Get the image storage path from a ContentObjectID (php-side)

Get the image storage path from a ContentObjectID (php-side)

Monday 30 January 2006 3:48:47 pm - 4 replies

Hi all,

I'm in a php function and I have the ID of a contentObject which represents an ezImage object. And my problem is that I'd like to know his real storage url but I don't see any simple way to do it, although it shouldn't be so difficult... I mean that when I do:

$myImageObject = eZContentObject :: fetch( 76 );  // where 76 is my contentObjectID
print_r( $myImageObject  );
// displays properties but doesn't display any contained attributes.. don't know why..

// Then I can do:
print_r( $myImageObject->contentObjectAttributes() );
// to display all the object attributes..

Array {
....
    [2] => ezcontentobjectattribute Object
        (
 ...
            [ID] => 266
            [ContentObjectID] => 76
            [Version] => 2
            [LanguageCode] => fre-FR
            [AttributeOriginalID] => 0
            [SortKeyInt] => 0
            [SortKeyString] => 
            [DataTypeString] => ezimage
            [DataText] => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ezimage serial_number="1"
         is_valid="1"
         filename="geek.png"
         suffix="png"
         basename="geek"
         dirpath="var/plain/storage/images/media/images/geek/266-2-fre-FR"
         url="var/plain/storage/images/media/images/geek/266-2-fre-FR/geek.png"
         original_filename="alignement_resultats.png"
         mime_type="image/png"
         width="1155"
         height="217"
         alternative_text=""
         alias_key="1293033771"
         timestamp="1138213887">
  <original attribute_id=""
            attribute_version=""
            attribute_language="" />
</ezimage>

            [DataInt] => 
            [DataFloat] => 0
        )
...
}

// Well, now I can see the storage path in the DataText field but I don't know how to access it easily (without having to parse individually, I'd like a generic method..):

So is there a way to get the image storage url easily? (maybe via ezImage or imageHanler, I didn't manage with the objects tried)

Thanx for your lights,
Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,

Use this code to get image URL

objectWithIMG = eZContentObject::fetch( 171 ); 
 
$dataMap =& $objectWithIMG->attribute( 'data_map' ); 
 
$image =& $dataMap['image']->content(); 
 
$list =& $image->aliasList(); 
 
var_dump( $list['original']['url'] );

Hi guys,

And how do we generate an alias that has not been generated up to the moment of fetching?

For example: I have 20 aliases defined in the website, but the aliasList() method only returns 4 (the underlying XML-base for that method also contains 4 alias entries). How do I force particular alias generation in PHP?

Thanks!

OK, for those interested and also for verification, this seems to work:

<?php
$targetAliasName = 'my_huge_image';
$contentObjectAttributeID = 1234567...;
$contentObjectAttribute = eZContentObjectAttribute::fetch( $contentObjectAttributeID );
$aliasHandler = new eZImageAliasHandler( $contentObjectAttribute );
$myHugeImageAliasData = $aliasHandler->imageAlias( $targetAliasName );
?>

If the alias entry had not existed, seems to be created automatically (provided it had existed in the image.ini declarations). I hope this includes the internal caching layer blunk.gif Emoticon
