Hi Lonnie

Please answer a few questions:

1. Did you use autolink or did you set it up manually?
2. Is your image placeholder in the list of placeholders?
3. If yes is there an image icon or text icon next to it?

Regards

Pat

Thank you :)

MyDataMerge can’t know if you want to merge an image or text into a frame. By default it assumes: text.

So to tell it you want to merge images there are two ways (just use one of it)

1. Inside your layout add an @ to the placeholder name. So instead of <<image>> write <<@image>>. Then Autolink assumes it is an image (you have to autolink again!)

2. In the placeholder list in MyDataMerge double click the image placeholder to enter the editor. Select “Replace with image” instead of “Replace with text” in the drop down. Then click the plus sign to add a “Datasource” element and inside that element (double click it) select the datasource column with your image pathes.

Ah you are using HFS pathes “some:path:to:image.jpg” and not posix pathes “some/path/to/image”.

In the current version there is a bug with path conversion from HFS to posix. Tomorrow we’ll release a bug fix for that.

This is a known bug – sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll let you know once it is available tomorrow. That will fix it.

Just to note: it’s never a good idea to have local pathes inside your datasource. If you pass the project to someone else the pathes won’t work.

It’s better to only have the image names in the datasource like “image.jpg”. Then you can set the path dynamically in MyDataMerge.
