Landmark - Plant Schedule displaying image of plant

[J.Aspect]

I was wondering if anyone has created a plant schedule that will also include an image of the species.

I've been trying to attach an image to the plant data under 'Image Detail'.  With both the functions 'Import an External File' or 'Image Resource'(after importing the image into the working VW file.

Then I tried inserting column into the schedule with the database header >>      ='Plant record'.'Image Detail'      <<
However the result that comes up is <image> and doesn't actually show the image that is attached to that specific plant data set.

I've even tried inserting the following functions without any success
=IMAGE(='Plant record'.'Image Detail')     >> RESULTS:       =IMAGE(='Plant record'.'Image Detail')
=IMAGE(S='Plant record'.'Image Detail')     >> RESULTS:       False

=IMAGE('Image Detail')     >> RESULTS:       Custom Image

='Image Detail'

=PLANTIMAGE(2)

 

This will give you the detail image.

Hi Jeff, 

 

I have tried this and I still get a blank cell. Anything else need doing? I have added a jpeg image to every image field in the plant and tried to make a grid of plants images

Your formula is incorrect. There should not be a left parenthesis after the equals sign.

 

Correct should be 

 

=PLANTIMAGE(2)

thanks Pat - I noticed this after I posted and have tried without the left parenthesis too. still no luck

post your file and someone will take a look at your worksheet.

Try PLANTIMAGE(1) PLANTIMAGE(3) PLANTIMAGE(4)  (separate formulas not all at once) in case the image is stored in the wrong location?

I have already tried to modify the PlantRecord fields but without success.  I have the impression that it works, but in reality the fields are not modified.
I'm interested in this subject.

J6470-PLA-ZZ-OO-DR-L-92301-P01.vwxI've attached the file. 

 

I tried the alternative PLANTIMAGE (1..etc) and still no luck.

 

I added a photo to the plant styles of two plants only just to test. Ultimately I'm after a grid of photos of the plants in the landscape areas but if we can get one photo to work I can apply to the others.

 

Thanks for any help.

@Jack2022 the file you uploaded does not have images associated with the plant object.  So, the worksheet is reporting the requested result... no image.

 

 However, there was one image resource in the file, so I attached that to one of the plant styles in the files and and voila...

Wonderful thank you I will try that. I previously chose the below option and I also tried to add a plant photo to the resource library then load from there but no luck.

When I tried it yesterday I found I could add images to some of the plant styles but not others. For some reason those with the coloured circle graphics I couldn't get the image to display in the worksheet e.g.

yet those with the 'normal' graphics I could e.g.

Couldn't understand why so left it hoping someone else would explain...

[Jack2022]

Like Tom I can get it to show for the more graphical plant but not the plants represented by circles. Still exploring.

 

On another note auto sizing the images causes the image that does work to disappear. custom size results in it returning. 

[Jack2022]

almost there ... it started to work when I drag the plant symbol into the drawing. looks like it doesn't work for mixes applied to landscape areas. You need to insert the individual plant somewhere out the way. 

 

Now the challenge is to show multiple plants on a grid not just one column. I applied the same =PLANTIMAGE(2) to the next column and it just repeated the first. 

 

Any ideas?
