Insert Images / Files

Output Lists

Images stored here can be directly inserted into Outputs using the "[img:.....]" tag.

Certificates

Images can be inserted using either a standard image insert, which opens an image selection window when clicked, or as a data dependent image. For data dependent images you must use the image name, exactly as saved, as text in your expression.

my.raceresult.com Text Boxes

When inserting images in text boxes, such as the Info Page, you must use the image URL to insert the image. When an event file is accessible via my.raceresult.com each image has a publicly accessible URL which can be used to access images in all parts of the software. The format is as follows:

https://my.raceresult.com/EventID/elements/picture.php?eventid=EventID&name=imagename.png

where the EventID and imagename must be replaced with the corresponding Event ID and correct file name.

In the text box of your choice click on the image icon to add an image, the link icon can also be used to link to other files stored in your event file, such as PDFs which may be used for an event guide. 

In the image properties box add relevant URL for your image, you can adjust the image size by using the width and height settings.

E-mails

Images can be inserted into Creating Email Templates in the same way as my.raceresult.com text boxes using the image url. 

If attaching images or files as an attachment to your template then you must ensure that the file type is included in the attachment name, otherwise, the file will be sent with no type and the recipient may be unable to open the file correctly. 

When inserting images into e-mail templates you can optimize the URL by using the Event.ID data field within the URL so it is automatically updated when you copy an event file. This can be useful for e-mail templates if you always use the same name for particular images such as headers or logos.

Accessing images in folders

If your image is the common or my folder you need to use URL encoding to access that folder. When accessing a folder normally you would use a slash in between the folder and the file name. Here we want to replace the slash with the URL encoded version of a slash which is %5C. In this example, we are accessing the my folder.
