Displaying images with path imported from xml

[longhairfreak]

I am new to indesign so please bare with me. I created a template and am able to import xml into that template. My question is how do i display images with indesign? I am currently passing in the path of the image...,will that work or is there something else I have to do?

Freak, are you importing the XML into pre-tagged frames or just into the structure view?

 

[longhairfreak]

Currently I am importing to a document with pre-tagged frames.

 

[AdobeTim]

So you're saying that images in the XML import are not showing up in the frames that have been tagged to contain them?

 

[longhairfreak]

xml is passing the path of the image. I can tag an element to display the actual string but how do i get indesign to retrieve the image from the specified path and display it?

 

[longhairfreak]

Does anybody know how to do this? do i need a special control in indesign?

I think this is an xml problem not indesign, I think you should try to find out what the correct notation in xml is

hi

if you import to one story - use my ReplaceInline script from AdobeShare

you only need to have all images/eps/pdf in same folder as document (or in sub folder) - images.eos/pdf don't need paths, only name with extension
