What do you do for dynamic images now that Img Viewer has been depreciated

dykesn92 — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 10:41:23 GMT

I am building an internal report where the pictures are required to dynamically change depending on what's selected.

I used to use img viewer and while it was far from the perfect solution, it was the only one I had. This was removed from the store and now seems to be downgraded entirely.

My use case is

As a data manager I want to build a report that can visualise different images depending on a number of variables so that I can add context to each record.

An example is brand [logos or templates changing depending on the brand selected].

Does anybone have any ideas?

You can have a look at Chiclet Slicer.

Thanks, that's a cool looking tool that I will definatley use, however it doesn't seem to solve my issue?

In the above example they talk about cars and in the final minutes of the video they give you the optopn to change charts and info based on clicking on specific logos.

The bit I want to be able to do, is if the user clicks on said logo an image will change:

Clicking on Toyota changes an image to show a toyota car, clicking on the Audi logo changes it to show an Audi car instead.

You can use Chiclet Slicer for both options

Show images you want
Filter other visuals by user's clicks

Works, thanks!

Watch out for anyone trying to do this, my companies firewall blocked it from working.

Thank you!
