pruus Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I use Data Merge with the images in a directory. This works fine. Now i did try to add an internetadress for an imagelink. This doesn't work or do i do something wrong? Normal use to link an image: /Users/pruus/attachements/empty.jpg on Mac or c://documents/attachements/empty.jpg Now i want to use images directly from internet like: " https://powercage.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Speciale-pull-up-bar-265x265.jpg" in a XLS sheet. But this does not work... What's possible or a workaround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify: You want to have the URL in your XLSX file, and have Publisher automatically locate the image (via the URL) and place the image directly into the data-merged document? If so, I don't think that's a supported function. The Help says: Quote For image links, the resource path names can be absolute (below), relative to the data source's or saved document's file location. MacOS: /Users/username/Desktop/ProfilePics/magazine_staff_pics_andy.jpg Windows: "C:\Users\username\Desktop\ProfilePics\magazine_staff_pics_andy.jpg" As it says nothing about URLs, I wouldn't expect them to work.

pruus Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 @walt.farrell that’s right, but it could work meanwhile, extended borders. And it’s just a small step to arrange this. Pitty, it would make Datamerge so much better. A lot of sources are online. In case of my mages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to raise a Feature Request for this function, or to agree with an existing one if someone else has already suggested it. pruus and Raggedmane 2 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
