Display image from external resource into interactive form

[Former Member]

Hi experts!

How can I display an image from a external url, for example "http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif" ??

I tried to do that:

1. Insert a "Image field"

2. Bind None

3. Embed image data: unselected

4. URL: $record.url

In "url" it's a context's variable. It's type is string. I save in url: http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif

4. Show: initialize

Script: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;

Language: JavaScript

Run at: Client

I can't save image into mimes' folder. It's a bussiness rule in my company.

Thanks

When I proved that:

$.value.image.href = $record.URL

Can't display a image yet. BUT!!! Now appers a popup windows empty!!! Do you know why?

I think that we are more closer the solution

Thanks!

Dynamic URLs for images were removed by SAP or Adobe in the previous version because it was considered 'insecure'.

Well, I'll change the repository for my images in the portal

cna you try changing your formcalc script to

$.value.image.href = $record.URL

I proved with another image.

I can see if I write the path directly in the URL. But I need to display dynamically. I tried with the same path but dynamically and the image didn't display ( I follow the same steps in the first thread)

Any suggestions or ideas?

Yes, I tried that way too, but i can't see the image.

Do you have more ideas for my problem ?

Thanks for your quick answer

[Former Member]

have you tried directly linking it to the image this way? instead of passing through the context to make sure you can access the image?

I just inserted an image on my form.

Bind none

Embed unchecked
