How to resize image from container?

[atlzbest]

First off,

This product is amazing and has amazing potential!

What i'm trying to do is alter the cropImage function so it pulls the image from a container, image has already been uploaded, resize it and put it back in the container.

is SM able to retrieve data from containers? i havent seen any sample doing that?

thanks

Hi altz

When you upload an image to SuperContainer at full resolution you can request a reduced size for quicker display, and so you don't have to rely on FileMaker's Graphic engine to reduce the size of the image in a container field. (when using the plugin)

On the back end SuperContainer creates a thumbnail of that image at the requested size, and saves it on the server so subsequent calls to view that image is fast because the image you are viewing is cached.

can you elaborate what your attempting to accomplish?

Currently you can only pass strings in as parameters. The best way to get a container field contents is using the fmpro object to get a field by name

InputStream stream = fmpro.getContainerStream("mytable::mycontainer");

String filename = fmpro.getContainerFileName("mytable::mycontainer");
