Filestor URL for Image

[jimarch]

I have read in the forum that you can use Filestor to save images that can then be used to replace the standard form buttons with an image button.  But I haven't been able to find what the URL is supposed to be to pull that image into the Style.  I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Hi @jimarch,

You could use the FileStor image in Caspio by the following steps:

1. Go to your All Assets -> Files. Create a folder for your image and enable the FileStor on it.

2. After enabling it, it should be look like this:

3. After enabling the FileStor to your folder, create a table that will contain the image you want. 

4. Now that you have a table, create a Tabular Report DataPage that will view the picture you want.

5.  On  Configure Results Page Fields, select your field for your Image and display it as a File and check the Hyperlink for the download

6. For Preview, hover the link or open the link in the new tab to get the link of your image: 
 

 

I hope this helps!

Way too many steps to get a useable HTML URL.

Hi @roattw,

Perhaps, you may want to use the steps from the FileStor CDN article instead:

You can get a link to the file stored in FileStor CDN with the following URL adjusted to your data:

https://[Caspio site]cdn.caspio.com/[first 8 AppKey characters]/[foldername]/[filename].[extension]

Example: https://eucdn.caspio.com/03NJB000/Folder name/Image01.png

• [Caspio site] – the Caspio site of your account. Example: eu
• [first 8 AppKey characters] - this part is the same for all your files. You can check it in the Properties of any DataPage > Caspio AppKey. Capitalize all lowercase letters if present. Example: 03NJB000 
• [Folder Name] – folder name of the file. Replace any spaces with %20. Example: Folder%20name
• [filename].[extension] - file name and extension; they can be copied directly from a file. Example: Image01.png

Note: [Caspio site] name is needed only for sites located outside of US. You may check your site country in Help menu -> About Caspio tab.

For the US the following format can be used:
https://cdn.caspio.com/[first 8 AppKey characters]/[foldername]/[filename].[extension]

A lot of people have trouble with this.  I followed the directions but couldnt get image to pull up.  Support ticket verified I had the info and URL correct.  They suggest using Meekee's workaround to verify the URL you are using.

Also, note that for images I upload, Caspio adds versioning to it adding a "ver=1" to the image URL.  So the instructions version didnt work:

According to the instructions my URL would be https://cdn.caspio.com/XXXXXXXX/Images/myimage.png

But real URL was:

https://cdn.caspio.com/XXXXXXXX/Images/myimage.png=ver1
