Whenever I try to add an effect using a data source and/or try to use a repeating do/while the image does not show. Is this only capable of using static images?

Thanks,

Hello Jared,

Changing the image can be done dynamically. You just need to make sure the path of the img is correct and it should work just fine. Also, when the change is made is important. The extension renders the effect once the page is loaded, switching the image after that won't have any effect.

Repeating multiple Image Effects is a little bit more complicated. I think you have to generate a new ID for each effect. Also, each new Image Effects will need a JS variable that has the same properties as the original one.

So, it can be done but it's not that straightforward as just repeating the code.

Tell me if you need any help and I'll gladly assist you.

Kind regards,
Andrei Rinciog

The thing missing in your instructions using dynamic content is the fact that you have to still specify a width and height otherwise the image/effect will not show up (which was happening in my case). Generally you don't store a width and height value in the database so if your images vary in size the results are sporadic. This should be fixed.

I found a better solution for my second issue. You shouldn't have to go through all the steps you describe just to use your extension in a repeating table. I'd think many people want this.
