relative path of an image file

[nikesh mohanlal]

Hi All,

Version:Oracle Reports 10g

Anyone knows how to include the relative path of an image file(say example I have a client's logo).
Please let me know .

Regards,
Nikesh.

Re: relative path of an image file

These should be on your reports server, under $ORACLE_REPORTS_HOME/reports/templates.

Hi,
I meant how to write it in code,so that it takes the path at runtime when the report runs.

Nikesh,

The following article on about.com does a nice job of explaining the difference between absolute and relative path urls.

Re: relative path of an image file

Hi All,

I'm having a small issue: Whenever I run a report, the report_logo.gif (the standard OTM logo) it displays correctly, however when I run the same report in HTML mode the report_logo image does not show. I'm not sure why this behaviour. Any suggestion?

Thanks!!

Hi Nikesh,

I just went through one of such case where the dynamic generation of an image in OTM BI report was required the answer to your question in rtf code is:
1) If Developer tab is not enabled in MS Word enable it by File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon -> Under Main tabs enable Devloper checkbox, you should now be able to see the Developer tab.
2) Developer tab -> Controls section -> Legacy Tools -> cliick on Image Active X
3) Right click on image -> Format Control -> Alt Text -> in Alternative Text free text give the command as "url:{<urllink>}" urllink would be the one present in you datatemplate.
