Media_InsertImage

Media_InsertImage ( filepath ; byReference )

Inserts an image into a FileMaker container field. The image can be stored directly in the container field itself or stored by reference.

Parameter Description
filepath a full file path, or partial file path that picks up with the default path. If the source is a reference, then the destination can be a path to a folder; otherwise, it must be a path to a file.
The filepath parameter can be:

  • file path
  • text field with a file path
  • image URL
byReference “1” or “True” to store by reference; “0” or “False” to store in container field

Inserting Web Images

MediaManager can easily grab web images. All you need to do is use the image’s URL (Web address) as the file path parameter with Media_InsertImage.

For example, if you want to insert a web image named “banner.jpg” located in the http://www.MySite.com/images/ directory, you can use a script step:

Set Field [ MyTable::Container ;
Media_InsertImage ( "http://www.mysite.com/images/banner.jpg" ; 0 ) ]

A handy technique is to create a calculated container field that automatically inserts a web image at a URL entered into a separate text field. For example, you may have a text field named URL that allows you to enter the web address of an image. A calculated container field can automatically display the image with:

Media_InsertImage (URL Image; 0)

Examples

To insert an image into a container field named Picture 1 using a hardcoded filepath:

Set Field [ MyTable::Picture 1 ;
Media_InsertImage ( "MyDrive/Pictures/logo1.jpg" ; 0 ) ]

To store an image by reference a container field named Picture Ref using a hardcoded filepath:

Set Field [ MyTable::Picture Ref ;
Media_InsertImage ( "MyDrive/Pictures/logo1.jpg" ; True ) ]

To allow the user to select an image file to be inserted by reference:

Set Field [ MyTable::FileName ;
Media_SetDefaultFolder ( ".V:Select the image to insert" ) ]

Set Field [ MyTable::Picture Ref ;
Media_InsertImage ( "MyDrive/Pictures/logo1.jpg" ; True ) ]
