PHPRunner General questions

I have a field to show pictures from a job report, The field in the visual editor is set to edit as Textbox, as the image is stored in a folder called attachements and in the database, it is a url to the image.

I can set it to view as image, but it shows the full image in the list, and not as a thumbnail, which is quite large, I can set it as a hyperlink and this will open the iamge as a new page, which is OK, but it would be better as a thumbnail with the option to open with ibox.

ANy ideas on how I can get around thhis please?

Thanks

Paul.

Paul,
there was a bug in the PHPRunner.

Please downlaod and install latest build 5242:

http://xlinesoft.com/download/
Then open your project, set up this field as Imageon the "View as" settings dialog and rebuild it.

Thanks Jane, But I am using version 5242.
WHat happens is, Engineer goes to site, does a job and takes a photo. The PDA software then sends the photo back to our server and puts it into a folder called attachments. The PDA save the path to the photo as a URL, so it will be http://OurServerIPAddress/sigs/Attachments/4393cac4-021e-4f3c-b990-bfb973a6e2a4.bmp'>http://OurServerIPAddress/sigs/Attachments/4393cac4-021e-4f3c-b990-bfb973a6e2a4.bmp, where 4393cac4-021e-4f3c-b990-bfb973a6e2a4.bmp is the name of the Photo.
In the database, the field for the photo is set to edit as textbox and has the path as http://OurServerIPAddress/sigs/Attachments/4393cac4-021e-4f3c-b990-bfb973a6e2a4.bmp'>http://OurServerIPAddress/sigs/Attachments/4393cac4-021e-4f3c-b990-bfb973a6e2a4.bmp but it is set to view as image and it then displays the photo, but, If I select it to show thumbnails and use IBox, it wount open
ANy ideas as to why please? Is it because its a bmp file?

Thanks

Paul.

I guess this problem is related to BMP format. Images are need to be in web-ready formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG.

OK Thanks.

I can get it to work by selecting Use Thubnails and not selecting use IBox, it then opens a new internet window to show the full picture.

Thanks
