We are having few rich text box in our custom objects in force.com enterprise edition. These rich text box are rendered in an android application given to our clients. Till now we were using the android app online but due to huge customer demand, we wish to make our app offline. But we are facing difficulties due to images in rich text box. The images in rich text box are stored as in a form
But when we try to use the android app offline, we cannot see the images in webview. Consulting our web developer, he said that the images do not have static path and so they cannot be downloaded and stored for offline use. So my query is, is there some way, which will help us to get static path for the images inserted in Rich Text Box available in force.com, so that we can use them offline.
Thanks!
I had the same problem some time ago and also raised the issue with salesforce. They got back to me saying that images within rich text boxes could be stored in any server and needs to be authenticated to via a browser to have access too.
But you could try to use this, but its not a guaranteed approach as salesforce can change the way they store images.

Hope this helps.
Here's the response from SFDC :
As discussed over the call, as of now Salesforce does not have this feature built in the current release, else we would be more than happy to help you.
However, you can also post an idea on our Idea Exchange, where our customers share their ideas and expectations. (http://sites.force.com/ideaexchange/ideaHome)
Please feel free to contact us, if you need any further assistance.
Thank you for contacting salesforce.

I have a requirement to build an spfx webpart that displays pdf documents stored on SharePoint Online.
The web part is meant to display links to the pdf documents and when one link is clicked, it shows the document with an autogenerated watermark and a dynamic footer. The document should then be downloaded and save those watermarks and footers.
I know spfx and react, Please who can direct me to someone or link where this has been done or provide guidance as to how to achieve it
I am still researching and I want to find the best answers before I start work
I use google form to collect images. The images are stored in a folder in google drive. The folder is shared publicly so that all the photos within the folder are also public if the link is available. The responses are stored in google sheet and converted to a accessible file that i.e. change from "https://drive.google.com/open?id=" to "https://drive.google.com/uc?id=" so that images are directly accessible. The google sheet is connected with google data studio. I need to show these images in the data studio dashboard. What I could find as solution was to create a table with the image URLs. Using a table, I've tried to do the following
Created a new field in google data studio and added image function with a link as mentioned above.
Instead of creating a new field, changed the type of image URL column to URL as well as image.
Both above are working for me as an editor (during edit or view as shared in below images. But when I share the dashboard as a link and view it in incognito mode, it is not working. I hope I'm able to explain.
Google Form Link: https://forms.gle/FFjX7cV8tJUSx5GW9
Google sheet where data is collected : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1glpAId0LHgTUUtVk3RwakDr-H1KUXk3WtA-SE50HKXQ/edit?usp=sharing + also Embedded in google data studio
Google Data Studio link: https://datastudio.google.com/s/oaCN4EO-J4c
Its working for me as editor, but as a viewer in above link, its not working as visible in above data studio link
But as a viewer (incognito mode) images are not visible.
Actually, the images work for any user logged into its own Google account. The problem is really experienced when the dashboard is open with no logged user.
Diving into the problem, it seems to be related with the number of redirects that Google Drive need to access the image. Reproducing your dashboard I was able to see the error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS in browser's Dev Mode.
Steps in logged mode:
Access https://drive.google.com/uc?id=[id]
302 Redirect to https://*.googleusercontent.com/docs/
The image is returned
Steps in non logged mode:
Access https://drive.google.com/uc?id=[id]
302 Redirect to https://*.googleusercontent.com/docs/...
302 Redirect to https://docs.google.com/nonceSigner?...
The image is returned
If you look into Dev Mode, it is possible to note that the URL ended with "/nonceSigner" is accessed dozens of times when not logged (the same does not happen when logged). This means that Data Studio start a loop trying to access the image, which triggers a "retry" operation when it sees a double redirect.
Curiously, this does not happen when using the standard Image control (instead of table chart, that reads from a DataSource), so it seems to be a bug in the Table chart component.
So you're out of luck. My suggestion is to use Cloud Storage instead of Google Drive, since it seems you're using some undocumented features and they'll surely break at some time.
Another option is to report this bug to DataStudio team (report here). There are Data Studio developers that activelly answer questions in StackOverflow (like Minhaz Kazi), so try to drive their attention to this issue.
I was having a related issue here - a colleague was not able to view images in a data studio dashboard, even though he was able to view the same files directly in Drive. It turned out to only be a problem using the Brave browser! I can't figure out what exactly was going on, but posting here in case it helps someone else.
has anyone worked with react and sharepoint, please tell me, if there any reference for creating a react app and deploy in sharepoint online directly, many of the references are creating react app as web part, but I cant find what I looking for. please help
It actually depends on where you want your application to show up in the SharePoint.
In addition to the WebParts, there is AppCustomizer option that allows you to show your app in one dedicated the placeholder of the sharepoint site (top or bottom):

Other that, there is "single page part" option that allows you app to occupy all the space on the page, and to be the only thing the user gets basically:

I want to upload the image in my website. The same image will be shown in another website. So this is the scenario where image is uploaded in one website and displayed in both website. These two websites are hosted in two different servers as well as they both have their own database.
I am using Angular JS, Entity Framework, Web API and SQL Server 2014 as backend for both of the website. Currently I am using ngFileUpload to upload the images. Please answer me on below questions:-
Should I upload the image in database(as nvarchar-max) or filesystem(FTP or local web server file system)? I read many articles and get to know that Database retrieval of image has affect on performance but it is more secured. However File System is easy in performance but complex on maintenance like back ups. So I am just not able to decide which to choose among these two as both have pros and cons. Which option will be more suitable to my requirement where same image will be displayed in both website. Please note that there can big images like upto 5 MB uploaded in the application but the number of images will not be huge as compare to any social networking or online shopping site.
How to create different size of images(thumbnail, medium, large etc) automatically upon uploading of image in website? Is there any tool or directive already available in Angular JS to achieve this?
I know my question is broad but I need suggestion to start with my requirements.
Please help.
I use the file system to host my images. If the image is displayed on someone's computer screen, they can use an image capturing software to copy it anyway. Also, while storing them to a database may be more secure, I don't need the extra overhead in my code where a simple url to retrieve the image will suffice.

I am a webdeveloper. Have experiences in web development languages i.e PHP, HTML, CSS, jQuery. Ive been googling for sometime and still not clear for me if I should use phonegap.
I have a project which will be deployed in Web, iOS & Android.
The project is more on displaying data like belows :
User Profile (save profile / view proifle)
User Activities (displays all activities of users. get the new/latest activities everytime for display)
User Feeds (displays all feeds. get the new/latest feeds everytime for display)
User Subscription (displays all subscribers and subscribed by user)
Login/Logout/Register/Facebook Connect
Basically, it is more on displaying data.
So i assume the API calls will handle all the data saving and retrieval.
I will be making an API using PHP for retrieving and saving of data and i got no issue regarding this.
Also i should use a websocket/node.js kind of plugin for the realtime activities/feeds data.
All i want to know is if Phonegap fits for my needs.
We all know phonegap has many disadvantages and i want to ask the advice of experienced experts out there if Phonegap is good to go for this kind of project.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Even though I don't have experience with phonegap, I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I recently started using titanium studio with the alloy mvc framework, definitely worth checking it out.
So far I have build myself a todo app working on both android and iOS, using a remote mysql database server to store my data on. They offer cloud services also, havent looked into that yet.
You can also buy modules in their store, often not that expensive and it will save you a lot of coding time.
