    How to get the image URL from CDATA section

    Hey,

    I insert a image into the Richtext Editor(alias: articleContents), after I published the article, in umbraco.config file, the XML node like this: 

    <articleContents><![CDATA[<p>some text</p><p><img src="/media/9486/201212111646332278_500x328.jpg"  width="500"  height="328" alt="201212111646332278"/></p><p>some text</p>]]></articleContents>

    Now, I only need to display the picture and ignore the text, so I have to get the image URL.

    Because the image isn't uploaded by the upload picker, I can't using umbraco.library:GetMedia() to get the image URL.  How to get the image URL from CDATA section? Thank you!

    Hi Doing1024 and welcome to our :)

    Is there any specific reason why you want to fetch the image only from at rich text editor? Why don't you just use a media picker? What is your use case for doing it like mentioned above?

    If you want to do it the hard way I think you can benefit from reading through this article by Chriztian Steinmeier http://pimpmyxslt.com/articles/wysiwyg/ - This sound like the thing you're after. But I'm still curious as to why you want to do it that way :)

    Hi, Jan, Thank you for your help. It works! Actually, when a writer inserts a image into RichTtext Editor, I need to fetch the image and show it in the photo slider like this:

    For website visitors, they can visit the article page by clicking on the photo slider. If I use a media picker in the backoffice, the writer will feel confused. They have to point the article preview photo after they already inserted the photo in RichText Editor. I just want to make it easy and quick for the writer.

    Thank you for your help again and Happy New Year 2013!

    Hi doing1024

    I agree that the less the editor needs to worry about the better - from what you describe above this seems like a very elegant solution :)

    Remember to mark the post as solved so others can quickly go to the post with the solution.

    Happy new year to you as well and happy umbracoing :)

    /Jan
