paths with tilde (~) returning 404

mun yung kan asked on March 14, 2016 10:16

Hi Guys,

i'm trying to get attachments from my page, namely the MenuItemTeaserImage.

i'm basically using CMS.DocumentEngine.AttachmentURLProvider.GetAttachmentUrl(imageGuid, nodeAlias)

it returns a path with the tilde (~) at the front, but any requests with a tilde in the url basically returns a 404. remove the tilde, and the image renders just fine

anyone else got advise? i've followed instructions from here, but noticed the article is kind of old as i am using kentico 9 currently.

tilde

Hi,

You need to use URLHelper.ResolveUrl method which converts relative URL to absolute

I've run into issues with the ~ as well. Often time i just do a .replace("~","") to make sure it's gone, but i'm hoping someone else will chime in with a possibly better alternative.

I've had this issue with upgrading to version 9.x and installing new sites in 9.x. The article you referenced mun yung kan will resolve your issue, even for version 9.

Hey brenden,

i've followed all the steps in the article (except step 2, the class doesnt seem to exist in version 9).

i'm still getting errors with the tilde character, i'll just remove the tilde from the paths for now, but i'd still love to be able to solve this one.

mun yung kan, step 2 isn't needed in v8 or v9. Also make sure the references in step 4 are correct for v8 and v9 (easiest to copy from a fresh install of v8 or v9). I just went through it this evening with a site and had no issues.
