Images not showing in published Tableau dashboard when using url actions
Good day,
I created a simple url action that downloads an image when you click on the name. I have a dashbaord with two sheets and a webpage in between. The first sheet displays statistics for a specific name. The second sheet is a table of names used as a filter to control which statistics and web pages are shown. A web page is an image link that displays an image that matches the name. I am using a url action that pulls the full image link from the data file.
When I create a control panel on my own computer, the images appear without issue. However, when I posted online via Tableau Public, the images are not displayed. I don't get an "X" or "image not found" error, just a blank white square.
It is related to the version I am using (Tableau 8.2 Public Professional Edition) or there is another issue that I do not understand.
Any advice would be most highly appreciated.
Greetings.
Floor

It looks like it is an issue with embedding unsafe ( http ) urls in a site with https (posting to public scripts https :. // public.tableausoftware.com)
I created a calculated field that changes the value of your url:
http://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/abomasnow.jpg
to
https://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/abomasnow.jpg
You can see the cutout in the book, this: replace([Img], "http", "https")
