Portal-Image Bug

[ahhwhereami]

Hi!

I'm building a solution for use with IWP, and I've noticed what I think is a bug. I was wondering if anyone has seen this and could provide any insight:

I have three tables; A, B, and C. They are related in that order (From A to B, and B to C, in a continuous link: A-B-C)

Table C contains a container field with graphics in it.

A layout based on table A contains a portal to B, which contains a field linked to a graphic in C.

The effect of this is that each row in the portal is a record from B, and also shows an image in C related to that row.

This works properly in FM7, but when published to the web, the images are broken (404'd). If anyone is aware of why this might be, and if there is a workaround (piping by calculations does not work), I'd appreciate a heads up.

Thanks.

whereareyou -

Couple of things.

First, and though this is slightly off-topic, I'm not sure why you've put your container field in the the 3rd table. Showing a container from T3 in a T2 portal is only going to give you the container from the first T3 related record. So either the container item you wish to show has to be in the first T3 related record (or all of them), or you really want to put that container field in the T2 record. Putting different items into the three T3 records will always show info from the first T3 related record in a T2 portal.

As to your question, I think what's probably happening is that you've set up your container contents by reference rather than embedding the image (or whatever) directly. Chances are that the browser (or the FM middleware generating the HTML) does not have permission to get to the image file. If you embed it directly (by pasting without reference), it shows up even in IWP.

I have attached a file that reflects what you said, I hope.

Good luck.
