Show Picture - variable path

[vasikgreif]

Hi, absolute newbie here. Is it possible to pass a variable for ShowPicture action somehow? I would need to pass variable from PHP/JS script, which outputs the path to the file I need to display. Thanks for help.

Yes, it should be possible. You could trigger an event with file path as the payload. Then use {eg.event.payload} in the Show Picture action path.

I don't know exactly how you trigger an event through PHP/JS script.

Hi, thanks for reply. To describe what I need: We use ResourceSpace web app as our asset management system. Now I need to choose the image via ResourceSpace on iPad, and display it on TV. The only way I came with to do this was to write a plugin, that will get the path to the image in RS, pass it as variable somewhere and trigger EG action via it's webserver. I'm not a programmer, so don't know if this is possible at all, but I suppose that it should be doable:

When I click on "display on TV link" in RS:
1) The plugin get's the path to the actual image, passes it as variable somewhere
2) plugin binds to the IP with EG webserver and triggers an event via it
3) EG loads the path variable and displays the image

Do you think this is doable? Or, is anyone here interested to take this as paid job?
