Issue displaying Images in HTMLText control

[Srautio]

I'm have spend the better part of a week to try and figure out how to display images from a SharePoint Page HtmlContent inside powerapps.

I have a Flow calling a Sharepoint API to get the content of specific pages as html and I'm displaying that inside a HtmlText control. However all of the hrefs or src tags are relative links like:

src=/images/image.png href=/other/page.aspx

Which ment all images shows up as broken links. So figured I'd try fixing the links by substituting every src/href tag with the full link by just adding our organisation path to the start of each tag.

Substitute(theHtmlText, "src=", "src=myorganisation.sharepoint.com")

Which works for both src and href to display the images inside the editor. However I found out that this "bruteforce" way of "fixing" the links only works in the web-editor/preview if I'm signed in. Makes sense, since I need to be signed in to our organisations SharePoint to see the images. If I open the app in incognito mode or on Android/IOs the images wont render. So are there any clever workarounds for displaying a full sharepoint page in Powerapps without having to make the images publicly accessible?

Hi @Srautio,

Do you want to display image within a SP Page HtmlContent using a HTML Text control in PowerApps?

When you retrieved a specific SP Page HTML Content, all src property values or href property values would be generated as relative URL path. In order to display the image within the HTML Text control, you need to provide a absolute URL Path (as your mentioned).

If you add your Organization path to the start of each src or href tag property value (e.g. 'https://myorganization.sharepoint.com/...'), when you access the image, you need to provide your credential, if you don't provide your credential (don't sign in), the image would not be displayed.

If you want to display a full sharepoint page in Powerapps without having to make the images publicly accessible, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

It is a known issue that Pictures that need authentication on SharePoint are not supported yet. Please check the following thread in for more details:

If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

Best regards,

Am I correct in saying that there's no straight forward way of doing this within PowerApps at the moment?
