getWidth(),lblRegImage.getHeight(),Image.SCALE_DEFAULT)));where lblRegImage is a Label component
now for my equivalent JSF, i made an Image component instead of a Labale component to display my image. but the thing is the setIcon in the Image component only accepts a String. how do i convert the above code to JSF?
help please.
thanks

How to insert a flying image in a video

How to insert flying images in a video...someone it's speaking in the left side and in the right side some flying pictures are coming, staying for 2-3 seconds one by one....some ideas???
Like the weather forecast...you have someone in the left side speaking and she is showing some images in the right side.
Please let me know if you know how it can be done this in after effects or with another video editor...
Thanks!!!

It can be done in either. There are 3 steps.
Learn about greenscreen (keying) including lighting, filming, best formats for video (the way they do it in the weather segment) or masking and roto.
learn about image editing including sizing images, color correcting, applying effects
learn about controlling motion and editing duration of stills in a NLE or After Effects
When you have a few of these basics down and have designed your production you then load up the video and the stills, key out the background or mask around your talent to separate the talent from the background, add your photos to the time line and animate their duration and position.
This is extremely basic stuff that can be accomplished in a NLE or in AE. You can basically reproduce just about any effect you've ever seen in a movie in AE with the right planning and plug-ins. You can do just about anything you've ever seen in a news broadcast in any modern NLE.

How to insert and view images from oracle using jsf

Can anyone please give me some code example or link of article explaining that how can i insert and view images to/from oracle using jsf?
Thanks in advance.

You mean you want to view image data stored in the database, right?
Create a servlet that streams the image data to the response (setting the appropriate content-type), then reference this servlet in your img tag. Here is an example:
http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/04/imageservlet.html
Storage is something different. What exactly don't you understand there? Perhaps you want a file upload component?

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

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.

How to insert or upload image in RichTextEditor ?

Hello everyone,
I am new to flex and trying to design a full-fledged RichTextEditor in flex builder,Can anyone tell me how to add or upload image

How to insert a background image in VGroup in Flex Mobile

I want to insert a background image for this VGroup. Help me out. I'm new to Flex !!
I'm using this code in Flex Mobile Application
<s:VGroup height="100%" width="100%"
          paddingTop="10" paddingBottom="10" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10">
    <s:List id="homeList" height="100%"
            labelField="title"
            dataProvider="{homeNews}">
        <s:layout>
            <s:TileLayout requestedColumnCount="1"
                          verticalGap="5"/>
        </s:layout>
        <s:itemRenderer>
            <fx:Component>
                <s:ItemRenderer>
                    <s:VGroup>
                        <s:BitmapImage source="{data.source}"/>
                        <s:Label text="{data.title}" />
                    </s:VGroup>
                </s:ItemRenderer>
            </fx:Component>
        </s:itemRenderer>
    </s:List>
</s:VGroup>

I don't think you can add a background image to a VGroup directly, nor can VGroup be skinned.
As far as I am aware there are probably 2 solutions
1) use a SkinnableContainer instead skin the container to have a background image and set its layout to VerticalLayout
2) enclose the VGroup in a Group with a BasicLayout. you can then add a background image to the Group and overlay the VGroup

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)?

Using Dynamic Images in PDF Reports

There are a number of threads in the forum where we talked about dynamically including images in PDF reports before. In order to illustrate one technique you can use for doing this, I put together a sample application that illustrates how to dynamically include images that are stored in BLOB columns. I installed the application on apex.oracle.com and made it available for download and local install. You can find the link and login information for this application as well as the download link here:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-question-about-pdf-printing-feature.html

Based on a discussion we had today in another thread, I think it makes sense to add to this thread that the XSL-FO snipped used to get BI Publisher to render images is used when referencing images in a report column, e.g. you included them in your RTF layout using the BI Publisher Desktop Insert->Table option. In this case, the column is referenced with “value-of select”:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
<xsl:value-of select="LOGO"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
On the other hand, if you want to dynamically include a company logo, or other data that’s not necessarily repeating, e.g. there’s only one value, then you would use the BI Publisher Desktop Insert->Field option . And you would reference your field as follows:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
<?LOGO?>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
So in this case LOGO refers to either a single-value field, or a single-row report column value.

Marc
