Does anybody know of a way ( or an example ) to display an image ( fetched from a HTML remote source for instance ) in a UI5 dashboard module. For instance, some way to display a img like …)
I was thinking of displaying google weather forecast icons, or even a data series plotted by Pachube directly in the UI dashboard, it would be kind of a different approach from the data mining plugin with the minus that you depend on the remote site, but with the plus you do not have to deal with the plotting or storing the data series yourself
Someone created a Show My IP plug-in/deivce that would display a graphic that displayed your IP from another site. I think it was based off of the IP Camera plug-in/device. I am having trouble locating the post in the forum though.
[tt]GWC[/tt] ([tt]http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,6553.0.html[/tt]) uses [tt]HTML[/tt] injection to display an icon on the UI4 dashboard. [tt]HTML[/tt] injection doesn’t seem to work on the UI5 dashboard, but [tt]HTML[/tt] injection does work on UI5 device tabs. Be aware that chances are that MCV will fix this security bug soon.
You could use the Luup device icon, defined in [tt]D_*.json[/tt] (I don’t know whether it does support URLs).
There are some image related ControlTypes in some [tt]D_*.json[/tt] files: [tt]image[/tt] and [tt]image_player[/tt]
(But that’s just connecting the camera plugin to a remote ‘camera’ snapshot.)[/quote]
That’s the one, thanks. It won’t display the image in the UI though. @oTi did you use Google to find that post, or the internal search? I tried every combination of words I could think of on the forum search and got nothing.
Internal. Search for show ip address ; with Most recent topics first it’s currently hit #23. With Search in topic subjects only it’s currently the only hit.
