Structure: How to use an image as wiki markup in a column?

[Jochen Berdi]

we want to display a traffic light in a column on an IF condition. The three traffic lights (red, green, yellow) are located as an jpg image on a public Confluence page.

Example of a condition for a traffic light:

IF(itemtype = 'folder' and search("Error (New)"; summary) and issue = 0;

Link to the corresponding traffic light:
https://confluence.example.com/download/attachments/125151914/trafficrot.jpg?api=v2

or

https://confluence.example.com/download/attachments/125151914/trafficrot.jpg

How do I make it show the image and not the link to the image? Thanks.

Hi Jochen,

EDIT: Unfortunately this does not work anymore.  This relies on the underlying Jira markup, which was updated, and no longer supports images.  This answer has more info https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-embed-images-by-URL-in-new-Markdown-Jira-editor/qaq-p/1126329

Original answer for old Jira markup:

You can include an image in wiki markup.  The syntax is like this:

![some alt text](http://www.example.com/path/image.jpg)

 For other related information about wiki markup you can check the documentation here https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax

I can't get it to work in my Structure like this:

IF(itemtype = 'folder' and search("Fehler (Neu)"; summary) and issue > 0;; itemtype = 'folder' and search("Ideen (Neu)"; summary) and issue >= 5;"{panel:bgColor=#C70039}{color:white}STAU{color}{panel}"; itemtype = 'folder' and search("Backlog (PRIO)"; summary) and issue > 0;"{panel:bgColor=#ADFF2F}PRIO{panel}"; itemtype = 'folder' and search("Backlog (PRIO)"; summary) and issue >= 10;"{panel:bgColor=#C70039}{color:white}PRIO-STAU{color}{panel}")

Hi Jochen,

All wiki markup is a string to be parsed.  You simply need to quote the value, so this:


becomes

""

Apologies for not mentioning that.

Also it looks like you are still using my example link.  That does not link to a real image so you will probably want to use your confluence URL instead of example.com to verify this works.

sorry, it just does not work. But I am also a real layman and may not understand you correctly.
Try it with column, formula and Wiki markup

IF(itemtype = 'folder' and search("Error (New)"; summary) and issue > 0;"")

the resiult in column Ampel:

![some alt text]![some alt text][some alt text](https://confluence.mycompanyname/download/attachments/125151914/trafficrot.jpg)

https is a link and when you run it, the graphic is displayed in a new edge tab...but not in the column...we have structure 6.6

I give up

Or somebody find my mistake...good luck, thanks

Hi

Our problem is probably based on:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/image-attachments-are-not-displayed-inline-in-wiki-renderer-fields-723518199.html

And our security does not want to make any adjustments here. Thank you

Ah...  Good to know. Thanks for sharing this update with the community, @Jochen Berdi.

Hi, @Jochen Berdi. I think it would be easier to help you diagnose the issue if we could take a look at your entire formula. Will you share your formula with us here? 

If you prefer, you can contact the ALM Works support team for assistance via support@almworks.com

Hi Dave,

we have a column Ampel in our structure (first picture support.jpg). It currently contains the following formula:
IF(itemtype = 'folder' and search("Fehler (Neu)"; summary) and issue > 0;"{panel:bgColor=#C70039}{color:white}BUGS{color}{panel}";itemtype = 'folder' and search("Requirement (New)"; summary) and issue < 5;"{panel:bgColor=#ADFF2F}IDEE{panel}";
itemtype = 'folder' and search("Ideas (New)"; summary) and issue >= 5;"{panel:bgColor=#C70039}{color:white}STAU{color}{panel}";
itemtype = 'folder' and search("Backlog (PRIO)"; summary) and issue > 0;"{panel:bgColor=#ADFF2F}PRIO{panel}";
itemtype = 'folder' and search("Backlog (PRIO)"; summary) and issue >= 10;"{panel:bgColor=#C70039}{color:white}PRIO-STAU{color}{panel}")

The Issue query checks the value in the Issues column (number).

Now we want to replace the part panel by calling an image and I don't know how to do that. The image is on a Confluence page as an attachment and has the link (company address changed to example): https://confluence.example.com/download/attachments/125151914/trafficgreen.gif?api=v2

What must be after the IF conditions, so that the GIF file is displayed. The column Ampel is defined as Wiki Markup...IF(itemtype = 'folder' and search("Error (New)"; summary) and issue > 0; ????here we need help????
