Thread: Get Image From Another Location/URL

Hello,

I am using the product.SimpleVariantFormat.xml.config package, and I see this line:

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:LookupProductImage(ProductID, ImageFilenameOverride, SKU, 'medium', 1, $AltText)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

I am assuming this displays the medium image. I would like to change this to point to a different URL, but I would like to pass the SKU as a parameter as well.

For example: http://s7sps1.scene7.com/s7/uviewer....s1.scene7.com/

I am using Adobe Scene7. They say that I can just copy and paste a link and pass a parameter to view an image. And that makes sense. However, I am not sure how I would pass the SKU to the URL in the XML package, say where 9050037 is.

Could someone help me with this please?

Please... I really need some help with this.

Do you mean something like this?

Code:

<img src="http://www.domain.com/{SKU}.jpg" alt="alt text"/>

Yes. Exactly! But I want to get the SKU of the product that is being viewed... Is it THAT easy?! How would I do that in the XML package?

I tried that in the XML package and it doesn't work... I thought putting this in the URL would work, but it doesn't:

<xsl:value-of select="SKU" /> or even <xsl:value-of select=SKU/>

I tried this too:

<img>
<xsl:attribute name="src">
URL with <xsl:value-of select="SKU" />
</xsl:attribute>
</img>

Nothing.

And I tried this:

<img src="concat('http://s7sps1.scene7.com/s7/uviewer.jsp?asset=CompanyName/',SKU,'&amp;config=Scene7SharedAssets/Universal_ImageSet1-2&amp;isr=http://s7ips1.scene7.com/')"/>

Nothing still... It doesn't error out, I just have a blank area. No image.

I think that the problem is that this code doesn't work either :-

Code:

<img src="http://s7sps1.scene7.com/s7/uviewer.jsp?asset=CompanyName/9050037&config=Scene7SharedAssets/Universal_ImageSet1-2&isr=http://s7ips1.scene7.com/" />

i.e. - that url does not return an image.

It actually does... I just changed our company name to "CompanyName". I can PM you the actual URL if you want?

I am not able to send you a PM...

Thank you very much! I just sent you an email...

This should do the trick:

Code:

 
<img>
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('http://s7sps1.scene7.com/s7/uviewer.jsp?asset=CompanyName/',SKU,'&amp;config=Scene7SharedAssets/Universal_ImageSet1-2&amp;isr=http://s7ips1.scene7.com/')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</img>
