Images not working - even with external hosting of the pictures

[Peter Nordin]

I have made a design form where you can decide on picture.

I want to make a mood board of those pictures they have chosen and uploaded.

The only problem I can't get it to work. The link shows if i choose url but not pictures.

Does it not working any more?

Did you look at the FAQ which is located in the description of the group?  The URL has to have specific attributes or the photo will not be returned.

There is another problem in that if you have many photos sometimes a few will get skipped.  This seems to happen mostly if you are trying to create a single output with multiple rows.

Thank you for your quick response.

I must have missed something, but I looked in FAQ and in the User Guide but I have only seen fixes how to fix images in that are saved in google drive.

My form is saving the pictures on my hosted site. So they are public. If I write =image they show in the google form, but I can't get it show in the google doc using autocrat. I have put the picture on it's own row in the template. I saw that could be a issue. 

what else do I have to do? Is there an prefix in the form I should use on images?

There has been an issue for the last couple of years with getting images to successfully embed within the google document output. I have forms that used to successfully display up to 5 images in the output but now I've had to just include the hyperlink.

One of my forms still runs with the expectation that the image is displayed. With no change to any settings or user sometimes the image will display, sometimes it won't and the hyperlink only displays.

Try pasting the link in an incognito window to be sure it is public.

Try making changes to the URL so it has the same options as the modified link to the photos in drive.

What has been said about images not being consistent is true.  I think it is less of a problem if the output is Multiple Output rather than single.
