Dynamic Image Display in Data Assist

Dynamic Image Display in Data Assist

I just wanted to check if I am missing some thing.

To have a dynamic image display, I went to Insert > Image > Data sources and selected the image field required
This inserted the code
<img src="<?php echo $row_WADAboats['image1_thumb']; ?>" alt="Thumb Display Image" />
This did not work until I placed the folder where the images are stored
eg
<img src="imagefolder/<?php echo $row_WADAboats['image1_thumb']; ?>" alt="Thumb Display Image" />
I wondered if I missed a step in the insert process or whether it is necessary to place in the extra path each time.
Thanks
John

Hi John

If you are only storing the image filename in the database, then yes you will need to manually add the path to the IMG tag, otherwise the web page will not know where to load the image from.

If you were storing the image path in the database along with the filename, then you wouldn't need to do this.

Many thanks Ian for clarifying that point for me.

You're welcome :-)
