simple Image problem

Need more info than that I am afraid.

when you right click on the box what do you see ? What are the properies of the image &
is the file really there ?

It sounds like you are using absolute paths (/images/blah.jpg) but the content is not being deployed
in the docroot.

Can you check your content structure?
If your images are under directory structure like

WORKAREA/work/content/images/
and on live server you dont have "content" directory, In that case your images/files will be failed to display. You need to remove the "content" from the link while processing in your tpl file.

This was just my quick thought and hope this may help you

You are right, I am using absolute path.

"I am saying / templatedata/CITS/contract/images/abc.jpg"

My directory structure is like this

I have templatedata/CITS/contract/images, where my images will be

I have docroot/docs which contains my doc file which use these images.

templatedata and docroot are peers.

And in Prod, I have CITS folder under which Contracts and docs are peers.
Contracts\CITS\Contract\images\abc.jpg

and

Contracts\CITS\docs\mydoc.doc

Sorry if i am confusing.
Thank you

When you bring up the page, do you bring up

http://server/docroot/doc/newly_generated_page.html

or

http://server/doc/newly_generated_page.html

If it is the latter, then the absolute paths will not work, since templatedata is outside of that

BTW, I would suggest moving the images directory out of the templatedata directory, to the WA docroot itself.

do you get an image from this (I assume no)

http://server/templatedata/CITS/contract/images/blah.jpg

I think you need to straighten your directory structure first. Images shud not be under templatedata.

Ideally these shud be under WORKAREA/work/Contracts/images not under templatedata
CITS shud be your branch name. This is the usual mapping works between TS and prod server or you need to change OpenDepoy conf file to deploy in appropriate dirctories and then process your tpl to stip the prefixes like docroot.

Moved my images folder under docroot, but it doesn't work that way either.

<table width="600">
<tr>
<td width="600" colspan="2">
<img src="docroot/images/line">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thank you

try removing the docroot

<img src="images/line">

As Andy mentioned above

1. Try removing docroot
2. "line" doesnt look like an image. I hope you have put something dummy.
3. Check on the live server, do you have the image there and if image is there wats the path of image on live server
4. path of image on TS

lilleywhite,

The basic use of images within TeamSite goes something like this:

1) Determine where you want your images to reside on your webservers. (Lets say you decide on

/inetpub/website/images where the webroot is

/inetpub/website).
2) Create a directory named images (the path to your images directory on your web server minus the webroot) in your workarea. (so the "images" directory should be at the same level as "templatedata", not below it).
3) In your DCT create a browse element that browses the images directory. (i.e. <browser extns=".gif,.jpg" size="50" required="t" initial-dir="/images" ceiling-dir="/images"/>)
4) In your TPL, read this item in and include the path that was selected in your image tag. (<img src="/images/subDirectory/image.jpg" />)
5) When this content is deployed, you need to deploy both the generated html file AND the image to the web server. Just deploying the generated file will not get the image to the web server. The image from #4 should be deployed to the webserver so that it resides in

/inetpub/website/images/subDirectory/image.jpg.

If you follow all of the above steps, your images should show up in both your preview file and when your content is deployed to the web server.

You are right, I have done exactly as you said, it works in terms of generating html's. But in terms of Doc files it is not working the same. My client doesn't want to choose the image inside the DCT, so i have it hard coded inside my tpl as you said <img src="/images/line.jpg"/>, it is not working interms of word document.
Thank you

I seriously doubt , on how my word document is getting the images. I played around some word documents which i have "Inserted" Images into and they are vieweable everywhere. But the way temasite is writting into a word document is though link process, which is blowing up the whole thing outside the box. Is there anyway to insert the picute into the word doc through my tpl?
Thank you in advance

So you are trying to insert an <a href=""> tag into a word document? If that is true not sure that was made clear....

Current Project: TS 6.1
Environment: Windows

Not a <a href ......../> Rather <img scr="/images/abc.jpg"/>. IT doesn't seem to work for me.
Thank you

I know I asked, but do not remember an answer, can you see the image in a browser ?

http://servername/images/abc,jpg

Also, when you see it in TS, are you one the TS server or on a client ?

jbonifaci

Here's a good question you need to answer. Lets say you create your word doc with an img tag that references '/images/abc.jpg'. If you create a simple html page with an img tag that references '/images/abc.jpg' as well and deploy it to your webserver, does the image show up for that html page or not? If not, then the image does not exist in the location you are referring to it.

Edit: Or do what Andy suggested and just try to reference the image directly on the webserver.

I am sorry, Yes i can see my images both on the TS server and as a Client. I see all my images in the browser sir.
Thank you

Yes i have already tried this procedure, With html files there is not problem at all, I reference the same image in the html file generate the html file, I can see the images on the TS server and as a client too. Even if i deploy the html page to prod server, i can see the images . It only with the word document i don't see the images. Here is a Sample word generating tpl i am attaching, any one can try this with their own images it will not work for you.
Thank you

jbonifaci

Can you attach the word document you are generating?

<table width="600">
<tr>
<td width="600" colspan="2">
<img src="Y:/default/main/NECWEB/WORKAREA/CPP/images/line"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">
<span class="style1">
NEC USA, Inc.<BR>
Corporate IT Services<BR>
Irving, Texas
</span>
</td>
<td align="right">
<span class="style1">
<img src="Y:/default/main/NECWEB/WORKAREA/CPP/images/NECLogo.jpg"/>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="600" colspan="2">
<img src="Y:/default/main/NECWEB/WORKAREA/CPP/images/line"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Since this is a word document and rendered on the client machine you need a URL to the image on a server.

Current Project: TS 6.1
Environment: Windows

here it is, i am on the TS server while attaching this
Thank you

I think Brandon has hit the target :-)
In your tpl if you enter http://servername/images/line.jpg instead of /image/line.jpg and see if it works

Nope, That didn't quite work for me.
Thank you
