Field options are changed by accident during image (from field) display

[Alexander Obuhovich]

Each In-Portal's database table field, that allows image upload to be performed is described with a set of upload-specific options in associated database table unit config file.

'Fields' => Array (

'Logo' => Array (

'type' => 'string',

'formatter' => 'kUploadFormatter',

'upload_dir' => IMAGES_PATH.'manufacturers/',

'file_types' => '*.jpg;*.gif;*.png', 'files_description' => '!la_hint_ImageFiles!',

'multiple' => false, 'thumb_format' => 'resize:100x100',

'max_len' => 255, 'not_null' => 1, 'default' => ''

),

),

There is also a rarely used option called "direct_links", that is turned off by default.

When this option:

• is turned on, then path to image is shown to user (in url to that image), e.g. http://www.website.tld/system/images/manufacturers/image_filename.jpg
• is turned off then path is totally hidden and intermediate In-Portal's event OnViewFile is used to display an image: http://www.website.tld/index.php?env=-page_template_here:m0--1--s-1:manuf-0---OnViewFile-t1&field=Logo&file=619339.jpg

So if you don't want to disclose actual location of file, then you'd probably with that option to be turned off (that is by default).

However, when you're trying to use 1 field to display any 2+ images not stored in that field:

$object->SetDBField('Logo', 'image1.jpg');

$url_one = $object->GetField('Logo', 'full_url');

$object->SetDBField('Logo', 'image2.jpg');

$url_two = $object->GetField('Logo', 'full_url');

then $url_one will have link with OnViewFile event, but $url_two will have direct link to an image.

That's a bug, since direct_link option is changed in the middle by mistake.

Task: http://tracker.in-portal.org/view.php?id=1112

Ready for testing.

very interesting to be able to hide image path!

how do we use this direct_link function in tpl, and where do we turn it on/off ?

As I said it's turned off by default.

Tag <inp2:prefix_Field name="ImageField" format="full_url"/> should do that.

But since we usually resize images before displaying by using <inp2:prefix_Field name="ImageField" format="resize:100x120"/>, then direct link to resized image in "resized" folder is created anyway.

as far as it let be understood, "full_url" will show the path, right?

resized images can't benefit of this function then?

Yes, url to an image.

Nope.

and what's the parameter to have "obfuscated" link?

[Alexander Obuhovich]

I've already mentioned it in my original post. And it's field option, not a parameter, that can be specified in tag.

[Phil -- wbtc.fr --]

format="direct_links" ?

[Alexander Obuhovich]

Nope as I told, "direct_links" is field option, that written only in *_config.php files. You can't tell whatever to use it or not from template (I'm writing 3rd time about it already).

ok, thanks !
