getattachment extensionless urls

Dennis Hulsmans asked on May 12, 2016 09:48

I'm having issues with a project, configured to use extensionless urls (as documented on K9 extensionless urls ).
It's only 1 project, other projects don't have this issue.
When I use "getfileurl" or "getimage" in a transformation I get urls like this:

<div class="image" style="background-image: url('/getattachment/43955191-ffd4-435b-b60a-a47864cdfe1b/')"></div>

Note the following: getattachment/guid/NO_FILENAME .

When I add an extension in the settings of this project it renders this: getattachment/guid/.aspx without the filename. I've tried everything, but I'm unable to pin point the cause of this issue.
Project has hotfix 14 (the other projects have the same update)

Any thoughts on this?

thx!

Found the solution: if you use the columns field to select some columns, you'll have to include NodeAlias too. NodeAlias is used by GetImage or GetFileUrl

see K9 documentation on loading data efficiently

Hi,

Is there any reason that you are using permanent urls. I don't prefer using it. I prefer not to have permanent links for my images and rather prefer to have their uploaded urls from the library which are something like /media/sitename/hellp.png

And I also keep "Friendly URL extensions" & "Files friendly URL extension" empty.

I have attached two screens shots. give it a try.

Hi Chetan,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm not using permanent urls. My settings are the same as yours (in the screenshot).
I'm not sure what's causing this in this project.

Please check you don't force trailing slash in your urls (Settings -> URLs and SEO) since there was bug in your hotfix.

Also, I recommend to build the url manually due to performance. You wouldn't call another method like GetFileUrl and the file name isn't mandatory:

~/getattachment/{%FileFieldThatREturnsAttachmentGUID%}/file(.aspx) or ~/getattachment/{%FileFieldThatREturnsAttachmentGUID%}/{%DocumentName%}(.aspx)

or its ASCX version.

Thanks Jan, that was spot on. I missed that point.

You might also try
