Toolkit - show image file

The CMS Questions
1

Hello,
little code, big problems. :grin:
I want to open documents and images in a blank page using only Toolkit.

f::show($file_path);

works great with document (e.g. PDF), but not with images (nothing appears).
I also tried something like:

$img = New Media($image_path);
header::type(f::mime($image_path));
echo $img->read();

Same result.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

The media constructor takes two arguments, root and URL…

Ok, thank you!
But why this works:

$img = New Media($root,$url);
echo $img->html();

And this not?

$img = New Media($root,$url);
header::type(f::mime($root));
echo $img->read();

Are you trying this at the top of a blank page before any other code? Because this should work:

<?php
$img = new Media($root, $url);

$img->header();

echo $img->read();
?>

But only right before anything else is sent. Instead of using header and read, you can also use show().

Hum,
same result, works with documents, not with images:

This is the entire code of the page:

<?php 
require('bootstrap.php');

$root = ROOT . get('f');
$url = URL . get('f');

if(f::type($root) == 'document'){
	f::show($root); // this works
}else{
	$img = New Media($root,$url); // this not
	$img->show();	
}

Hm, I can’t reproduce this.

What I did:

  • created a new test folder in htdocs (localhost)
  • copied a test image into it
  • installed toolkit as a subfolder
  • in that folder, created an index.php with the following content:
<?php
require('toolkit/bootstrap.php');

$root = '/users/sonja/htdocs/test/test.png';
$url = 'http://localhost/test/test.png';

if(f::type($root) == 'document'){
	f::show($root); // this works
}else{
	$img = New Media($root,$url); // this not
	$img->show();
}

When I open this page, the image is displayed as expected. Hm… :thinking:

Stupid mistake… (as usual :P). URL was wrong.
Now it’s works like a charm and the code can be simplified:

require('toolkit/bootstrap.php');

$root = ROOT . get('f');
f::show($root); // this works with images and documents

Thanks!!
