Thread: Product / Category Images from external Site

Hi currently this returns the image url for Product

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ProductandEntityLink(ProductID, SEName, $EntityID, $EntityName, 0)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />

returns values as /images/products/icon/ball.jpg

But I want to append a External url to the image name

I want to get the result as
http://www.externalSite.com/images/products/icon/ball.jpg

Can any one suggest how can i get this done?

Thanks

Um...I think you may be a little mixed up here? The aspdnsf:ProductandEntityLink() function doesn't return the image url for a product. It returns the url for the actual product. For example it would return something like "p-183-thumbtack-holder.aspx". The aspdnsf:ImageUrl() function will return the image url which is something like "/images/Product/large/183.jpg". If this is the function you want to use to return an image on an external site you could use the following:

<img src="http://www.externalSite.com{aspdnsf:ImageUrl(ProductID, 'Product', 'large', false)}" />
