If the graphic file names correspond to the field values, then you
should only need one rule for each field in the data which specifies a
graphic, without having to add any Resources to the job. You should be
able to do something like this in a Graphic JavaScript rule:
return CreateResource(Field("graphic 1") + ".jpg");
In this example, a field value of "A1" would result in the graphic
"A1.jpg". Obviously you will need to modify this to match the exact
file names. You could also put the graphic file names, with extensions,
directly into the database fields, which would allow you to simplify the
JavaScript logic even more:
return CreateResource(Field("graphic 1"));
You may need to set the Search Path on the Advanced tab of the
Composition Settings dialog to specify the location of the graphic
files.

Subject: [fusionpro] Variable graphic link in the excell database?
Hello there,
I am new to FusionPro and doing our second project with the software
which
is much more
involved than the first. I am hoping a more seasoned veteran can help
me
with a question.
I am going to have a database with 7000 plus addressees. There will be
three defferent
variable graphics in this brochure which vary about 38 different ways.
I am wondering if it is possible
to have the database creator reference these graphics in the excell data
base and then
I make the graphic link to the specific area on my end.
For instance:
Name, address 1, address 2, zip graphic 1, graphic 2, graphic 3
Jones 800 st 900 st A1 A2
A3
Is this possible to make a direct link or do I have to make the link as
a
rule every time.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You,
Darren
