URL of Attachment Icon

Justin Hugelen-Padin asked on December 22, 2014 17:07

Hello,

I'm trying to get the url of an attachment icon in a transformation. In Kentico 7 I previously used GetAttachmentIconUrl(Eval("AttachmentExtension"), "List"), however in Kentico 8 this has been deprecated and I can't seem to get GetAttachmentIcon to work. Any suggestions on how I can get the attachment icon url?

Thanks! Justin

May be nested double quotes are causing the causing the problem, can you try, please note I have changed some of double quotes to single quotes.

<img src='<%# GetAttachmentIcon("AttachmentGUID") %>' alt='<%# Eval("AttachmentName",true) %>' />

Hello Justin!

If you are just trying to display the icon of an attachment GetAttachmentIcon is the proper method to use. Could you check your source and see if it is generating something like:

Check out the API changes documentation. It shows in there the slight changes for this method. Should help resolve your issue.

Timothy,

I don't know why I didn't check it before, but the html is getting all mangled. This is the output that I'm getting:

<img class="icon-file-pdf icon-file-default" true"="" src="<i aria-hidden="> " alt="Kiswahilil-milk-quality-guide-A4.pdf" />

This is my code: <img src="<%# GetAttachmentIcon("AttachmentGUID") %>" alt="<%# Eval("AttachmentName",true) %>" />

Thank you for that Justin,

try just using <%# GetAttachmentIcon("AttachmentGUID") %> without putting it in the img tag. GetAttachmentIcon is now CSS-based so it will need to be handled ( if it isn't already ) within a css file!

Hope this helps

I took it out of the img tag and the output is: <i aria-hidden="true" class="icon-file-pdf icon-file-default">

Still not showing up. Where is it referencing the pdf icon from?

It is referencing the icon-file-pdf in ~/App_Themes/Global/Skin.css

Can't seem to locate it, but I'll do some more research a little later and update this thread with my results. Thanks for the help!
