mike83 Dynamic usage of static resources
So I have all these sales people images that they would like to have displayed on the sales page relative to the users alias. So I name all the images the same as the users alias and load them up in the static resources. I just want to call them. I am imagingin something liek this but I am not sure how to dynaically populate the name of the resource based on the users alias
So heres a static example where "initals" is the users alias name.
<img id="repImage" src="{!$Resource.img_initials}" alt="{!Rep_Page__c.User__r.Name}" />
What I'd like to do is something like this.
<img id="repImage" src="{!$Resource.img_{!Rep_Page__c.User__r.Alias}}" alt="{!Rep_Page__c.User__r.Name}" />
I am open to any other options ... ideas?
I'm fairly sure you can't dynamically parse resource names. However, I can think of a way to nearly achieve your goal:
1. create a stylesheet which defines div styles for every image you want to upload, e.g.
div.jk { background-image:jk.gif; }
Then put the css, plus the images, into a single .JAR/.ZIP file and upload that as a static resource. Then in your markup you can do something like:
<div class="{!Rep_Page__c.User__r.Alias}">blah</div>
(Obviously along with a stylesheet and URLFOR) to programmatically grab the right image.
