  • Upload a specified zip file as a static resource. The zip will have directories with images and you have to display a specific image on a Visualforce page.The page must be named 'ShowImage'.
  • This file must be uploaded as a Static Resource named 'vfimagetest'.
  • The page must have a Visualforce apex:image tag that displays the 'kitten1.jpg' image from the 'cats' directory of the static resource.

Exact text of error:
Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The page does not include a reference to the specified image

Can't figure out whats wrong, everything looks like its working perfectly and I used the examples in the module as a base for the code.

Hmmm, try these 2 things:

try removing show header = false since I don't see that as part of the exercise.
also try removing the first slash in the path.

Here's the revised code.

Thx
  
<apex:page>

<apex:image url="{!URLFOR($Resource.vfimagetest, 'cats/kitten1.jpg')}" />

</apex:page>

Really? 

It was the "/" (I had previously tried with/without the showheader line). That's idiotic. The page had the correct images displayed; that should have been enough.

Hi,
This code is pretty straight forwad, but I got error from developer console, "Static Resource named vfimagetest doesn't exist, Check spelling. it was downloaded by default to Download folder when clicking on "This file" in the Challenge. Did I miss anything?

Thanks.

<apex:page >

</apex:page>

First upload the Zip file vfimagetest to the Static resources in Salesforce Classic view of your developer edition, then the code would work fine.

Hello! I figured out the problem. I forgot to upload the Zip file to my static resources. I checked the challenge and passed! Thanks for you helo!!

You have to Create a Static Resource (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_resources_create.htm). This will allow you to upload the Kitten1 jpeg. and copy use the following language from the few that were listed. Then you will preview, somehow the photo is there, but it's not allowing you to see the full image. Good thing, it's not a blank screen. :-) Save what you have and submit the challenge again.

Thanks a lot !!!

For further clarity to what has already been answered and explained: the Trailhead gives an example that does not work either.  This is why many would have ended up using 'vfimagetest/cats/kitten1.jpg' instead of 'cats/kitten1.jpg'

Hi Everyone,

I tried everything which you guys suggested but still could not complete the challenge
This is my code
<apex:page >
    <apex:image url="{!$Resource.vfimagetest}" width="70" height="70"/>
  </apex:page>

Error is
"The page does not include a reference to the specified image. HINT: The static resource does not require a '/' in the image URL. If you are using this, try removing and check again."
Can anyone help me with this.

I figured out the problem. 
<apex:page >
     <apex:image alt="cats" title="kitten"
                 url="{!URLFOR($Resource.vfimagetest, 'cats/kitten1.jpg')}"/>
</apex:page>

Thanks.

Well thre is a lot of way how to get the kitten1.jpg displayed, but SF has it's own 'way' of accepting the things, most of the cases it is the simplest way, so afterall it is not as bat though, but yes, I am getting frustrated sometimes ; )

Hi Jeevana,
Thank you for your above solution.
I have a doubt how it resolved the issue of "The static resource does not require a '/' in the image URL. If you are using this," in the code.
It will be a great help if you give me a proper explanation.

Thanks and Regards
Shubham
