1. Add one image to the template. See "Adding images" on page702.
2.
Right-click the image and click Dynamic Image. Or select the image and click Source
(not the field, but the label before the field) in the Attributes pane.
The Dynamic Image Script Wizard opens. The image's ID is used as the script's selector.
If the image did not have an ID, it is automatically generated.
3. Select the location of the files:
l
Select Resources if the images reside in the Images folder on the Resources
pane.
l
Folder on disk refers to a folder on a hard drive that is accessible from your
computer. Click the Browse button to select a folder.
As an alternative it is possible to enter the path manually. You can give a local path
(e.g. C:\Images\) or use the "file" protocol. The complete syntax of a fully qualified
URL with the "file" protocol is:file://<host>/<path>. Note: if the host
is"localhost", it can be omitted, resulting infile:///<path>, for example:
file:///c:/resources/images/.
l
Online requires you to give a specific web address (for example,
http://www.mysite.com/images/).
4. The Dynamic Image Script Wizard composes the file names (including the path) based on
the selected location, the prefix, the value of a data field, and the suffix. The variable
part of the file names is the value of the data field(s) in the Field column. The prefix and
suffix are meant to contain static parts of the file names.
Click the first field in the column Field, and then click the downward pointing arrow.
Select the data field to be evaluated.
If you want the file name to be composed of the value of several data fields, simply click in
the next row or click the Add button. This adds a row. Note that the rows will be
concatenated to compose one file name. Only the last suffix should contain the file
extension.
5.
The resulting file name, including the path and file extension, is assigned to the src
(source) attribute of the image. You can click Options to verify this.
6.
Click Apply or OK. Now click the Preview tab and browse through the records to verify
that the script works as expected.
