Hi Gert,

Try something like this:

var media = Umbraco.TypedMedia(mediaId); url = media.UrlAbsolute();

Thanks

Hi Alex,

The line media.UrlAbsolute() throws the following exception:

'Umbraco.Web.Models.PublishedContentBase' does not contain a definition for 'UrlAbsolute'

I am using the following code in a macro partial:

if ( CurrentPage.HasValue(PropertyAliasNames.OpenGraphImage) )
{
    var media = Umbraco.TypedMedia(CurrentPage.OpenGraphImage.Id); 
    imageUrl = media.UrlAbsolute();
    //imageUrl = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute( "~/" + Umbraco.Media( CurrentPage.OpenGraphImage.Id ).Url );
}

The line in comment gives me the relative path, at least on my local host machine. 

Regards,

Gert.

Hi Gert,

Perhaps this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6960105/how-do-i-get-the-absolute-media-file-path-in-umbraco-using-razor from StackOverflow can help you finding a solution to get absolute url for your images.

Hope this can help you a step further.

Hi Dennis,

Yes, your are right, but this is not Umbraco solution, .UrlAbsolute() should work at Umbraco 7.1 - 7.2. Because media.NiceUrlWithDomain() is obsolete.

Thanks, Alexander

Hi Alexander,

I am using Umbraco 7.2.1, then why media.UrlAbsolute() throws the exception?

'Umbraco.Web.Models.PublishedContentBase' does not contain a definition for'UrlAbsolute'

Thanks!

Gert.

Hi Gert,

The issue here could be that you´re mixing the dynamic and strongly typed razor together.

What if you do it like this:

if (CurrentPage.HasValue(PropertyAliasNames.OpenGraphImage) )
{
    var media = Umbraco.Media(CurrentPage.OpenGraphImage.Id); 
    imageUrl = media.UrlAbsolute();
    //imageUrl = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute( "~/" + Umbraco.Media(CurrentPage.OpenGraphImage.Id ).Url );
}

Be aware that I have changed the Umbraco.TypedMedia to just Umbraco.Media which is the dynamic representation.

Hope this helps,

I have the same crash, looks like it's 'AbsoluteUrl is not supported for media types.'. So now we can only use something like told Dennis, and maybe it will work in future releases of Umbraco

Thanks,

Alexander

Hi Dennis,

Same exception.

Gert.

Hi Dennis, that will do the trick! Thanks!

Gert.

Hi to all,

Is there any better solution for Media Absolute URLs today?
