Serving Images to the web via container.

Featured Replies

I finally upgraded to FMP7 advanced. My help tells me that now it's OK to use container fields to serve images on the web. Is that the best solution. My typical page contains at least 12 images (90x90 medium .jpgs each) and a few others. All in all the website includes over 3000 images (a growing product database). I want to do it right the first time.

My old site running on FMP4 called the images with cdml/html and avoided containers all together. I've read about placing a reference into a container field, is that that a better solution?

Oh yea, what's a reasonable hourly rate for PHP help.

Much thanks to anyone who has an opinion about this.

I would still avoid Container fields. I believe you will have greater flexibility by just holding a filename in the database (or at least the reference).

All the best.
