Is there a way to get an items picture on a report? I use the item price list report and export it to HTML to get my items on my web page. This works fine, however I would like to include the items picture also but I don't see that as a field to include on the report. Is anyone doing this or know of a way to do this? Thanks, Craig
You could add the Item.PictureName field to the report. Search the newsgroup and you should find several recent examples of adding a column to a report.
This isn't going to be much help though as this is only going to include the Filename of the image - it is not going to actually include the picture in the report and it is not going to include the path to the file. You would need to first make sure that the item images themselves poster to your website, then make edits to the saved HTML files to create tags to display the images.
Most RMS to eCommerce solutions will have some sort of process that deals with this for you. If you are just doing static pages to advertise without selling that's not going to help you.
There was an eCommerce Integration called Taber Pro that at one point in its history basically exported HTML product pages from the RMS database. I'm not sure that solution is still being supported or even if the later iterations still functioned that way, but you may want to check around and see if you can find it. I don't know of any other products that work this way.
It would be possible to create a utility to do this, but most of the market is looking for the more comprehensive eCommerce solutions. Some of those do have the ability to produce a catalog the eCommerce site, but that's more like the reverse of what you're after...

Thanks Glenn, I actually have a demo of Taber Pro. It's pretty slick but very limited in the design of your web pages. I would use it except they want $1695 to license it. Way too much for all that it does. I guess I was hoping the file path would be included in Item.PictureName. Adding tags to everything (5800 items) would take too long. Oh well, it was worth a try.
