Inserting image in e-mail using ColdFusion

Hi everybody,
I am a new user of ColdFusion 7.02 and I have to send an
e-mail to a group of people with images included using an intranet.
There is no problem to use cfmailparam to insert the image as an
attached file, but I want to insert it in the body of the e-mail,
but what I get is an X, the image does not show which is normal
because the image comes from a directory on my company's server and
cannot find it. I would like the image (gif of jpg) to show. Is
there a ColdFusion tag that could help me out? Thanks in
advance...

This has an example of exactly what you are trying to do.
Good luck!

You can place a PDF as an image in InDesign, then add more content and export a new PDF.

Inserting image in a table using php +zend

Hy!
The table is
(products(picture_p blob,prod_id number)) when i try to insert the pictureusing a similar code with this from oracle .com:
// Insert the BLOB from PHP's tempory upload area
$lob = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB);
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, 'INSERT INTO BTAB (BLOBID, BLOBDATA) '
.'VALUES(:MYBLOBID, EMPTY_BLOB()) RETURNING BLOBDATA INTO :BLOBDATA');
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':MYBLOBID', $myblobid);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':BLOBDATA', $lob, -1, OCI_B_BLOB);
oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
// The function $lob->savefile(...) reads from the uploaded file.
// If the data was already in a PHP variable $myv, the
// $lob->save($myv) function could be used instead.
if ($lob->savefile($_FILES['lob_upload']['tmp_name'])) {
oci_commit($conn);
else {
echo "Couldn't upload Blob\n";
$lob->free();
oci_free_statement($stmt);
// Now query the uploaded BLOB and display it
$query = 'SELECT BLOBDATA FROM BTAB WHERE BLOBID = :MYBLOBID';
$stmt = oci_parse ($conn, $query);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':MYBLOBID', $myblobid);
oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
$arr = oci_fetch_assoc($stmt);
$result = $arr['BLOBDATA']->load();
// If any text (or whitespace!) is printed before this header is sent,
// the text won't be displayed and the image won't display properly.
// Comment out this line to see the text and debug such a problem.
header("Content-type: image/JPEG");
echo $result;
oci_free_statement($stmt);
oci_close($conn); // log off
?>

It looks like your webserver doesn't have read permissions on the directory and files within it. In Linux, set it to 755, in Windows, I'm not sure what needs doing sorry.

Using local/testing server with cs5 inserting images look fine in the split screen but do not show

Hi
If I open example: header.php and insert any photo jpeg/.html ecs i can see the images in the split screen but not in the browser if i save then refresh. I am able to make any change to the code ecs. and they are reflected just fine. I have tried this with my fireworks images .html and when that did not work i tried a strait jpeg off the desktop. This all did not work. I have deleted the local server then step by step created a new one via devnet instruction. This did not work! everything looks fine i even tried in 3 sep browsers with 0 luck....There is no remote server connected at this time because i am making a child theme for my current site. After all changes are done we will the ftp the word press files to site and change.
Ps i even started over from scratch with 0 positive affects....

After a lot of pain!!!!!!! the issue is fixed lol After 3 weeks I have overlooked the obvious !!! so the simple fix was the path of the image. Yes i feel stupid 10 years in lol....
Apparently dreamweaver cs 5 will not use the full path when inserting images into the page example: If you drag the image out of your assets folder or however you do it, DW will give you a path like this <img src="images/glass.jpg" width="800" height="729"> This is not the full path and when your pist!!! you cant see things like that ;( so the image path should look like this:
<img src="wp-content/themes/adszoom/images/glass.jpg" width="800" height="729">
also in the html files example of bad then good!

Ok thanks and if there are any issues with dw please ask: [email protected]

DW CS5 -wrong path shown in code after using'Insert/Image'.

Normal site management as follows:
Site Name is set up, eg. - abcd.
Local Folder is set as root - c:/abcd
Logo image is in c:/abcd/images
Using ‘Insert/ Image’ Dreamweaver enters the correct image in the correct div, but the source code reads:
<div id="logo"><img src="../../../../abcd/images/logo.jpg" width="248" height="78" alt="abcd" /></div>
instead of: <div id="logo"><img src="/images/logo.jpg" alt="abcd" /></div>
So the path for the image seems to be defaulting incorrectly and I can see the url in the ‘select image source’ window is automatically showing a longer path: ../../../../abcd/images/
Ideas tried so far:
Replaced the url manually to the local path (works fine), but it defaults again next time to the longer path.
Tried recreating the site cache and FAQ corrupt cache fix.
Removed the site and set it all up again.
Manually change the path in the code and DW no longer finds the image.
I’m a newbie who has only created a handful of sites so any ideas are very much appreciated – thanks, Shelly J

Hi Murray,
Thanks very much for the reply - as a first time forum user it is great to see there are friendly people out there.
Site name abcd and Local Site Folder showed C:\abcd\ as per normal (not using root relative) and in advanced settings links are relative to document, not site root, but you gave me a great lead and the problem seems to be resolved now, thanks. With my workflow I manually transfer the completed files to another drive (rather than the DW remote function) where a developer then adds value and ftp's them up and it seems that there was some glitch between the server and my PC. I had already tried resetting my PC earlier, but he has reset his end now and my DW is no longer confused. So thanks again. (perhaps simply hardware but I suspect the 'include' that was added to my last site's code - who knows ha ha..) Cheers, Shelly.

How to embed image in html when using JTextPane, HTMLEditorKit, JavaMail

I am developing a specialized e-mail client that has to be able to send e-mail messages (in html format with images and attachments) that can be read by standard e-mail clients, and receive similar messages from standard e-mail clients.
I have everything working except for embedding images.
Images are to appear in the document mixed in with the text, but that's not what I mean by "embed". By "embed" I mean that the image itself is encoded within the html.
Here's a bit of code to set the context.
JTextPane bodyPane = new JTextPane();
bodyPane.setEditorKit(htmlEditorKit);
bodyPane.setTransferHandler(new DropHandler());
bodyPane.setDocument(new HTMLDocument());
In the DropHandler I have the following:
HTMLDocument htmlDoc = (HTMLDocument) bodyPane.getDocument();
HTMLEditorKit htmlKit = (HTMLEditorKit) bodyPane.getEditorKit();
int caretPos = bodyPane.getCaretPosition();
At this point get "filename", the full path to an image file that has been dropped onto bodyPane.
String htmlString = "<img src=\"file:///" + filename.replace("\\","/") + "\">";
htmlKit.insertHTML(htmlDoc, caretPos, htmlString, 0, 0, HTML.Tag.IMG);
This works just fine. The image is displayed in the document at the point of insertion.
However, the image itself is an external file. I need to send an e-mail with this image and could send the image file as an attachment, but I obviously can't assume that the recipient of the email is going to save the attachment into the proper location.
What is the best way to do this?
There is a technique for embedding the actual image in the html, using this syntax:
String htmlString = "<a href=\"data:image/png;base64,---mimed png image here--\" alt=\"Red dot\"></a>";
I can't get this to work in JTextPane, so perhaps it's not supported. Also, there may be limitations on the size of an image. And apparently Internet Explorer doesn't support this.
From what I read, using a "content identifier", that is, "cid:" and adding the image as another part of the e-mail message is probably the thing to do. I haven't taken the time to explore this yet.
Does JTextPane support cid? Is that a nonsense question? I suspect what I need to do when the message is being composed is use absolute paths to local files with the images, and then when assembling the e-mail, attach the files and rewrite the html to build in the cid linkage. Similarly, when reading a message with cid's, the thing to do is save the body parts as files and rewrite the cid to point to the actual file.
I have seen others ask similar questions, one as recently as last December, and the reply was to refer to a Sun tutorial. But that tutorial doesn't address the full problem of 1) inserting an image into a document (instead of attaching an image to a component) and 2) sending it as an e-mail message.
I have yet to see an example that shows the complete package.
Am I right that the data option I mentioned is not going to work?
Am I right that cid is the best approach, and do I understand how to use it?
Is there something else?
Thanks
John

Hi Rocky,
Are you using the DC?
if yes then you need to put the image inside the component folder. after that close the application
& reopen. You will get the image.
In case this does not work then try refreshing the portal through server side. Once the cache is cleared, it will be up to view.
Also check the Activity list you have created. It should be added to the dtr properly or else it wont be reflected once reimported the configurations.

Insert Image Javascript Error

I've had this problem since I switched from MX2004 to version

I have a second computer with CS3 installed and since re-installing
windows have not experienced this problem on that computer. I have
followed the instructions in:

Why does 'insert image' not work?

If I use Insert Image, the image appears on the email, but is not sent to the recipient. Why?
Whats the point of it if it appears to work but doesn't?

<blockquote>The fact that WYSIWYG does not work sometimes is no reason to regard it as not sensible to try and achieve. </blockquote>
Never is more the point. It never works on the internet, every browser and mail client renders fonts and forms and images differently. That is why most web sites use the browser string to choose which version of the site to offer up.
Change printers in a word processor and see WYSIWG change. Field questions from users who have suddenly manager to get their document on a 30 degree slant because their document formatting resembles a typewriter.
<blockquote>If what you see on the screen is completely different from what you send, how are you supposed to make quality judgements? </blockquote>
People writing computer programs and HTML have been doing it ever since there have been computers. Imagination and knowledge of the rendering capabilities to the expected client give some level of confidence. and KISS applies. The less complex the less likely it is to go spectacularly wrong
<blockquote>Having a link to a persons computer from another computer is an invitation to hackers. </blockquote>
That is what every address on the internet is, a link from one computer to another. Usually, your computer to someone elses. It is also why windows supports UNC names for files.
<blockquote>Why would you do that?</blockquote
Perhaps so content can be created once and use repeatedly without having to copy the data and perhaps corrupt it in the process. It also allows for content to be changed after the fact, so you can do a countdown due in X days
<blockquote>
Also,it still doesn't work. I tried sending myself an email, </blockquote>
Did you get the email, many providers just don't deliver mail to yourself anymore.
<blockquote>
and it should have referenced the file on my computer, but it didn't.
</blockquote>
What did the HTML img tag actually contain?
<blockquote>
The concept of sending half a document, and referencing the rest of the document from a computer somewhere on the Internet (which might be off), absolutely stupid from many points of view.</blockquote>
Depends, remote images in email are a perfect example of it. Many of today's emails would not be sent due to their size if the images were not remote, and how to marketers get to know who you are unless there are remote images so they can track you.
In a corporate environment there are places where you would be sacked for actually attaching documents to an email. A link to them on the server maintains the companies control of their intellectual property. Placing it in an email obviates all of that.
So get used to the fact that email is not WYSIWYG. It does not even use the same fonts you do, unless by happen-chance the recipient also has the same ones.
What does the message source say about the IMG tag for the image.
<preformat>
><img alt="" src="file:///C:/Users/Matt/Desktop/CSV%20how%20to/more%20images/blinkers.png" height="315" width="392">
</preformat>
It will look something like this for a local link with moz-do-not-send="true" set if I specify not to include the image with the message.
<blockquote>If Thunderbird has some inherent problem with incorporating image files into a document, then it should not allow it as an option. </blockquote>
I am afraid is simply do not understand that statement at all. You are the only person I have ever encountered that could not include an image in their email.
<blockquote>One thing that most Windows software now allows is transferring files between formats, </blockquote>
How come I can not get mail out of outlook in a usable format? Are BMP, JPEG and PNG images interchangeable?
I previously asked <blockquote>So what format is this image? (What file type) How large is it? What anti virus program do you use?</blockquote>

Image inside e-mail ??

Hi,
This is the code i found in e-mail, which is used to display an image inside the mail.
<IMG src="cid:024b01c1d494$76fe2520$[email protected]">
How can i create this image in memory and insert this image in HTML page.
Thank you !

OK.. I think I understand the issue. Let me just restate in my words to make sure:
You want to be able to render the contents of an HTML formatted MIME message where the message contains an "embedded" image.
Assuming this is your objective, I have a solution.
If you are using a web browser to render the email, the one and only way a browser can render an image is with a valid URL path. As you correctly point out, the src of the image is not a valid url path. Thus, the only solution is to change the HTML.
This approach can be confirmed if you simply send an email with an embedded image to Hotmail or Gmail. Using Outlook, you can "insert" an image which results in the embedded image situation in your example. If this is sent to a Gmail account (for example) and you view the source of the message at Gmail you will notice that the src attribute has been changed by Gmail.
So... You need to parse the html and replace the src attribute of any image where the src is currently referencing another "part" of the message.
Now... The actual image is most likely NOT in memory. This is deliberate because it may be a 10GB image which would kill your server. So, what do you replace the src attribute with?
In the solution I implemented, I created a servlet (actually a struts action) which was supplied with the content ID (cid) if the image to be rendered. This servlet then looks into the same MIME message, finds the associated part, gets the part's input stream and pipes it straight out to the HTTP response.
For example:
Where you had <img src="cid:1234..."/> I replace with <img src="render.do?cid=12345..."/>
The render.do is my struts action (servlet).
This is the only way I know how to render embedded images in emails via a browser. If anyone else has any bright ideas?

Insert Image in RTF Template Conditionally

Can an image be inserted into an RTF Template using an If-Then statement? Like this:
<?if:FIELD1='IMAGE1' 'insert IMAGE1' else 'insert IMAGE2'?>
If this is possible what syntax needs to be where the example says 'insert IMAGE1'? The images are jpg files that exist on a local PC but the template will run on a Unix machine.
Is there a way to do this? Thank you very much.
James

you can try like this
<?template:image?>
<?if:FIELD1='IMAGE1'?>
IMAGE1
<?end if?>
<?if:FIELD1!='IMAGE1'?>
IMAGE2
<?end if?>
<?end template?>
use this tag where u need image <?call:image?>

When inserting image how do I force inline CSS not image tags?

When I insert an image to my page layout it always uses html width= and height= tags
e.g. <img src="images/wordpress.jpg" width="125" height="112">
This is driving me nuts
(I thought these tags were pretty old fashioned for current doctypes. Why does dreamweaver continue to use them?)
I want inserted images to be shown with inline CSS
e.g. <img src="images/wordpress.jpg" style="width:125px; height:112px;">
I can then more easily add more CSS like padding, floats etc as needed.
Any ideas how I set this up as a default or quickly convert?
(I dont really want to add lots of unique image classes to a style sheet)
many thanks!
Dreamweaver CS6

Image height & width values are not deprecated. Unless you're building a responsive web site, it is usually better to have these attributes stated in the HTML.
But when I don't want them, I do the following:
Insert > Image > browse to file...
On the properties panel, I delete the width and height values, hit Enter.
