Hi,

In 8105, the following sample code does populate the images in the column rows. But in 8201m the images does not appear.

-SET &BLACK_IMG='

<img src="./run.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&|BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Common/images&|BIP_item=B_DOT.png">

';

DEFINE FILE CAR
COL1/A255 = IF SEATS EQ 2 THEN '&BLACK_IMG' ELSE '';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
SEATS
COL1
BY CAR
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES ON
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLEMBEDIMG ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
ENDSTYLE
END

Thanks in Advance

Are you sure that the image path is still exactly the same ?

And : COL should be COL1

Is there an error or you just don't see the image?

Yes. The image is still in the same path. I corrected the column name to COL1

I get the black box with cross mark inside it.

Does the folder / image is published ?

Yes

Does the Content folder (with the images) is at least "Permitted" to "Run" as per group security of the user ?

I have test on my side and if the Content folder is not Permitted to Run for the security group for which the user is from, the image is not displayed.

Permission to run is already set, and i am an administrator.

I just tried the same thing and got the black box with the x in the middle. Have you opened a case with tech support?

If you figure out how to fix this please post the solution.

Just tried this in 8.2.01M and it functions correctly.

Check the properties for the various Content components to ensure that you have correct spelling / case etc. Easily changed when migrating / CopyPasting.

Also the "';" shown on a separate line in your example is incorrect syntax, so that needs checking as well.

Instead of using pictures, for simple shape I prefer to use an html entity and just insert it's hex value (Credit to @CoolGuy for teaching me this). That way you can color them, size them, and not worry about referencing an image file that might get deleted or changed. If you change out your SET to the following, it will work.

-SET &BLACK_IMG='<span class="BlackDot" style="color:000000;font-size:100%;">&|#x26AB;</span>';  

Here is a good reference on using HTML charsets:

I checked the file names and syntax. All looks good. Still could not generate the image.

I had to change the entity id to a different circle because that one apparently wouldn't change color.

So, try this code with the new entity and additional conditional formatting:

-SET &GREEN_CIR='<span class="GreenDot" style="color: green; font-size:100%;">&|#11044;</span>';
-SET &YELLOW_CIR='<span class="YellowDot" style="color: yellow; font-size:100%;">&|#11044;</span>';
-SET &RED_CIR='<span class="RedDot" style="color: red; font-size:100%;">&|#11044;</span>';

DEFINE FILE CAR
COL1/A255 = IF SEATS EQ 2 THEN '&RED_CIR' ELSE IF SEATS EQ 4 THEN '&YELLOW_CIR' ELSE IF SEATS EQ 5 THEN '&GREEN_CIR' ELSE  '';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
SEATS
COL1 AS ''
BY CAR
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES ON
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLEMBEDIMG ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
ENDSTYLE
END
  

Here's another cool site I just found where you can search for shapes:
http://graphemica.com/search?q=circle.

You can change the color using one of the 140 HTML color names:
https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp

Or you can choose any custom color by using the appropriate color code:
