From "FileID=1" to "aspnet.gif": how?

Hi all,

I've started creating a module called Extracts for a client which will contain several strings plus an image and a URL. Its purpose is to display a short version of an article in a homepage, while clicking on the URL will drive to the full article's page.

Well, for that I'm using Events module as a base and I'm stucked in a point I hope you can take me out of. While saving (and uploading) the image is done well (I get "FileID=..." in the corresponding DB field), I seem to fail to display that image. I use FormatImage function but that only adds domain and path to "FileID..." string. I can't find the way to transform that into its correspoding file name.

Checking the Events module, I see that objEvents.GetEvents in GetCalendarEvents function already retrieves the correct file names, but my corresponding functions do not. What am I missing?

Could anyone give me a hint?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Kind regards from Barcelona.

oreidomar,

you need to do this in you sql: here is some syntax which should help.

SELECT m.ModuleID,

'Src' = CASE WHEN srcf.FileName IS NULL THEN m.Src ELSE srcf.Folder + srcf.FileName END,

FROM {objectQualifier}MyModule AS m

LEFT OUTER JOIN {objectQualifier}Files AS srcf ON m.Src = 'fileid=' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, srcf.FileID)

Perfect, that's what I was missing. It works now.
