Custom Visual - Card Browser

[raulnmsantoro]

Hello friends. Good night.

I recently installed the visual Card Browser. I was able to use all the features available on it, however, the "Title Image (URL)" field does not work, except for images hosted on the Internet.

The image files I need to work on are on our corporate network and even though we provide the full server path, the images are not displayed. A blank space is created, but without an image.

In other visuals, for example Image Grid, they work perfectly.

Can anyone help me or bring a light to this problem?

Thank you.

Hi @raulnmsantoro ,

Maybe pictures need to be publicly visible to be rendered by Power BI. Please check if your company has some strict polices such as "Files are only allowed to be viewed internally".

@Icey Thanks for idea. In the first message I mentioned that the photos, which are in a local folder, work in other visuals. So, the problem is not with permission. I've been reading on the Internet, but I don't know if it's true, the respective look (Card Browser) doesn't work with photos in local folders. If that is true, it is extremely disappointing. 🙂

I agree with raulnmsantoro that it is disappointing if it is true that the developers chose only to make openly-published images available in the card browser tool. This is a privacy issue, pure and simple. I'm trying to create an internal report with images of individuals. We do not have their permission to publish their photographs to the web. It should be possible to call up images from our protected datasources, just as we can in Powerapps. 
Are there any workarounds or other tools available in Power BI that respect image privacy?

@raulnmsantoro , Is this image is on dropbox or google drive. Those images do not get displayed sometimes.

The way to check is that, open the image URL on incognito/private mode. It should not show any pop-up.  Right-click on that image and copy image url. Is it the same as the one you have given. If not this is the temporary url for the image. You can test with that.

But this a temporary url. You need check you host for public image hosting

Thanks for the answer. But as I said, the image is not on the Internet.

I have a folder on the company's corporate network.
