Did you abandon the idea of using location attributes?

atiq · January 20, 2021, 3:08pm

Hey @dkayiwa I think in location attribute there is no datatype like blob or longblob.Thats why I am stick on this.

dkayiwa · January 20, 2021, 3:24pm

Did you evaluate the option of it being a path to the location of the image? Or a base64 encoded string of the image?

I am actually want to display location name with associate logo image. I added column, image also fetched the through /location/UUID but I have no Idea is this api triggering while home.page appears. I am only able to see location I’d UUID and name.

I understood concept of LA but when a user with specific location loged in is there any way to fetch location attributes.

I don’t know am I going in the appropriate direction. can please help to do it with both way because I know what you suggested is actual use case that I have.

Thank you

Here is an example of a call to fetch a location with attributes: https://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/location/aff27d58-a15c-49a6-9beb-d30dcfc0c66e

@atiq how are you storing your image to the database.are you storing it as a blob or you are simply storing its location to the db?

atiq · January 21, 2021, 11:09am

@herbert24 I am storing in longblob.

herbert24 · January 21, 2021, 1:15pm

why not store it on the server and its path to the db

atiq · January 21, 2021, 6:27pm

Yah but after login how can I get that image path to display some where in home page is there any existing api call where I can include the location image path to use it. Beacause what I see in header.jsp in appui module only I am getting location name ,I’d and UUID , I have already added logo blob in the mapping and also getting it when I hit location/UUID but I have no ideas is this api end triggering when home appears because I need that path to display location logo or image.

It will be really helpful to give me a path that I can follow I will improve my approach as I understand the code. Thanks @herbert24 and @dkayiwa for your replies, You guys never get irritated due to questioning .hats off to you guys.Appreciates your dedication.

Yah. @herbert24 I just added one column in location table and did mapping for the same in openmrs core. Then in web-rest module I added the logo property in location resources file. Then I am able to get the logo data in /location/uuid end point. Then I did some ui changes with appui module in header.jsp page. Time being I called an api location/uuid in both cases when a normal user get logged in and admin user. It handles all the scenario like admin change the location from ui then logo for that location also gets appear. I have recorder the screen as gif for complete understanding but unable to upload it here. Thanks
