With a view field you don't need a web server at all. If your animated gif is in an attachment field you can use a standard Remedy set fields action to set the View field equal to the Attachment field. If you want to display some special HTML text in a view field you can build the HTML in a character field and then just set the view field equal to that character field.
View fields were introduced in ARS 5 Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ray Palla Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 1:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: how to insert animated images in remedy - How It works - REPOSTED solution ** Sorry for the repost: My subject line got stolen. Here is the solution again. I think its a good trick and was worth repositioning. My customers love it. I've been doing this since 6.1 and it works great through 7.5. Here's how you do it. Use a view field, sized the same as your image, that views a small HTML file from the mid-tier. In the html code put a call to the GIF file for the image attribute, that should also reside on the mid-tier in the same place... ".../shared/images". For the link in the html code put your call for action. Here's how the view field is populated in the field properties text area and/or refreshed with an active link set fields: http://INSONA-Remedy7/arsys/shared/images/INSONA-Logo.html <http://insona-remedy7/arsys/shared/images/INSONA-Logo.html> Here's a sample of the code using an animated gif logo to call an external website: This file is named: INSONA-Logo-Blue.html <HTML> <HEAD> <META name="description" content="INSONA Corporation animated logo - blue"> <META name="author" content="Ray Palla"> <TITLE>INSONA Logo</TITLE> <META name="description" content="INSONA Corporation"> </HEAD> <body topmargin=0 leftmargin=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 BGCOLOR="ffffff"> <A HREF="http://www.INSONA.com"; TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.INSONA.com";><U><B><IMG SRC="INSONA-Web-NewColors.gif" border=0 width="127" height="24" ALT="INSONA Corporation - www.INSONA.com <outbind://36/www.INSONA.com> " ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A> </div> </body> </HTML> It's really easier than it sounds... And it works on the fat client too... I can't recall when view fields were introduced, but I believe it worked in 5x too.
