Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks again! Indeed
\defineexpandable\authorpicture{hacker.jpg}
solves the problem in the simplified case I was reporting.
However in the real case, the file « hacker.jpg » is in fact a file
which depends on other variables, and when I include \defineexpandable
in the \getvariable environment then it does not work anymore: saying
\defineexpandable\authorpicture{\getvariable{talk}{picture}}
or
\defineexpandable\authorpicture{\expanded{\getvariable{talk}{picture}}}
or
\defineexpandable\authorpicture{\expandafter\getvariable{talk}{picture}}
does not solve the problem.
Below is a minimal example showing the issue (with what you taught me
last week…).
Best regards: OK
\starttext
\startbuffer[pagetalk]
\starttabulate[|f{\bi}l|p|][before=]%
\NC Speaker \EQ \getvariable{talk}{speakerfirstname} {\sc
\getvariable{talk}{speakername}}
\NC\NR
\NC Title \EQ \getvariable{talk}{title} \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\defineexpandable\authorpicture{\getvariable{talk}{picture}}
\placefigure[here][]{}
{\externalfigure[\authorpicture]}
You can put the \getvariable command in \externalfigure.
\startplacefigure[location=here]
\externalfigure[\getvariable{talk}{picture}]
\stopplacefigure
\page
\stopbuffer
\setvariable{talk}{set}{\getbuffer[pagetalk]}
\setvariables[talk]%
[speakername={Hacker},
title={Up to date hacking},
picture=hacker.jpg
]
You’re missing a coma after “picture=hacker.jpg” which results in “jpeg ”
(which a space at the end) as file extension for the image.
Wolfgang
