Hi Michael,

What version of Umbraco are you using? It looks like you're using the old xslt syntax. Try this, which should work with the new xml format that Umbraco uses:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1119,'false')/umbracoFile"/>

Cheers,

David

Hi David

Thank you for that.

I am using version 4.7.1.1

Your fix above is now returning something which looks more like a proper URL.  I am now getting: ~/media/64/serviceimage1.jpg

I just did the following:

<xsl:variable name="url" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1119,'false')/umbracoFile"/>

<img src="{$url}" />

And it throws an error! 

The relative virtual path '="' is not allowed here

Any ideas?

I have done the following to remove the ~

<xsl:variable name="url" select="translate(umbraco.library:GetMedia(serviceThumbnailImage,'false')/umbracoFile, '~', '')"/>

Surely I am working around the issue here though ?  Whats the correct way of doing it ?

Thanks!

Probably not much help, but it looks to me like you are doing it correctly. I haven't seen that tilde issue before. I'm using the following:

<xsl:variable name="image" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(image, 'false')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$image/umbracoFile"/>

I've also tried it like this:

<xsl:variable name="url" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentItem/image, 'false')/umbracoFile"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$url"/>

And the output for both is

/media/3212/slide-1.jpg

Which is as expected, i.e. without the tilde.

I'm not sure what could be causing this. Are you running your site in IIS at the moment? Or just hitting F5 in Visual Studio? I'm clutching at straws ;)

• media/3206/slide-1.jpg

• media/3206/slide-1.jpg

Its running under IIS...

Thanks for your help.  I seem to have a habit at attracting issues no one else has at the moment :D

Anyway this workaround should get me moving on but if anyone else has any idea then please le me know.

Thanks for your help David
