Displaying image from related record

[halbj]

I want to display an image from a related record on my web page, I have the related field on the correct layout and yet I get a broken image icon in my browser?

I have tried a test image in the parent database and it works fine, what am i doing wrong?

this is my code,

[color:"blue"] <IMG SRC="[FMP-Image:Photos_NS1::Photo]" WIDTH="69" HEIGHT="52">

First off, what you are doing wrong is wasting valuable db memory with images which could be stored in a folder and accessed via a memory cheap text string in the db file.

Look in the Sample Files forum for an example of serving images with CDML. Then do yourself a favor and download it and study it. It may prove useful. There are other useful web examples there as well. And they are free.

Also, understand the implications of serving fields containing related data via the www. It has been widely discussed on these forums.

Good luck.

thanks for your message-

At the moment the images are stored in the database and it is not convenient for me to change this at the moment. - I will look into this though.

My question was, is it possible to display a related image from a container field? If so, can you tell me if there is anything wrong with my line of code?

"...is it possible to display a related image from a container field?"

"It* has been widely discussed on these forums."

*displaying related data

And if after searching for a thread or two on displaying related data and you cannot find one anywhere, as a developer you can experiment with related data using a simple text string instead of an image. You should get the same results for both.

You could also look at the Sample Files forum for the example I posted within the past month. There may be a clue in there about related data.

Like I said, "It has been widely discussed on these forums."

Have fun,
