[FX.php List] FMSA & container fields

[Stephen Knight]

Hi Kevin,


The initial post mentioned a 404 error when using the link to the image. If
the question is still relevant then the link you used should be working.
Double check the ports and use the real WPE url for the IP. If a username /
password is needed for the database then the url should be in the following
format:
http://User:Pass@serverIP:port/fmi/xml/cnt/data.jpg?-db=testdb.fp7&-lay=Admi
n&-recid=1&-field=image(1)
The port is usually 80 and can be omitted.

Best Regards,
Stephen Knight

Thanks for your help guys. I've done some further testing and at this stage
it appears I'm dealing with a weird permissions issue at the layout level. I
tried grabbing the image from a different (pre-existing) layout, and that
was successful. The layout I was using before gave me everything but the
images. I'll have to conduct some more testing, as this is an existing db
that was developed in v6 and converted to v8. Given the authentication and
permissions model is very different in v8, I'm thinking something somewhere
is either corrupt or didn't translate across too well. I'll post back with
some more info when I have it.
