Hi. I am trying to use the following code:

<xmod:DetailImage alternatetext="View Property" imageurl="/Portals/0/propertyimages/thm_[[Photo01]]">
<parameter name="PropertyID" value='[[PropertyID]]' />
</xmod:DetailImage>

to try to use the thumbnail of each record as the DetailImage link.

It gives me:
Template Compilation Error
The server tag is not well formed.
etc...

I'm guessing that the imageurl cannot contain the brackets [[Photo01]].

Any way of working around this?

Thanks!

Eric

Hi Eric,

Use the [[Join()]] function token. Because of the way ASP.NET works, it's not possible to simply combine a field token with text in an attribute. The JOIN token makes that possible. You can find the details on how to use it in the help file under Function Tokens.

So, your tag would be re-written as such:



Best,
Kelly

Thanks Kelly! That's exactly what I needed. I can see how the [[Join()]] function could be quite useful in other ways!

Hi Kelly
I am having issues with this scenario. I have created a list page. Click and item and get directed to a details page. I have passed the id field to the details page and the details page URL is http://localhost/ttc544/BandPage.aspx?vendorid=15

All data displays well but I can't get the required photo to display?

'LogoFile' does produce the image name as expected but when used in context of the Url in my code example following, nothing gets displayed?

<xmod:DetailImage AlternateText="Individual Photo" ImageUrl='[[Join( "~/Portals/0/vendorImages/{0}", [[LogoFile]])]]'>
<Parameter name="VendorId" Value='[[VendorId]]' />
</xmod:DetailImage>

I have tried all variations on the path eg. ~/Portals/0/vendorImages/{0}, Portals/0/vendorImages/{0}, vendorImages/{0} and I have also removed the parameter (wasn't sure if this parameter is required in my situation?).

Any idea's why the image won't show?

Hi Paul,

Have you verified the image is actually in the /Portals/0/vendorimages folder?

Kelly

Yes, Image is definately there.
When I use <span class="SubHead"></span> [[LogoFile]] I get the correct file name for the image displayed eg "filename.jpg".
When I use
<xmod:DetailImage AlternateText="Individual Photo" ImageUrl='[[Join( "~/Portals/0/vendorImages/{0}", [[LogoFile]])]]'>
<Parameter name="VendorId" Value='[[VendorId]]' />
</xmod:DetailImage>
Nothing is displayed?

I used fatgeorge for the initial fileupload within my xmod form.

I tried a few other options in the fileupload process and store things in a different folder. The join still doesn't work.
I used a more straight forward method to get the picture;
<xmod:select >
<case comparetype="text" operator="<>" value='[[LogoFile]]' expression="">
<img src="http://www.dnndev.com/Portals/0/DynamicForms_Images/Thumb_[[LogoFile]]" align="left" style="margin-right: 10px;"/>
</case>

This at least found the correct file name but it only displays the red X ?

I got this working. I didn't require the Join function ?? just a straight image src...
