Hyperlink/Picture Column suddenly breaks external images in Gallery/Card Designer
We use a Flow with an API connection to grab image links from an external vendor and populate that data to the Hyperlink or Picture column of a SharePoint list. We then add JSON formatting to display the image links in a Gallery view. The Hyperlink or Picture Column is set to display as Picture. The external images still display fine in the list item view, just not the Gallery/Card view. This was working fine for several months, but something seems to have changed over the last weekend, causing externally linked images in Picture/Hyperlink Columns to break. I setup a simple test list to display this behavior using a public domain image. External Image link: https://www.publicdomainpictures.net/pictures/20000/velka/computer-memory-chips.jpg Internal Image link: https://[mydomain].sharepoint.com/sites/WebDev/SiteAssets/Lists/[LIST-ID/computer-memory-chips.jpg Here is an All Items List View sample: Here is a Gallery/Card Designer View sample of the same list: No JSON used in these examples, just the default Gallery / Card Designer: I've experimented with the Image column, which doesn't seem to exhibit this issue, but unfortunately that column is not available in the Create Items step of the Flow so I assume it cannot be dynamically populated.
User photo showing up everywhere but SharePoint user profle
Hello. I'm aware there're many threads about SharePoint user profile pictures not showing in different ways. We've been facing an issue which I couldn't find a solution nor fix it myself. We're using Exchange Online and set user profile photos with a scheduled PowerShell script via Set-UserPhoto. This works as intended and the photo is showing everywhere, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online, Delve etc. The only place where it doesn't show is in the SharePoint user profile service's user profile. You know, the /_layouts/15/tenantprofileadmin/ProfAdminEdit.aspx in the SharePoint admin center. The mysite collection where these pictures are supposed to be hosted contain the LThumb, MThumb and SThumb thumbnail placeholders but not the actual photos. As far as I understand the logic is that when using EXO a user has to browse his Delve profile page which will trigger a sync to the SharePoint user profile - not so for us. I've experimented with the two settings that should have an effect on this sync mechanism: - SPS-PictureExchangeSyncState - SPS-PicturePlaceholderState As far as I interpret those settings SPS-PictureExchangeSyncState means that unless this is enabled not photos can be pulled from EXO and an admin has to manually upload a photo in the user profile service. SPS-PicturePlaceholderState I think indicates whether or not a picture has been set if it's 0 and set if it's 1 but I'm not sure if it's the other way around. Anyway, apart from manually setting the picture here it's not pulling from EXO. If anyone knows anything I'd appreciate your comments. Thanks.SharePoint Picture Library Stopped Showing Photos
On our SharePoint tenant, SharePoint has stopped showing the photos that are in Picture Libraries. This is across all of our SharePoints and applies only to the images in a Picture Library as far as I can tell. Page banners, site icons, images in Pages all still display just fine. This is in any browser: Chrome, IE, Edge.
