How to Display Account Image in a Portal Page

[paulsnolan]

Hi All

We have a requirement whereby we want to display a company logo based on the user logged into our portal. At the moment we can retrieve a company named based on the logged-in user (using the Account entity) and we can display the name using Liquid. I have noticed that the Account entity has a column called Default Image (entityimage). Can I use this value to display a company logo? So far any images displayed in our portal have been attached to Notes in a Web File. How do I display an entityimage in a portal page?

Thanks

Hi @paulsnolan ,

See this article (https://debajmecrm.com/query-and-display-entity-image-in-your-entity-list-or-entity-form-in-powerapp...) which show different ways to get entityimage field and show it on the portal.

Hi OOlashyn

Thanks for the link.

Tried the fetchXML with the following:

{% assign accountid = user.parentcustomerid.id %}

{% fetchxml my_query %}

    <fetch version="1.0" mapping="logical">

        <entity name="account">

            <attribute name="name" />

            <attribute name="accountnumber"/>

            <attribute name="entityimage_url"/>

            <attribute name="entityimageid"/>

            <filter type="and">

                <condition attribute="accountid" operator="eq" value="{{ accountid }}"/>

            </filter>

        </entity>

    </fetch>

{% endfetchxml %}

    {% for result in my_query.results.entities %}

        Returned by fetchXML:- </br>

        </br>Name: {{ result.name }}

        </br>Account Number: {{ result.accountnumber }}

        </br>Entity Image URL: {{ result.entiytimage_url }}

        </br>Entity Image ID: {{ result.entityimageid }}

    {% endfor %}

It worked in so far as it returned the expected data except that the url is coming back blank

Tried the query in the XrmToolBox FetchXML Builder tool and it returned a value for the url

What am I missing?

Found another way to do this using liquid

{% assign account = entities.account[user.parentcustomerid.id] %}

{% assign entityimageurl = account.entityimage_url %}

{% assign rootfolder = "HARD CODED VALUE for dynamics root folder" %}

<img src="{{ rootfolder }}{{ entityimageurl }}" />

The catch is the hard coded value. Is there a way to get this root folder value for the CDS which holds the images (the current Dynamics environment)

Hi OOlashyn

Following my reply re fetchXML solution.

My error, typo in result.entiytimage_url . Used correct value result.entityimage_url , but this only returns a relative value, it's missing the root value of the connected Dynamics 365 instance, so the image isn't displayed. 

Is it possible to get the powerapps portal connected Dynamics 365 instance URL using Liquid?

Thanks

Hi @paulsnolan ,

Unfortunately, as to my knowledge, there is ootb way to find out the url of CDS instance. You can either hardcode those values or create a separate entity which will store those values per environment etc.

Hi @OOlashyn

Thanks for the very quick reply. Would a Site Setting also be a viable option?

[OOlashyn]

Yes that will work. Or using Content Snippet.

Thanks @OOlashyn gone with the site setting
