GetMedia gives me a relative url and I need an absolute one
Hello everyone.

I'm new to Umbraco and i've setup a fresh 4.5 installation today. I use the new XSLT schema.

I'm trying to get the path from an image stored in the media library.

So far i've got the path using this :
```
  <xsl:variable name="mediaNode" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaNodeId, 'false')" />
  <img src="{$mediaNode/*/umbracoFile}" />
```
The url given back to me looks like this :
```
~/media/121/image.png
```
The path is good but I can't find a way to resolve the full url of the image in order to get a path like :
```
/umbracoinstallationdirectory/media/121/image.png
```
I'd be grateful if someone had an idea on how to do this.

Thanks.

I think you should try Umbraco 4.5.1 which was released today: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/48015

First thank you for the answer.

It's true that the updates says it solves the issue but I can't get the update work correctly.

Is there a recommended way to apply the update on an existing installation without breaking the site ?

Hi John,

Just a reminder that yesterdays release was a beta (v4.5.1-beta) ... the official v4.5.1 release should be tomorrow (or early next week).

If you want to go ahead with upgrading to the beta, then here's how I did it yesterday.

Download the beta zip, extract it. Copy the following folders over your existing v.4.5.0 site: /bin, /install, /umbraco, /umbraco_client

Then in your web-browser, go to: yourdomain.com/install - to run the upgrade script ... I don't think there are any database changes in this beta, but not sure - always better to run the install/upgrade script.

Good luck, Lee.

Hi Lee,

As am not in a hurry i'll wait the final version before patching.

Thank you for giving me the steps to follow for the upgrade.

See you.
