GetMedia problem

Hi

Got a starnge problem (to me) that hopefully one of you fine chaps can solve for me.
I have a macro that I copied from a 3 installation and modified it (hopefully correctly) to be used in 4.5.2.

When the macro runs, the getmedia filename ouput has a string appended to it and the image cannot be found in the html..

Code is

      <xsl:if test="string-length(/macro/Image) > 0">
        <div id="InfoBoxImage" style="background-color:#F0F0F0;width:223px;">
          <xsl:if test="string-length(/macro/ImageURL) > 0">
            <a href="{/macro/ImageURL}">
              <img style="width: 223px; height: 100px;">
                <xsl:attribute name="src">
                  <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($MediaID, 0)" />
                </xsl:attribute>
                <xsl:attribute name="title">
                  <xsl:value-of select="/macro/title" />
                </xsl:attribute>
              </img>
            </a>
          </xsl:if>

And the view source of the webpage shows the png filename as

src="/media/22/fw_new_callout_01.png223557543png"

Its the 223557543png bit that is appended (which is the concatenated width/height/size/type of the image).

How do I prevent that happening?

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave,

You should change your GetMedia call to the following
```
                <xsl:attribute name="src">
                  <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($MediaID, 0)/umbracoFile" />
                </xsl:attribute>
```
Right now you are grabbing the entire Media XML with GetMedia, which includes umbracoBytes and umbracoExt (the two strings you see at the end of your file). You should just grab the umbracoFile element in this case

Hope this helps,
Tom

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure what your code is doing and where '$MediaID' is coming from.

However if /macro/image is a image picker then try this:

 <xsl:variable name="mediaId" select="number(/macro/Image)" />
    <xsl:if test="$mediaId > 0">
        <xsl:variable name="mediaNode" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaId, 0)" />
        <xsl:if test="$mediaNode/umbracoFile">
            <img src="{$mediaNode/umbracoFile}" height="{umbracoHeight}" width="{umbracoWidth}" />
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:if>
