posting images in a form - image

I am using free marker in a netsuite environment. I have a custom items field that displays an image and I need this image to appear on a quote document we send to our customers when they ask about a machine. All of our machines are one-offs so I need the system to pull in that information each time, rather than post one image and use html to insert into the template. I have been able to do this with custom text fields but have not been able to make it work with an image... I am still searching the help files but any assistance will be appreciated. Just point me in the right direct...;-)

The
${record.custitemfec_custfield_image?length}
probably needs to be:
${record.custitemfec_custfield_image}
Also it looks like you are trying to print a record for an item. Is that correct? If you are trying to print a transaction you probably want:
<img src="${record.item[0].item.custitemfec_custfield_image}" style="float: left; margin: 7px" />
or
<#list record.item as line>
...
<img src="${line.item.custitemfec_custfield_image}" style="float: left; margin: 7px" />
...
</#list

CKEDITOR force VSPACE and HSPACE on images

I'm working on an email editor using the last ckeditor version.
To provide compatibility with outlook, I need to force HSPACE and VSPACE on images.
I found some workarounds that have been working on previous ckeditor version.
Now CKEDITOR output is:
<p><img alt="" src="/userfiles/images/river.jpg" style="float:left; height:900px; margin:10px; width:1600px" /></p>
I need something like:
<p><img alt="" src="/userfiles/images/river.jpg" align="left" vspace="10" hspace="10" /></p>
Any idea how to achieve that on the last ckeditor version?
Thank you in advance
My method would be simpler than modifying ckeditor. I would attempt to do something like the following. Disclaimer, the regex here probably doesn't work as written. Regex is not my strength and it takes a lot of research and time for me to get it right. And depending on the various possibilities for your output, you might have to loop through multiple images if each has different needs. But as an idea.... I am replacing the whole style statement with the vspace and hspace settings. Note, editor is the name of your instance of the editor
window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {
data = CKEDITOR.instances.editor.getData();
data = data.replace(/<style=(.*)>/g, 'align="left" vspace="10" hspace="10"');
CKEDITOR.instances.editor.setData(data);
};

Outlook Ignores Width attribute or css property

I've seen this problem touched on in many questions but none have been specific enough to help me. So I hope it offends no one if I simplify it and ask again. Hope springs eternal!
Is it really IMPOSSIBLE to control the width of an image embeded in an email when Outlook renders it? I.e. control the width of an image for which the html code is
<img src="cid:seal">
I.e. when the html code expects an embedded image instead of one stored elsewhere.
[Note: "seal" is the content ID I assigned when creating the MimeBodyPart with the embedded image].
Details:
I use a Javamail application to send a multi-part email message. The body part is an html document. Another MimeBodyPart carries the image used in the html doc. I've simplified the html test to nothing more than a two column table with the left column for the image and the right column for text.
And absolutely NOTHING I have tried has been able to control the size of the image when opened in OUTLOOK.
The image is always what I assume must be some native size for the image ... which is too big ... so it forces the first cell to be more than 15% wide. Or if I give the cell a fixed width the image overflows the box, i.e. get's clipped.
I put the basic code stripped of all font styling colors etc. below.
I have tried every combination of using width attributes and css style properties on the img tag. I've wrapped the image in another table ... or wrapped it in a div block inside the main table cell ... and even wrapped it in a div block inside a table cell inside the parent table cell. And I've tried specifying widths in fixed pixels and %'s.
It would really be nice if we all knew for sure if this is simply IMPOSSIBLE with Outlook.
Or if it is possible possible, to publish sample code that works. [It's hugely attractive to have the email open its images immediately, and not rely on the reader downloading them.]
NOTE: I seem able to control width when I load the image from an outside source afterwards, i.e.
Thanks for any help.

With help from Eugene above, I discovered at least one good solution.
<img src="cid:seal" width="300" or "300px" of "15%"> DOES NOT WORK.
But when I ditched the quotes this worked
<img src="cid:seal" width=300 height=300>
It does of course mean setting width in % is still a problem since it requires quotes.
But I'll take what I can get. Email now pops open with logo without the user needing to download pictures. AND ... this css body selector also works rendering the background with an embedded image. [I stored the background image with a Content ID of"bkg".]
AGAIN ... unlike the img attribute src="cid:id" that uses quotes, url() requires the id w/o quotes.
<body style="background-image:url(cid:bkg);
background-repeat:repeat;
width:100%;
generic-family:Sans-serif;
font-family:Verdana;
border:0;margin:1em 0 1em 0;padding:0;">
Outlook uses Word as an email editor. The following series of articles provides reference documentation related to supported and unsupported HTML elements, attributes, and cascading style sheets properties:
Word 2007 HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook 2007 (Part 1 of 2)
Word 2007 HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook 2007 (Part 2 of 2)
You can design the page in Word and then save the resulted document as a web page. Thus, you will find the required HTML markup to use.

Can you control pinterest's "find image" results?

Rather than add Pin It buttons through our site, I would like to simply control what images show up in Pinterest's "Find Image" results if a user decides to pin one of our URLs.
As of now, "Find Images" allows the user to scroll through the images it finds on the page so they can select which image to pin. The "found" images start with the first jpg in the html file, I'm assuming (could that be a bad assumption??). On our site, this forces a user to scroll through about 15 navigation and promotion images before arriving at the featured product image. Is there any way to specify this image to show first in those results? Maybe through a meta tag, or by adding a class or id to the element?
Without a public Pinterest API, this seems like just guesswork, but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this, or solved this. Thanks.
A lot of search results including the Pinterest Help Center talk about using nopin in HTML elements, which is invalid HTML. What they don't document is a data attribute to the same (well formed) effect.
<img src="foobar" data-pin-nopin="true" />
Adding the nopin attribute will exclude the image from appearing on Pinterest:
<img src="..." nopin>
I solved this by simply loading the image before all others in the page. In this case, I gave it width="0" and height="0" (you could also give it style="position: absolute; left: -9999px; top: 0;" just to be sure).
This won't break the page layout, but will force Pinterest to find this image first. The only downside is that the browser will load the page a few milliseconds slower, but if you're reusing this image later in the page anyway, you should make up for lost time then.
Pinterest will find any images from <img> tags (it will ignore CSS background images) that are at least 80px x 80px.
The order the images show up on in the Pinterest list is determined by the order they are specified in the HTML.
As you have discovered, you can alter the CSS of an image to "hide it" without actually hiding it by either moving it off the page with absolute positioning or 0 height and width. Any images that are set to display: none will not be picked up by Pinterest.
You can instruct the share preview to only grab specific images from the page by using the “image_include” configuration option. First, set image_include to your desired class name (id selectors are not allowed, only class selectors), then add that same class name to each of the images on the page that should be grabbed. For image_include, don’t add the ‘.’ selector. Here’s an example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = {
image_include: "at_include"
}
</script>
Once image_include has been defined with a class, add that class to the desired images on the page. In this example, the only images on the page that will be grabbed, will be the images with the at_include class (img1.jpg and img3.jpg).
<img src="http://www.example.com/img1.jpg" class="at_include" />
<img src="http://www.example.com/img2.jpg" />
<img src="http://www.example.com/img3.jpg" class="at_include" />
I was reading this blog which suggests the following:
Use the global no pin flag to prevent pinning on the whole site
Manually add the Pin It widget to those images you want to make pin-able.
Given Pinterest's webmaster tools appear to only have a blacklist, rather than a whitelist option (that you are seeking), this could be a possible solution. Another stated benefit of this is you can also supply suggested pin text through the Pin It widget.
Only downside to this I guess is that it may break the user's own Pin tools. Pinterest does allow you to supply a custom "denied" message, so I guess you can say "please use our site's pin buttons directly".
I've tried this, and it works. It seems like a decent approach, at least until Pinterest sees fit to add some better tools, such as an image whitelist option. The main drawback is needing to add Pin-it buttons on every image you want to enable for your users & your users may be annoyed that they can't pin anything.
Unfortunately, there is no way to mark several images on your page as preferred, but you can mark one image to stay at the top of your images when someone pin it. Specify this meta-tag in <head>:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://YOUR-DOMAIN.com/IMAGE.jpg"/>
I have not found official confirmation for this feature, but it works great with addthis sharing plugin.
Add this script before the actual call to pinterest. And set images that you do not want to show with a class called 'nopin'
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config =
{
image_exclude:'nopin'
}
</script>
<div id="toolbox" class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tumblr"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_pinterest"></a>
</div>
</div>
If anyone is using AddThis, please check this thread: http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/questions/1570789
AddThis has some, uh, unique functionality that affects the image picker presented. As in, when there is only one image on the page, it ignores the defined og:image.
If you set that lone image to be excluded, then the image picker won't show any images for selection.

Image in jQuery Mobile Header

I am trying to add an image in the header of my jQuery Mobile based web page.
I want the image to be aligned to the right edge and using CSS for this purpose. But the results are not satisfactory.
(Problem*)There is a big gap between the image and the edge and it is also not aligned with the header text.
Here is the header code:
<header data-role='header'><h1>My App<img src="my_logo.png" alt="Low resolution logo"class="align-right"/></h1></header>
and here is the CSS code for class align-right:
.align-right{
float:right;
margin-right: 5px;
}
No need to add custom styling or such. Jquery-Mobile already has built-in solutions for this. Just add the class 'ui-btn-left' or 'ui-btn-right' to your image (as if it were a button) and you're all set.
<header data-role="header">
<h1>My App</h1>
<img src="my_logo.png" class="ui-btn-right" />
</header>
I know the question has been asked way before, but I figured this might help those who are still looking for solutions. Besides, the question wasn't set as answered.
Based on your code example, you need a space between the alt attribute and the class attribute.
You have:
alt="Low resolution logo"class="align-right"
Should be:
alt="Low resolution logo" class="align-right"
Also, it is probably better to not have the <img /> tag inside of your <h1> element.
Check out the docs for more information on custom headers: http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/toolbars/docs-headers.html
Something like this should work:
<head>
<style>
body{ margin: 0; }
.align-right{ float:right; margin-right: 0px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div data-role='header'><h1>My App<img src="my_logo.png" alt="Low resolution logo"class="align-right"/></h1></div>
</body>
In my case, I was using a link as a button in my Header, and I wanted the same results where the image would show in the top right corner. I also wanted additional attributes added to the image such as no text, no corners, no disc, etc. Using ui-btn-right alone broke those other attributes. The fix was to include both ui-btn and ui-btn-right to the class, as shown below:

Show a custom image for some images if image not found - Lighttpd

I have a site that creates images for some bit of content after the content is created. I'm trying to figure out what to do in between the time the content is created and the image is created. My thought is that I might be able to set a custom image to display on a 404 error on the original image. However, I'm not sure how to do this with lighttpd. Any ideas or alternatives?
EDIT: The issue is the user isn't the one creating the content, it's being created by a process. Basically we are adding items to a catalog and we want to create a standardized catalog image from an image supplied by the product provider. However, I don't want a slow server on the provider end to slow down the addition of new products. So a separate process goes through and creates the image later, where available. I guess I could have the system create a default image when we create the product and then overwrite it later when we create the image from the provider supplied image.
Another alternative on the client side is to do:
<img src="/images/generated_image_xyz.png"
onerror="this.src='/images/default_image.png'; this.title='Loading...';" />
Use the <object> tag in HTML with a fallback to the default image.
<P> <!-- First, try the Python applet -->
<OBJECT title="The Earth as seen from space"
classid="http://www.observer.mars/TheEarth.py">
<!-- Else, try the MPEG video -->
<OBJECT data="TheEarth.mpeg" type="application/mpeg">
<!-- Else, try the GIF image -->
<OBJECT data="TheEarth.gif" type="image/gif">
<!-- Else render the text -->
The <STRONG>Earth</STRONG> as seen from space.
</OBJECT>
</OBJECT>
</OBJECT>
</P>
(Example from w3.org)
As I understand your problem: You want to show an intermediate image until the real image has been generated?
You could display a loading image and use AJAX to change that DOM node into the real image when it's been created. You could write it from scratch or use any of the well known and stable AJAX libraries out there, if you have no preference of your own take a look at jQuery.
Further to #kentlarsson - if you want to do it via Javascript, I recently found this code:
http://jquery.com/plugins/project/Preload and the demo at http://demos.flesler.com/jquery/preload/placeholder/ which does as he suggests - with its 'notFound' option.
I don't know enough about lighttpd to tell you about setting up a custom image with one or more subdirectories in a site though.
I think you could probably solve this on the client side alone.
Based on Jaspers' answer, you could do:
<OBJECT data="/images/generated_image_xyz.png" type="image/png">
Loading..<blink>.</blink>
</OBJECT>
Also layering backgrounds using CSS you could do:
<style type="text/css">
.content_image { width:100px; height: 100px;
background: transparent url('/images/default_image.png') no-repeat }
.content_image div { width:100px; height: 100px; }
</style>
<div class="content_image">
<div style="background:
transparent url('/images/generated_image_xyz.png') no-repeat" />
</div>
The latter solution assumes you don't have any transparency in your generated image.
