Adding a remote image with the URL

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 12:28:47 GMT

Hi, i'm trying to add an image providing it's URL. The ideia is that I have an image of each, lets say vendor and when I select the vendor I want to see his/her profile picture, in the table "vendors" I have a column with the URL of the profile pictures.

The question is: how can I show their pictures? Do I use a Text Box? And if so what do I write there to show me the picture of the selected vendor?

thank you!

Use the url as the expression. Select "image" as the expression representation. You can use a text box or a expression in a straight table.

thank you, the problem I was having was not having internet connection on the server, so the URL didn't work

Hi Rob,

Do you know if you can embed a clickable url to an image expression representation object on a straight table?

Thanks.

I don't know of a way to make the image clickable. What I do is make a small URL column next the image column. The URL column can display something like "Open" or the unicode =chr(8598)

Hi Rob,

Can I check if the url returns an error?

Thanks

I don't know of any way to test what the URL returns.

Rob

in a Tex object, insert an image and in the Actions add Open URL

That will make the image clickable.

Note the question was specifically about a straight table.

Hello,

I created a textbox, typed an URL of an image and showed it as an Image.

Using QlikView Desktop I can see the image but when I publish the QVW and access it from Access Point image isn't shown anymore.

Do you know why it could be?

Thanks,

Ariel

Is the URL accessible to the server account? That is, does the server and the account running the services have internet access?

Hi Rob,

It is an Intranet URL and there is no service account because I'm using it with the Desktop, so it uses my personal network account. I have Intranet access and can see the image if I put the URL into a web browser.

Thanks for your help,

Ariel

Sorry, my answer was related to a another thread, related to Qlik Sense Desktop.

Regarding this one, I realised that the problem was the encoding: if the URL is http://intranet.domain.net/images/image1.jpg it is accessible. But if it has and encoded space (e.g.: http://intranet.domain.net/my%20images/image1.jpg) it is unreadable.

Do you know if it is a bug or something?

Thanks,

Ariel
