Hi Charley,

Sorry about that. I realized after my post that I wasn't very clear on 
that point. The generated applications use mapscript to set up the 
query results in the file 
maplab/htdocs/gmapfactory/templates/app_query.phtml so you would have 
to modify the php code there to treat an attribute field containing a 
reference to the jpeg differently (format it as an img tag or a url, 
for instance). If you have already generated your gmapfactory 
application, you can modify the query.phtml file in the project - it is 
just copied from the gmapfactory app_query.phtml file when you start a 
project.

GMapfactory doesn't support this kind of customization so you are going 
to have to do some digging in the mapscript and php documentation to 
figure this out.
