Showing an image on a public portal

Hello

 

I have a case where I have a public portal VF page and I want to show an image on this page.

 

Initially I wanted to use the Attachment object (I attached the image to the object showing on the page) but when I did that I got an unauthorized access error, which I assumed is because the Attachment object is not accessible to a Guest user.

 

Same think happened if I use the Document object to store the image.

 

Can someone advise what is the right way to achieve this apart from using a Static Resource?

 

Many thanks

Did you checked the 'Externally Available Image' checkbox for the document you put into 'Documents'?

Yes.

Maybe I'm using the wrong way to access it:

 

/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=<TheDocumentID>

 maybe accessing the file from a public page requires a different link?

 

Thanks

I have URL like this on a sample image I uploaded.

 

https://c.na12.content.force.com/servlet/servlet.ImageServer?id=015U0000000LcTp&oid=00DU0000000HOC3&lastMod=1312657393000

You can try one alternative here 

Add the image in Static resource and set Cache Control of resource as public and then use that imgae.

Thank you but I prefer not using a Static Resource.

 

I was finally able to make the Document show.

 

Thank you all

I would suggest you to explain what was the issue when you and how you fixed it. It will help others when they will get stuck in same issue.

Sure;

The permissions on the Document object were not configured correctly.

 

On this note, does anyone know if I can create a preview of the image located as a Doc object using a Formula and the IMAGE function, like I do with Static Resources?

 

Thanks
