Blank images?

creativearc wrote on 2013-06-25:

I created a template called pdf-test that uses a product to generate a PDF.

Example: I used this URL:

http://mgcdiagnostics.com/products/view/ultima-pf-and-pfx-with-gas-chromatography

changed it to this to render the pdf template:

http://mgcdiagnostics.com/products/pdf-test/ultima-pf-and-pfx-with-gas-chromatography

and got the attached as a result.

Mostly successful I think.

Any idea why it lacks the product image in the PDF?

Hello,

You have two options to resolve this. In the HTML code that your application sends to the API either

1/ Use a full URL:

src="http://mgcdiagnostics.com/images/made/images/products/UltimaPFXwithGasChromatography_frontview_450_325_c1.jpg"

instead of

src="/images/made/images/products/UltimaPFXwithGasChromatography_frontview_450_325_c1.jpg"

2/ Or you can add the <base> element to <head>:

<head>
  <base href="http://mgcdiagnostics.com">
