Hello,
Hi,
I have stored images in a Oracle's BLOB field. I have tried to display them from Zope in a dtml-in method, but I can not show them.
Anybody knows to how do it ?
First of all, you must understand that html doesn't include it's displayed images inline in the source document it just puts a reference ('<img src="some url">') telling your browser where it should fetch the image. Hence when you say <dtml-var some_image_object> it is actually asking some_image_object to output an <img src="..."> tag. This <img> tag would be useless if the 'src="..."' part didn't refer to a place that actually served the image. Your <dtml-in> of BLOB fields is most likelly spewing a bunch of data in the html source of your document which your browser is rightfully not showing you as an image. The solution to your problem is twofold: * find a way to query your database and return a list of <img src="..."> tags. * find a way to serve ONE image from the same URL you mentioned in the <img src="..."> above. There are many aproaches to that, almost all involving the creation of Zope products, though maybe you can make do with a method to query the database and another method or script that gets an ID as a parameter and spews one image in return. Don't forget to set your 'Content-Type:' header in this method or script. Cheers, Leo
