Dynamic Images

Hello, I am new to PP Connect, but 7 year user of PP Production.
I used to manage Dynamic Images using Image Upload option with the workflow and virtual drive.

How do I manage dynamic Images using PP connect.? You can just point me to a tutorial too.

Thanks, Dan

Basically you’ll import the images into the form and then access it via a script.

There’s a tutorial here: https://learn.objectiflune.com/en-us/planetpress-connect/howto/dynamic-image-with-data-from-record

If the images reside on the local disk, however, rather than in the form, you’ll need to give it the full windows path instead of the images/ path you see in the tutorial. Javascript needs that path to be formatted a little differently than you’d see in Windows, however. For example, this is how my path looks if I’m reading a file off of my desktop:

file:///C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/myImage.bmp

Note the forward slashes instead of backslashes and the file:/// suffix that tells Javascript we’re working with a file on the disk.
