Inserting images via keyref - dialog requires Subtopic ID?
Hi there, I'm fairly new to oXygen, using v15.2. I'm having an issue trying to insert images that are referenced by keyref in a ditamap. If I insert the keyref in code view, the image appears fine, i.e. <image keyref="image-ref-keyname"> However, if I try to insert using the Insert Content Key Reference dialog, another dialog appears saying "Please select an element ID by pressing the Subtopic button". When I click the Subtopic button, no IDs appear. Is this expected behavior, or am I missing something? Thanks, Ed.
Hi Ed, The "Insert a DITA Content Key Reference" action is used to insert a content key reference (the @conkeyref attribute). What you actually need is to insert a simple <image> with a @keyref attribute. Basically if in the DITA Map you add a reference to an image:
<topicref href="images/Gerbera.jpg" format="jpg" keys="gerbera"/>
Then in a DITA topic you can use the "Key Reference" action (available on the toolbar on a link drop down button) to insert an image with a reference to that key and it worked for me. I chose the referenced key in the table, I chose the name of the element which needs to be inserted (<image> in this case) and then pressed the "Insert and close" button. Please see the attached screenshot. Regards, Radu Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com On 5/13/2014 11:11 PM, Marsh, Ed wrote:

Hi Ed, One more way to insert the image with keyref would be to drag the image topicref from the DITA Maps Manager and drop it in the DITA topic opened in the Author visual editing mode. Oxygen will detect you already have a key defined for that reference and will automatically insert an image with @keyref.
