Can you attach a photo to a record?

Former Member
Former Member $organization

Our Development department would like to know if there is anyone out there that has been able to attach an photo to an individual constituents record. We were wondering what the size requirements are as well as is there a type of format that works better, jpg vs. gif.


Also, where in the record were you storing this picture. Someone here wants to attach the picture to our custom header, but we all thought the picture would be too small, if it would even be possible.


Thanks for your imput!

    Hi Kathryn,

    This is indeed possible and I'm sure there are many different ways of going about doing this.
    We use a computed expression in infomaker which points to a file that holds our patron bitmap photos which are named after the constituent ID number.
    So our computed expression in infomaker would be

    bitmap("Pathway to the file that holds the photos, keep the quotation marks"+customer_no+".bmp")

    The mesurements we use in infomaker for the photos are, Width 229 and Hight 252.
    The actual properties for the .bmp photos we use are, Width 150 pixels and Hight 196.
    It's been awhile since I set these up so I hope I'm not forgetting anything super important.

    Cheers!

    edit. This is for use in the header.

    Ryan,
    in your version they show up on the constituent's header?
     
    we also attach files in the research tab but not many people end up "finding" those ....

    Correct, I forgot to specify that but I tossed in an edit at the bottom of the post to clarify.
