Shared Folder Images in RTF Template?

Hi, how to use images which are in shared folders like *\\\\path\\Trademarks\\test.jpg* into RTF templates? url:{} works only for http links and doesn't work for shared path. I need to have dynamic images, we have a logic in query that would give us the path like *\\\\usnbkb110p\\Trademarks\\testforuljp.jpg*. Not sure how to proceed further. Kindly advice.

Any ideas on this? Any recommendation would be appreciated.

Hi Ravi,
You can add images into your rtf template using MS Word Insert Picture feature.
Did you try this method?

Relative path for images in RTF templates

Hi everybody!
When I insert an image in a RTF template, I put its path into the web dialog, in order to see correctly the picture when I open the report from the xmlp server, in this way: url:{"http://servername/analytics/res/Images/image.bmp"}
How can I make this path relative, in order to see the images even if the server name changes?
Thanks so!

Hi Tim,
I am using BIP 10.1.3.3.2. I am able to access system variable CURRENT_SERVER URL.
Steps:
<?param@begin:CURRENT_SERVER_URL?>
<xsl:value-of select="$ CURRENT_SERVER_URL"/>
CURRENT_SERVER_URL is getting printed in BI Publisher. Value displayed is http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/xmlpserver.
Now we are importing xsl into RTF template. File aaa.xsl is stored at [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app]
We have hardcoded the path for XSL in RTF. The path is <?import: http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/aaa.xsl?>
As we want to set dynamic path we changed hardcoded xsl path to <?import: {$CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/../aaa.xsl?> but it is not working. Sometimes BIP is taking local path of MyDocuments folder and sometimes Desktop path. If I put that XSL file in MyDocuments folder or Desktop, it is working fine. But ideally it should refer [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app] path...
Thanks,

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?>
for image location or dynamic images check these links

Display of image in rtf template

Hi,
I have a tag in my xml file like
<ImageDistributeur>IMAGE:D:\EXPLOIT_UNPMF\Edition\Image\L29004G.tif</ImageDistributeur>
and the image is stored in the particular location specified inside the tag.
The xml file doesnt contain the image...
My question is how can i use the tag and get the image in the template.
I dont want to embed the image directly into the template as it is a dynamic logo...
so i have to use the xml tag.
but if use the above <ImageDistributeur> tag... its obvious that the text inside the tag only will be printed...
Is there any other way to get the image from the path specified ..if so please guide me in this issue.

Images Behind Text in RTF Template

While creating a few rtf templates, I noticed that if an image is to be shown behind text then the image will not render to back to .rtf by bi pub.
If I put the image inline with text, it renders just fine.
Am I missing a step that would allow me to render the image behind text or is it just working as intended?

Rendering a dynamic image(blob) in a BI Publisher Report via an RTF templat

Been working on this for a while and now at a dead end hoping the experts can direct me to try something new. There is lots in the forums on blobs and displaying in reports and from it all I have gleaned that I need to encode the blob in Base64 and then use this code.
<fo:instream-foreign-object content type="image/jpg">
<xsl:value-of select="IMAGE_ELEMENT"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
I use this function to encode a 9KB jpeg into a clob (and my jpegs will be less then 32K.
function encode_base64(p_blob_in in blob) return clob is
v_clob clob;
v_result clob;
v_offset integer;
v_chunk_size binary_integer := (48 / 4) * 3;
v_buffer_varchar varchar2(48);
v_buffer_raw raw(48);
begin
if p_blob_in is null then
return null;
end if;
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_clob, true);
v_offset := 1;
for i in 1 .. ceil(dbms_lob.getlength(p_blob_in) / v_chunk_size) loop
dbms_lob.read(p_blob_in, v_chunk_size, v_offset, v_buffer_raw);
v_buffer_raw := utl_encode.base64_encode(v_buffer_raw);
v_buffer_varchar := utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(v_buffer_raw);
dbms_lob.writeappend(v_clob, length(v_buffer_varchar), v_buffer_varchar);
v_offset := v_offset + v_chunk_size;
end loop;
v_result := v_clob;
dbms_lob.freetemporary(v_clob);
return v_result;
end encode_base64;
The xml is simple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<IMAGE_NAME>Test</IMAGE_NAME>
<IMAGE_MIME_TYPE> image/jpeg </IMAGE_MIME_TYPE>
<IMAGE_ELEMENT>…lots lines of encoded data… </ IMAGE_ELEMENT >
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
Then when I put all together using BI Publisher Desktop 11.1.1.6 in an rtf template and preview the pdf, the preview fails with a long message ( can provide the whole thing if requested) but starting with:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
     at oracle.xdo.common.image.ImageReader.checkFormat(ImageReader.java:130)
     at oracle.xdo.common.image.ImageReader.analyze
I suspect the base64 encoding may be the problem but I am out of my realm in trying to debug this. Any help would be most appreciated…sorry for the length of this.

I thank you again for continuing to try to help me. However, I regret to say that this function does not work. The same error results (see below). It is hard to believe that this cannot be done with APEX and BI Publisher. I would think that other APEX users have the need to display images and do not have the E-Business Suite.
What I am doing is very straightforward....a small jpeg stored as a blob in an Oracle table that needs to be dynamically displayed from a report in APEX----created with BI Publisher and an rtf template.
If you have any other ideas, please send them..your help is appreciated.

Image substitution in a RTF template

Hi,
I'm trying to substitute an image on a RTF template.
I have placed a dummy image on the template, and on the web tab of Format Picture i've hardcoded the actual image directory path.
the entry is like
"url:{/u01/app/applricew/ricewappl/xx/11.5.0/reports/US/signature.jpg}"
Now, when I'm trying to preview the pdf output from XML Publisher, its displaying the dummy image on the output.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem.

sorry to bother you ..
it was simply my mistake .. I kept the double quotes which should not be there ..

How to set restriction on shared folder to copy or move images and videos

Hi,
I am using windows server 2008 for file sharing, it's simple folder sharing and there is no additional roles added and not promoted as file server.
Users have permissions to access folder and they can put data on shared folder but I want to restrict user that they can not copy any images and video on it.
Need urgent help to stop copying images and videos on shared folder.

If you need to restrict only certain types of files, then file screening is what you need. Windows Server 2012 R2 comes with a powershell module for FSRM, so you can script configuration of file screening.
The code will look like the following (this is only an example):
New-FsrmFileGroup -Name "Images and Videos" –IncludePattern @("*.jpg", "*.mpg", "*.avi", "*.tif", "*.mp4", "*.mov")
$Notification = New-FsrmAction -Type Email -MailTo "[Admin Email];[File Owner]" -Subject “Warning: attempted to create a video or image file” -Body “You attempted to create a video or image file on a share that does not allow storage of this type of files.” -RunLimitInterval 120
New-FsrmFileScreen -Path "C:\Shares\FileShare1" –IncludeGroup "Images and Videos" -Notification $Notification -Active

How to create a hyperlink in RTF template to navigate within the report

Hi,
I have an RTF template for one of my report and in that i want to provide hyperlink "Top" which will take the user to the beginning of the report. The output of the report is in HTML format which gets displayed on the browser.
Since the report has some many tables and is very lengthy i wanted to provide an hyperlink which will navigate to the top at the end of each table.
I formatted my report title as "Heading1" and created an hyperlink at the bottom of the table in the template and pointed it to the above heading. But still i am not able to navigate to the top from the HTML report that gets generated.
I have the template and the sample xml file at the following shared location:
\\Rakumara-pc\TO_XMLPUB_GURU folder.
Please take a look and help point out what am i doing wrong.
-thanks

Hey Ramesh
Thats cheating ... the forum is meant for customers not O developers ;o)
Can you send your template link (I cannot get into your PC) to the xmlp ML and we'll help there.

Pictures which were found in shared folder are not shown as thumbnails

Hi,
I'm indexing SharePoint sites and File Shared folder with Pictures.
In the search results page the pictures from SharePoint are shown as thumbnails (there is a preview of the picture) but the pictures from fileshare are not shown that way (it is shown as a preview of a video but empty, without preview image).
What should i set?
I added a refiner of "Content Type" and it seems that the content type is "image/jpeg".
keren tsur

Hi,
First create a custom display template which will read the image using the Path property as a thumbnail. Make it smaller etc using CSS. Next up create a custom Result Type which triggers on:
ContentType Equals any of... image/jpeg
ContentSource Equals and of... <name of file share content source>
and pick your custom display template in the dropdown on the Result Type page.
Depending on policy settings the browser will or will not read the image from the file share and display it inline.
