Use of qmem, info and bundle to use custom icons

Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:39:31 GMT

Hi All,

I'm trying to use custom arrows and icons

I'm trying to embed the files into the qvw using the following script

Images:

BUNDLE LOAD * INLINE [

Img, Image

sad, smile_sad_48.png

grin, smile_grin_48.png

];

then into an expression to call the icon like that

=if($(var1)>$(var2), 'qmem://Img/smile_sad_48.png','qmem://Img/smile_grin_48.png')

It does not work

I changed the reference png to bundled ones an it works:

=if($(var1)>$(var2), 'qmem://Img/smile_sad_48.png','qmem://<bundled>/BuiltIn/led_g.png')

The reference to the bundle image should be

qmem://field/value

not the file name..

So in your case,

qmem://Img/sad

qmem://Img/grin

I am attempting the same thing as discussed above.

In my script I have :

BUNDLE LOAD * INLINE [
MOSAIC_Group, Path
B, Q:\Qlikview Apps\CRUISE\QVD_Data\MOSAIC_B.jpg
E, Q:\Qlikview Apps\CRUISE\QVD_Data\MOSAIC_E.jpg
];

When I LOAD in debug mode, there are no errors (although it doesn't show any images being loaded).

When I use the Images tab on Chart Edit Expression, I see the following 2 listed under Image Folder dropdown:

<bundled>/BuiltIn

MOSAIC_Group/

But ... my 2 images are not available under the Image dropdown.

Advice please?

Thanks, Richard

It sounds like no images are being loaded.

Create a listbox for field "MOSAIC_Group". Does it have the values B & C?

If you select one of the values, does the info icon "i" appear in the caption? If not, then the jpg files were not found in the load or did not load for some other reason.

Hi Rob

Thanks for your prompt and helpful response as usual

I have found that if my BUNDLE LOAD does not use an existing field name (from other tables) then the load is fine, but results in an 'orphan' table. Then following your suggestion of a listbox, the "i" does appear in the caption.

My intention was to link images to the existing field called MOSAIC_Group. For example, I could then creat a table chart showing MOSAIC_Group and its related image.

Have I misunderstood the purpose ?

Regards

Richard

PS. How do I mark your previous response as 'helpful' ?

What you are doing -- two tables -- should work. It sounds like you are running up against some other problem. AutoConcatenation perhaps?

Can you post the relevant script?

I think only the original poster can mark answers correct or helpful.

Thanks.

I will take another look, and perhaps post the script later.

Shame I can't acknowledge your help, but thanks anyway.

Richard

I had a similar problem with my icons that didn't showed up.

It only worked when I put the BUNDLE LOAD * INLINE sentence at the last/bottom/final tab of the script.

You, my friend, are a wonderful human being. This has been driving me mad for about 2 hours before I stumbled on this post.

I can confirm that putting the bundle load at the very end of the script works, where it won't if it's in the middle of the script.

QlikTech, could you put this handy little nugget of info in the user guide?, or maybe just make it work in the middle of the script?

The same thing happened to me. It was working, but then it stopped working until I put the load statement at the end of the script, then everything fine again. I checked all the column names, no duplicates. If anyone can shed any light on this I would still like to understand why this may be happening, please.

Hi Rob, am struggling with the application of bundle, could you take a look please -

Back end Script (Note: Attachment.Body is the BLOB image field, Attachment.ParentId is the key field, data extracted directly from Salesforce using Salesforce connector):-

ImageTable:
Bundle Info
load
Attachment.ParentId,
Attachment.Body;

SELECT
Attachment.ParentId,
Attachment.Body
FROM Attachment;

DateTable:
LOAD
Attachment.ParentId,
Attachment.LastModifiedDate
FROM
[Date.qvd] (qvd);

UI (Text Box):

1. How should the expression be written? What will replace the question Mark in below try?

'qmem://ParentId/?'

Requirement: A picture should show up in the text box when the corresponding Parent ID is selected from a UI filter (always one selected)

2. Info function doesn't work either. Example: info(Parent ID). Why is that?

Thanks,

Sid
