Dynamics AX Axapta XPO: Setting image property to relative path instead of absolute path? - dynamics-ax-2009

I'm brand new to AX development so forgive me if this is elementary.
I have a case where I'm adding a command button to a form's command bar in AX 2012 and I have a PNG file that I'm using as the button's icon.
I am getting this to display perfectly by using the "Text & Image Left" ButtonDisplay attribute and the "NormalImage" attribute for the path of the image on the box in which AX is deployed.
However, if my 3rd party installer installs the image file to the bin directory of AX I'd like to reference that image file's path in the XPO relatively. How do I go about doing this?
How do I go about doing this?
For instance here is the sample of my XPO entry for this button:
CONTROL COMMANDBUTTON
PROPERTIES
Name #myButton
ElementPosition #596523234
HierarchyParent #WorkerCustom
Text #Sample Text
ButtonDisplay #Text & Image left
NormalImage #C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client\Bin
ENDPROPERTIES

This is a very strange question...but if the file is in the bin directory, you just do this:
CONTROL COMMANDBUTTON
PROPERTIES
Name #CommandButton
ButtonDisplay #Text & Image left
NormalImage #.\Roses.jpg
ENDPROPERTIES
So ".\Your Image.jpg" is what you need. You can add it as a resource in the AOT if you would like too.

BIRT Report Designer - Change Text of Missing Dynamic Images

I built a BIRT report with dynamic images in it. However, when a dynamic image is missing, the following text is displayed in place of the image: "The resource of this report item is not reachable." Is there a way to change that text to something else? I would prefer it say something like "Image not found". Thank you!
No.
But, if your image is on the file system, you might check if the file exists (using Javascript) and hide the image item if it doesn't exist.
I discovered how to change the text by using the Visibility attribute in the Properties tab of the Image. I checked Hide Element and added the expression row["Image"] == null. I then created a new label with the text "No Image" and checked Hide Element and added the expression row["Image"] != null. This successfully changed the default text for a missing dynamic image file. It should be noted that I had to add padding to the bottom of the "No Image" text in order for the other data elements to show up in the correct place.

How can I display an image in a ms access 2013 report using relative paths stored in a field of a database

I have a simple database with table tblUsers containing the following fields:
id-number
name-short text
surname-short text
picture-short text
In the picture field I store the relative path to the linked image file for every record (using a form and a file dialog box for selecting picture).
I'm currently trying to make a report with 9 id cards on a page layout in which for every record, using an image control, to show the picture for the record by recreating the full path to the file and assingning it to the control's Picture property.
So, as an example:
I have 9 records with the values of the field Picture equal to: john_doe1.jpeg to john_doe9, stored as text.
When I load the report, I want to be able to see the 9 id cards with their respective photo atached.
I tried using the on current event for the report with this code
Private Sub Report_current()
Me.txtPathImg = Me.GetDBPath & [tblUsers.picture]
Me.imgControl.Picture = Me.txtPathImg
End Sub
but all I got is one picture for all the records in the report.
How can I display the correct picture for every record in report view?
Use a bound image control, i.e. set it's control source, e.g.
=GetDBPath() & "\" & [picture]
Then you don't need any code.
GetDBPath() must be a public function for this.
Or build the full path in a query, use that query as recordsource, then you can directly bind the image control to the full path.
hellow S.Overflow
tbl1students:
ID_FullName - dataType : text
Image_Path - dataType : text such as (D:\Imagefolder\FullName.jpg) you know that? ok
............
now create report wizard from tlblstudents table and then open report ac design
ok :
Add Imageframe from toolsbox
then make controlsource :Image_path
..............
you don't need to VBA cods to do that

Drupal Commerce Product image is not shown in View Mode Node:Product List

I'm starting with Commerce Kickstart 2 together with demo store.
I added a product and upload one image, this product has one of the demo store variation types (Bags & Cases) and the product display type associated.
It seems simple since I didn't change nothing. But when I click in main menu the products already there are listed fine, with product image, only my new product don't show the image.
I see in variation types Bags & Cases that the Images field, Column Format, is defined as image delta, Image style: product_medium. And that is the point. In MySite/sites/default/files/styles directory are the styles of images. In that directory there is the product_medium directory where the images showed when in View Mode Node:Product list (the list of bags listed when click in To carry).
Well, the fact is when I create the product there is no option to load an image that will saved in MySite/sites/default/files/styles/product_medium directory. And that's the problem. Since when I manually copy the image to that directory, the image is showed up.
Where I define this product_medium image?
You don't have to manually copy the images. 'product_medium' is an image style, which is already created when you automatically installed the demo store. So, once you upload an image, the image will be saved in the product_medium folder.
Are you sure that you have given correct permissions to the sites/default/files directory, which being the full permission?

Relative Path for SSRS Image File Parameter

I am trying to send an image file path as a parameter in ssrs
When I send parameter as
File:C:\Reports\Images\Banner.jpg
it works, the image shows up
But when I try to use a relative path like
File:..\Images\Banner.jpg
The image does not show up and I get this error
rsInvalidImageReference
When my rdl gets deployed, the image folder will be in the same directory as the rdl.
Can someone help me pelase?
If the Image folder is just a subfolder on the Report Server, you can pass a string parameter like the following to the report:
.\Images\Banner.jpg
This assumes you have an image in the report similar to:
i.e. the Value property expression is based on a parameter.

How to add descriptions under uploaded images

I have created an image field in a content-type called "Products", but there is no description box option as it is shown in a file field. Is there any ways to add product descriptions under every product photos?
I know this isn't the optimal solution, but you could use field_collection to achive this.
Install the module and then add a new field of type field_collection to your content-type, then under admin/structure/field-collections you can add both an image and a textarea field. Now you should have the ability to add an image and a corresponding description to your node.
Try the Image Field Caption module for Drupal 7.
It adds an extra text area to image fields. It is similar to the alt/title text fields already available with an image field, except it is a text area that accepts long string or html content.
Download the module
Enable the module
Add a content type with an image field, or use an existing content type with an image field
Add or edit a node with an image field
Enter text or html into the image field caption text area
Save the node and view it to see the caption displayed below the image field
To override the way the caption is displayed, take a copy of the image_field_caption.tpl.php file and place it in your theme's directory, for example:
sites/all/themes/MY_THEME/image_field_caption.tpl.php
Now modify the html to meet your needs.
This has been identified as an issue - the integration of imagefield into core from D6 to D7 saw the unfortunate loss of the option for a description field in addition to alt and title.
