I have an image url defined in my javascript code as:
var url = "http://127.0.0.1:8081/share/proxy/alfresco/api/node/content/'+urlStr.substring(4);
I have to pass this as src attribute to an image:

var content = "";content += "<img src=\"url\">";‍‍‍‍

But this doesn't work.
I also tried inserting image using document.createElement("img"); and var img = new Image(); but javascript is not able to recognize the createElement() method or the Image() object.
Can anyone suggest how an image can be added to the HTML doc using Javascript in Alfresco?

What do you mean when you say "doesn't work"? What error do you get? What's in urlStr? Are you executing this inside or outside of Alfresco?

Hi Bob, if I copy paste the variable url in the browser, it gives me the right image document so the path is correct. I have even linked it using the javascript str.link() method. It doesn't work means I am not able to see the image when I insert it using html img src tag. I am writing this code in javascript, which executes as a rule when the documents in one of my folders are modified.

Thanks!

What exactly you are looking to do with image? Sending in mail OR something else?

The below code is used to render image from javascript.

var imageUrl = Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI+"api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/"+{UUID of image content}+"/"+{Name of the image};
<img src="'+imageUrl+'?a=true" width = "65px" height = "35px"/>

Hope this helps.

Hi Aadit, Thanks for your reply. I am just trying to display the image in my html document. I am passing the html content to the new file content. Some of it looks like this.

var boxwidth = document.properties["sc:price"];content += "<body align=\"center\"><font face= \"Comic sans MS\">";content += "<b>Retail Price: </b>" + price + "<br><br>";content += "<img src=\"'+res+'?a=true\" width = \"65px\" height = \"35px\"/>";newFile.content = content;‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So, I need to escape the double quotes while passing it to the content string.
I tried your code but still the image isn't getting displayed. Is my syntax wrong somewhere? I passed the url as you had mentioned.
I greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks!

If you append ?a=true that tells the content webscript to attach the content as a file to download. Miss that off and it should give you a content stream (it does for me).

Hi Bob, I tried exactly this:

content += "<img src=\"'+res+'\" width = \"65px\" height = \"35px\"/>";‍‍‍

Still, I am not able to see the image.

Can you post the contents of res?

juilee · ‎05-20-2014

Here is the content of res:

var urlStr = document.assocs["sc:relatedDocuments"][0].url;var res = "http://127.0.0.1:8081/share/proxy/alfresco/api/node/content/'+urlStr.substring(4);content += "<img src=\"'+res+'\" width = \"65px\" height = \"35px\"/>";‍‍‍‍‍

It works when I use it in link as:

var str = "View Image";var result = str.link(res);content += result+"<br><br>";‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks again for looking into it.

I am still less than certain what res actually contains at point of use, but it should look something like

http://127.0.0.1:8081/share/proxy/alfresco/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/88265db1-371c-4ad2...

the GUID bit at the end will of course be different.

It doesn't look like that's what you will end up with but I may be wrong.

Also you are going to localhost on a non standard port for Alfresco so I assume your browser is running on the same machine as your Alfresco installation and the you have explicitly assigned alfresco to 8081 away from 8080.
