ShowImage

Display image in Course listings as determined by the ScheduleFields INI setting.

Required Parameters

  1. Image Name: looks for a file with this name and either .jpg or .gif extension in the ace/images folder. If you include an extension and optionally a path, it will attempt to display the image as specified.

Optional Parameters

  1. Logical .t. Ignored if Image Name includes an extension. If .F. or omitted, looks for the .jpg first. If .T. looks first for a .gif extension, then a .jpg, then a .png.
  2. Character expression of style sheet class for image styling. If a class is supplied here (e.g. awRightText), a div tag with the associated class is used to handle formatting. If left blank, or NONE or CSS is entered (both must be entered in uppercase), the system will create a div with the default centering class, awCenterText.
  3. Numeric value:  the generated string will be padded with spaces to the specified length. Default value is 101. This is to prevent truncated strings when used in a cursor field. If zero, no padding will be done.
  4. Character Expression for image Alt text. If omitted, the default value is "Category Icon".
  5. Character expression to generate a URL on majorgroups.htm, showgroups.htm, or subgroups.htm. Used when displaying images on the groups page.
