Insert Images in a report

Hi, I have a question: I have an Oracle table with an image field, when I build a report Portlet in tabular or in form mode, it appears as a link and if I want to view it I have to click on,so the image is displayed in another window. Is there a way to view this image directly in the report?
thank you
Andrea

Inserting images in Crystal Reports

Hello,
I have two questions regarding the use of pictures in a Crystal report :
1. Is there a maximum dpi resolution limit for pictures to be inserted in a Crystal Reports.
2. Is there a way to control the PDF output picture quality ? When exporting to PDF, the quality of the picture is reduced.
Thank you
Anthony

I have the following questions about inserting images into Crystal Reports:
1. Can the images be positioned horizontally?
2. When there is more that one image attached to a database record, can the number of images be limited in the report?
(For example, limit the number of images for each record to two.)
3. If there is more than one page to a record, how can the image for the record be suppressed on all pages subsequent to the first page of the report?
4. If there is no image attached to the database record, how the space reserved for the image closed up?
Thank you.

Inserting images in reports

Hi,
I am trying to dynamically insert icons in my template. The icon paths are provided by the XML data definition via the <?Item_icon> field.
It doesnt work if I write a syntax like:
<fo:external-graphic src="url(Item_icon)" />
However, the syntax works if I do not use fields:
<fo:external-graphic src="url('D:\icon1.gif')" />
Is there a way to dynamically insert images in my report?
Thank you
Magda

The image works if I use $OA_MEDIA or a public URL. I cannot have signature files sitting in a public directory or a public URL.
How do you secure your signatures? The images have to sit on the server in a non-public directory but be accessible to the XML publisher process. What can I do to enable this access?

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 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,...

Inserting images stored as BLOB in table to Oracle Report(10G)

We have some oracle reports(rdf) built in Oracle 10g. Now we are planning to update these reports to include images stored as pdf's on file system. We have loaded these pdf's as blob into tables. Is there a way to include these image/s into the reports.
Thx.

Easy answer: No, this is not possible. You can't show a PDF inside your report.
Since you are talking about just images, why do you even store these images as PDF? Why not as JPG or PNG (if you need best image-quality)?
Using a normal image in a report would be no problem at all.
Complex answer: Yes, this could be possible with an enormous effort.
You could write yourself a Java-Bean which reads the BLOB, uses something like "iText" to convert the PDF to a normal image, and then display this image.
I want to recommend to not use this solution since it introduces a really big complexity into you report where the usual solution of just storing images as images and not PDFs would give you a better result (and way better performance).

Visual Studio 2005 - Display images in Crystal Report

I have been tyring to import an image from the HD into crystal reports. I have been failing miserably. I have researched the web and the forum and tired the approaches and still no luck.
I do not use a database and am using the crystal report that came with VS 2005 PRO. What version of CR do I have?
I have tried adding OLE object and still did not work.
Please advice!

Hi Jerry,
What is the type of image you are trying to insert in Crystal reports ?
Have you tried using Insert--Image? You have to select the location of the image and place it in your report.
Is the image is located in your HD or pulling from network drive ?
Please try the following :
--Open your image in MS Paint
--Save the image as .bmp in your local HD Drive
--Insert the image directly or insert as OLE object.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Sastry

Images in Crystal Report

I wonder if there is any way to display the images in exactly the same dimensions as it was originally saved that is if the image s saved it should display as small and if big it should display as a big image

One of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Schedulers listed at http://kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides a solution for your use scenario.
It allows you to automate the process of exporting a report to pdf and then inserting images based on directives provided by Crystal formulas.

Two thoughts.
The first is to ask Microsoft since it is their software.
The second is to throw Excel away and get a real report writer like Business Objects or Cognos or one of the many report creating projects Oracle provides.
Excel, by definition, is a violation of audit trail rules.

How to display an image in a report ?

I put the following code into the PLSQL - section <after header is shown>:
declare
v_str varchar2(2000);
v_rowid varchar2(200);
begin
select ROWID into v_rowid from mytable where id=1;
v_str:=htf.img(curl=>'http://rdspc23/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.file_download?p_block=DEFAULT&p_object=BILD&p_source='| |PORTAL30.wwv_htf.url_encode(v_rowid));
htp.p(v_str);
end;
(This code is extracted from a form and inserted in my report.)
If the image is in the browser-cache i can see the image and everything works properly. If the image is not in cache then there is only a broken link.
When i try the link in a separate browser window the folloing error message appears:
No data returned from stored procedure
The PL/SQL gateway invoked a stored procedure as part of processing the URL but the procedure returned no data.
What can i do to insert an image in a report.
Are there any documentation for the plsql-packages which portal is using ?

I tried it doing it this way and it worked -
1. copy the image into the directory aliased in 9iAS configuration file as '/images/'.
2. In the PL/SQL code section after header, I write the following code -
begin
htp.p('<img src="/images/pobexp.gif"/>');
end;

SCN document: 'Insert Image' greyed out at a certain stage/size

I noticed a similar issue likeTammy has reported in discussion/thread .Cannot insert or upload an image
After having inserted text and several images to a draft document, the 'Insert Image' icon became greyed out at a certain stage/size.
I did some tests following document Solution for Error: Cannot Insert Images on SCN Content, but the the behavior remained the same. Only after having deleted the last inserted image in the document > Save Draft > Edit again the 'Insert Image' icon was not greyed out anymore which is argueing for a size restriction.
The same html coding as in the document put into a blog does not grey out the ‘Insert Image’ icon. But I found out that after clicking on the ‘Insert Image’ icon > ‘From your Computer’ tab ‘Browse’ is greyed out. Strange and argueing against a size limit is, when I choose ‘Uploaded Images’ I can select images and still insert them into the blog.
Does someone have similar experiences / can assist.
Thank you, Barbara

We have a recent discussion in SCN support.
He has same problem. Have a look into the discussion Issue with 'Insert Image' button while creating document in SCN
I suggest to split you document into two part as part 1 and part 2.

Resizing an image in Interactive report

Hi All,
I have a report showing number of columns one of which is BLOB image. Problem is when massive, the row can take well over half the screen.
With firebug, I found that if I tweak add style attribute to IMG, (style="WIDTH:200PX;") then I can resize it.
However I am not loss where to insert this. There is nothing in the column attribute of the Image column in interactive report that allows me for this.
Would be grateful if someone can share a tip on how to resize image displaying on interactive report.
Thanks.

Inserting paragraphs into a report based on a certain condition

Hi, I need some advice on the best method to insert paragraphs of text into a report.
I have +/- 100 paragraphs which are in text format, I need to insert these into the report based on certain conditions.
I have tried entering them into the trailer section one after the other and using conditional formatting to display them if the the condition is met. This works well but I ran out of space in the trailer section.
I then thought of saving the paragraphs somewhere on the server as seperate txt files and inserting them into the report using file links,
or I could put these paragraphs into a table and then insert them from there, some of these paragraphs are longer than 4000 characters,
Please advise on the best method
Thank you
Michael

Hi,
If the button and the textfield are on in the same subform then this code should work in the click event of the button
(This is JavaScript code so make sure the code is set to JavaScript and Client on the drop downs in the script window)
(assuming the name of the textfield is TextField1)
TextField1.rawValue = "some value";
If they are in different subforms then you have 2 options
Please note in both these options it is easier if the subforms have names ( I am assuming this to keep samples simple)
option 1 -
use the parent object to move up the tree till you are at the same level as that of the subform that contains the textfield
e.g.
(Click Event of the button)
this.parent.subformname.TextField1.rawValue = "some value";
option 2 -
Use the resolve node to make your way down from the top level of the form
xfa.resolveNode ("form1.subformname.TextField1").rawValue = "some value";
Hope this helps
Malcolm
p.s. I am making assumptions as the image/file you attached did not appear for me.

Inserting images in OS independant way

Hi All,
I have a report which has few bmp files on boilerplates. The development(9iDS-902 R2) goes on in Win2K machines. While inserting images from local disks, the reports builder requires the path of the file to be present. The final deployment of the report is supposed to be done on a linux based installation (10g AS). Obviously the path is not going to help me.
I'm looking for ways by which I can attach the image without dependancy on the path (something similar to how we attach a library in forms). Please suggest.
The report is supposed to be launched from a form (using run_report_object) running on the same machine. The report server is running as external server.
Thanks and regards,
Kinjal Sonpal

I am having the same problem, the development is done in windows environment and deployed to unix server. The image path is pulled from the database, but how do I avoid getting a REP-0108 file not found when the procedure brings back the unix path. Is there a way for the package or reports to tell which OS is running and use the relevant path stle \folder\folder\ or c:\folder\
