I’m having issues with the image component on Skuid Platform. I can get images to show in a table so I know that the data is pointing to the right source, but when trying to reference the same image through the image component, nothing shows. The attribute says "src(unkown) in the inspector. Also trying to use an HTML image tag in a template fails to show as well. If I use a static reference in the image or template components, it works as it should.
Question
Rest API and the Image Component

+6Hey Sig, could you please try the following:
- add a new UI-only field to your model
- select “Display type = Formula” and “Formula Return Type = Text”
- in the field tab “Formula” please insert the field which stores the URL with double curly brackets
- now use the new UI-only field as “Image URL” in your image component
Does it work this way?
Could you please let me know the field name of the URL? I’m wondering if contains text only or is there maybe one or more dots included, like: {{any.text.here}}
Thanks,
Luzie
+1Hi Luzie,
It doesn’t work that way either.
The field name does contain dots, {{records.fields.Image}}. One thing I forgot to mention is that I did need to override the field type to be text instead of URL in order for the image to show in the table, but that doesn’t help for the image component.
