    TinyMCE media picker UDI data attribute

    Hi folks,

    We were wondering what the purpose of the udi data attribute is on images that are added into TinyMCE, e.g.:

    data-udi="umb://media/7cda1b1dc46c46f9a9d88d2d30f173a7"

    We had assumed that this UDI would keep the image src up to date, when the media item gets updated, or at the very least when the page is published again.

    However that doesn't seem to be the case - the image src attribute never seems to get updated in any of the scenarios we tried.

    Is this a WIP for the future, or are we missing a trick?

    Bonus question - is there a way to force the src attribute URL to use an absolute path rather than a relative one?

    Good question - I was wondering this myself. Unfortunately we'll need someone from the core team to really answer this, so let's hope they might read this!

    Hi Guys,

    I think it's there for the following reason.

    • Insert a image in the RTE
    • Select the image in the RTE
    • Click on the insert image button again. Now you see the correct media item opened. I think that's why the UDI is needed.

    Thanks Dave, that would make a lot of sense.

    Hopefully in the future pipeline we can keep the image sources up to date when things change, such as an image file being replaced.

    Does anyone know how to force those source attributes to be absolute URLs?
