Is it possible to change the image URL in the form through a URL parameter?

Is it possible to dynamically change an image on the form (ie its url location)

Ie can I prepopulate a field and reference that field to identify the location of the image.

Ie pass URL location when loading the form?

Thanks

Hi Nick,

Well, for prepopulating a field, that is possible.

http://www.jotform.com/help/71-Prepopulating-fields-to-your-JotForm-via-URL-parameters

For referencing the prepopulated field, you can use our calculation widget. In this case, you need to conditionally do it:

Please share us the form in question so we can check it.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  I am familiar with both tutorials.

What I am trying to do is update the image on the form by passing a URL parameter.

Ie, in the middle of the form I have an image of an apple (eg www.myimages.com/apple.jpg). 

When I call the form I want to pass a new image location (eg www.myimages.com/orange.jpg) so that the form loads up the Orange image instead of the apple.

What I am asking- is it possible to change the image through a URL parameter?

Many Thanks

Alternatively can you include a reference to a field in the image URL?

eg www.myimages.com/{textinput_23}.jpg

where textinput_23 is a prepopulated hidden field in the form?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible. I did try looking for a direct method to achieve this in the form, no avail. A workaround would be to add the images in the form and show each based on the previous field data - that is through conditional logic.

http://www.jotform.com/help/316-How-to-show-or-hide-a-field-in-the-form-based-on-the-other-field-input-or-selection 

Here's example form, http://www.jotformpro.com/form/52463853327964. Type "black" or "orange" in the Image Param field to view the images.

Then you can do the URL parameter:

http://www.jotformpro.com/form/52463853327964?imageParam=black

http://www.jotformpro.com/form/52463853327964?imageParam=orange

I hope this works for you.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the workaround.  Not sure this will work however as I may have over 200+ images and the locations may change on the form depending on another parameter - so I could potentially have to create over 1000 images.

I will have to consider if there is another workaround. 

Any other suggestions would be very welcome.

Many Thanks

I think that using the form's source code embed and then use javascript code to dynamically affect the fields (i.e make them read-only) can also work.

If I understand correctly, the reason you were trying to come up on this workaround because you were using for a workaround on the pre-populated slider you mentioned on this thread

Hope this help. Let us know if you need further assistance.
