Hi! I want to use a nice Template column in my Glide sheet to have a lovely image appear. I have a Cloudinary account and am having great fun (now) manipulating images. BUT I am a bit stuck trying to combine together two images when one or both are external (i.e. needing to use Fetch). For instanc…

I see that there are some threads on base64 encoding (I started from ‘cloudinary’ and am figuring this out in real time). Ideas for Base64Encode of images - #7 by John_Cabrera Some things to try, nothing that easy. I might need to rethink my approach!

I’m no expert on cloudinary, but there are several threads by @Robert_Petitto and @Krivo explaining some of it and their use of cloudinary’s fetch command. I’m not sure if it need base64 encoding, or just url encoding, but the Construct URL column will do url encoding I believe.

@Mark_Turrell If you create a google script then you can base64 encode the url to fetch. I put in a function for you to use in a google script function Encode64ForMe (url) { var encodedVar = Utilities.base64EncodeWebSafe(url,Utilities.Charset.UTF_8); return encodedVar; } In you…

@ThinhDinh That’s is a crazy formula! Do you think it would be possible in Glide sheet - and would you need Google sheets?

Still needs Google Sheets for this, but hopefully we get a base64 encoding column some time in the future, to combine it with the new URL generator column.

@ThinhDinh That would be nice - wondering when as I suppose core Glide functionality would be first.
