Vichuploaderbundle: Absolute URL to File

[dustin10]

Implement a way to get an absolute URL to a file.

[gchokeen]

Yes this is obsoletely required. vich_uploader_asset functions this option. Is there anyway to do this !

In a controller, you can just prepend this string:
$baseUrl = $this->getRequest()->getScheme() . '://' . $this->getRequest()->getHttpHost() . $this->getRequest()->getBasePath();
If you need it in a template, it's just the same, using app.request of course

[gchokeen]

So how to use in twig template

{{ vich_uploader_asset(entity, 'file_name') }}

Can i prepend app.request with above. I tried that throws error

[Dexter0015]

try this :
{{ app.request.basePath }} {{ vich_uploader_asset(entity, 'file_name') }}

[garak]

As I told before, it's:
{{ app.request.scheme }}://{{ app.request.httpHost ~ app.request.basePath ~ vich_uploader_asset(entity, 'file_name') }}

[patrickli]

even easier, like this

{{ app.request.getUriForPath(vich_uploader_asset(entity, 'file_name')) }}

I think vich_uploader_asset should generate url with base path. @dustin10 can you fix it please?

[dustin10]

I no longer maintain this bundle so I will not be fixing it. It should probably abstracted out through the StorageInterface because if you are using Gaufrette or something else then your images may be on Amazon servers or something and not in your application domain.

using request object like {{ app.request.scheme }}://{{ app.request.httpHost }} is not a general solution, because request is not available in all cases (eg. console commands).

I suppose we can add / expose a parameter for each mapping, smth like "base_url", and use it to generate absolute url to file in resolveUri method:

    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public function resolveUri($obj, $mapping, $className = null, $absolute = false)
    {
        //...
        $path = $mapping->getUriPrefix() . '/' . $mapping->getUploadDir($obj) . $filename;

        if ($absolute) {
            $path = $mapping->getBaseUrl() . $path;
        }

        return $path;
    }

# app/config/config.yml
vich_uploader:
    db_driver: orm

    mappings:
        product_image:
            base_url:          http://example.com
            uri_prefix:         /images/products
            upload_destination: %kernel.root_dir%/../web/images/products

[smilesrg]

@mgoria if you need to use request scheme or http host in command line, you should configure it. See How to Generate URLs and Send Emails from the Console Define base urls for every mapping is not a good idea

[K-Phoen]

Right now you can define an absolute uri_prefix:

vich_uploader:
    db_driver: orm

    mappings:
        product_image:
            uri_prefix:         http://example.com/images/products
            upload_destination: %kernel.root_dir%/../web/images/products

Not sure if we need something more complex as it even covers the case of Amazon S3

@patrickli thanks, {{ app.request.getUriForPath(vich_uploader_asset(entity, 'file_name')) }} this is perfect

[TomaszKotlarek]

# app/config/config.yml
framework:
    assets:
        base_urls: ['http://example.com']

{# template.twig.html #}
{{ asset(vich_uploader_asset(event, 'fileLogo')) }}

That gives me http://example.com/path/to/asset/0123_456.jpg

[RafalJaworski]

what about {{ asset(vich_uploader_asset(image, 'imageFile')) }} ...this work for me ;-)

[befabry]

@RafalJaworski Thanks. Works like a charm for me.

Hello, for me, when I use this line for generate fiel URL download, if I click on the URL, I've a new tab with what my file contains ( txt, jpg, but if it's a .xsl by example, I've an error).

Bonjour, quand je me sers de cette ligne pour générer le téléchargement d’URL de champ, si je clique sur l’URL, j’ai un nouvel onglet avec le contenu de mon fichier (txt, jpg, mais si c’est un .xsl par exemple, je v une erreur).
Comment puis-je forcer le téléchargement s'il vous plaît?

You're the best, thanks !

Ok just a question. All is good. But I can't download .php files. For all other types of files it works. A solution ?

For others who had the problem of generating URLs for a file, I modified my own topic to put the changes I made : https://github.com/dustin10/VichUploaderBundle/issues/976
