Hi Stefan,

the directory is located here:
/opt/jedox/ps/htdocs/app/docroot (or equivalent depending on your OS)

the "/" at the begining of "/pr/images/bikersbest_logo_update.jpg" represent the root directory (in this case docroot). This docroot is set in the apache configuration : DocumentRoot "/htdocs/app/docroot"

so yes you can connect with an ftp client to the server and upload the files. The other solution if you do not have access to the server, is to ask an administrator to create a shared folder (under docroot), where you would have full access to upload your files

Hello all,

I'd like to resurrect this thread because the original poster also asked the following about an image file for the Jedox Web function SHOWPICT():
'Or could I use the Filemanager or ETL to bring it into my system and reference on it?'

In fact, uploading the image file into the file manager would be the optimal solution for many of my projects. The problem is, I do not know how to include an image file stored in the file manager as one of the parameters of SHOWPICT(). I played a little with the syntax but no luck.

I'm using Jedox 6.0 SR2 with the 'Administration guide' for Jedox 5.1 SR5 since that's the last one that I can find. No solution there and a search in this forum and in the knowledge base have not helped.

Question for the administrators: can we mark this thread as 'not done'? I believe that part of the original question (which I restated in my preceding message) was in fact never answered.

Hi Jacques,

right-click on your image and select the tab "Link". Copy the link and put it as argument for the SHOWPICT function

hope this helps!

Hi laloune,

Thanks for the answer. Let's say that I've imported the file Small_red_circle.png in the file manager. I've tried what you've suggested: the function call is now =SHOWPICT("//Default/Public Files/Small_red_circle.png","1","1"), but in the end, I obtain only a 'missing graphic' graphic.

Hi Jaques,

looks like you did not copy the URL from "Link"-Tab laloune was talking about.
You copied the path of the picture.

My SHOWPICT looks something like this:
=SHOWPICT("http://[myserver]/ui/lnk/?_=a.i1YyNDQwMDNU0jHQUUoz0TXWtTAwU4oFAA")

And the result is in B3:

Regards

Now I understand.

The exact sequence is as follows:
1. double click on the graphic file in the file manager to open the graphic file;
2. right click on the opened graphic file and choose the option to copy the link of the graphic (browser dependent); and
3. copy the link between inverted commas as the first parameter of SHOWPICT().

Thanks laloune and p.hildebrandt!
