Displaying attachments in print format (jinja)

Frappe Framework Print Formats
1

I am trying to display attachments (images) in a print format.

I am wondering whether something like this is possible? But, I can’t find the list of attachments linked to the Doctype.

{%- for row in doc.attachments -%}

	<img src= {{ row }}

{%- endfor -%}

I know I can do it easily by creating additional fields. But, then the print format isn’t dynamic.

Hi @bglazier,

you could use a lookup function like this:

{% set files = frappe.get_all('File', filters={'attached_to_doctype': 'User', 'attached_to_name': doc.name}, fields=['file_name', 'file_url']) %}
{%- for file in files -%}
   <img src="{{ file.file_url}}" alt="{{ file.file_name }}" />
{%- endfor -%}

The example is based on the user doctype. If your names are unique over all tables, it might be ok to used only the attached_to_name attribute (then it is fully generic). Maybe add a check for file extension, but that is straightforward.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Ah I see… you have to use embed … but this doesnt work exactly either…

<embed src="{{ file.file_url}}" alt="{{ file.file_name }}" width="100%" height="100%" />

Since it displays the pdf with scrollbars.

This is super useful @lasalesi. :clap::clap:

I used this code in custom Html and was able to print all the attachments along with custom fields.
Thanks a lot !!

Anyone an idea about doing this with pdfs?

Usecase: Within a printed work order summary we want to attach the customers drawing.

Tried following code without success:

<embed src="/files/xy.pdf" width="100%" height="100%" type="application/pdf" />

or

<iframe src="/files/xy.pdf" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>

or

<object data="/files/xy.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%"> </object>

Many thanks in advance.
