Problem with GetMedia

Hi All

I am using Umbraco 4.0.2.1. And in my XSLT file I add following code

<img>

<xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($imageId, 'true')" /> </xsl:attribute>

</img>

However when I see it from page source, it adds extra staff into the image URL like:

http://www.mydomain.com/media/21850/testImage.jpg24324416926jpg

Can anyone help me how to solve this problem?

Thank you

Hi,

Try changing the true value to false i.e. umbraco.library:GetMedia($imageId, 'false')

If that doesn't work can you post the complete XSLT

Cheers

Paul

Hi Jing,

The extra stuff you get is because GetMedia() returns an XML node - not just a string.

You should search the forum for "GetMedia" and "XSLT", as there are actually 1 or 2 answers given for this every week.

Media nodes are slightly more confusing that normal nodes but this is what you actually need to do to get the source file path:
```
umbraco.library:GetMedia(@id, 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']
```
The following post by Lee Kelleher on his blog should provide more detail on the subject:
