Images in modules

Hello,

I have some anomalities when using images in modules. I do for example the following:

  • I have a module (Toolkit) that I use to copy templates, methods and so forth from
  • When I duplicate a form in another module from that module I can see all the images (that actually belong to the module) just fine
  • When I load that new module into my main solution, the images are broken although the Toolkit is also loaded into the solution

I am not sure I made myself understandable. It looks like you can use the images from a module in a solution but once you use that solution as a module itself, the images are broken.

Thanks

so you are saying:

module 1 (which have the image)
modele 2 (which uses the image)

then solution 1 which imports both then module 2 doesn’t show the image?

I think that’s what I mean :)

i can’t recreate this.

i make a moduleA where i import a media and show it on a form
then i make a moduleB, that imports moduleA, where i import a media (i don’t see the pictures of modulaA anyway so you can’t use them.

Then i make a solution that imports moduleB
Everything looks fine. ModuleA and ModuleB both are displaying there medias.

i don’t see the pictures of modulaA anyway so you can’t use them.

That’s the point: if you have Module A loaded into Module B you can duplicate a form (with media) from Module A to use it in Module B. As long as you work in Module B you see the images (that actually don’t exist in Module A, but have been duplicated), but in the solution, where both modules are used, they are gone.

So in short: If you don’t import an image into a module but have it through duplication of a form of a module in a form, you have that problem. Strangely enough, it works inside the modules, although the media is actually not available in Module B.

Yes i looked at it some more and now media’s from modules are shown in the solutions (or modules).

I didn’t have any problem displaying them only that the media wasn’t in the media dialog.

Yes i looked at it some more and now media’s from modules are shown in the solutions (or modules).

Does that mean that you can import a media in one module and use it in any other module or the solution if that module is loaded?

Thanks
