Is there any solution for getting the full file paths in the backend?

I try in Ocotbercms to get the full image url in the backend.

In need in the backend the full file path of a uploaded image so I can used the image url in afterCreate().
My model:

<?php 
namespace name\pluginname\Models;

use Model;
use DB;
use Validator; 

/**
 * Post Model
 */
class Post extends Model
{

    public $table = mytable';
    protected $guarded = ['*'];
    public $attachOne = [
    'featured_images' => ['System\Models\File']
    ];

    public function afterCreate()
    {
    $post = Post::find($this->id); 

    if ($post->featured_images)
    $featuredImage = $post->featured_images->ge<wbr ></wbr><wbr ></wbr>tPath();
    else
    $featuredImage = 'http://placehold.it/220x3<wbr ></wbr><wbr ></wbr>00';

    traceLog('image url: '. $featuredImage);

    }

}

Open in new window


The var $featuredImage has always the placeholder image because $post->featured_images is empty. I do something wrong but I realy don't see what I do wrong...

I know very little (to nothing) of PHP but your solution should be in the $_SERVER.
Inspect it and you should find what you need.

I have never heard of Ocotbercms, but the code looks like PHP.  You can find the complete URL of the existing script with something like this.
$url = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

Open in new window

The path to the current working directory is available in getcwd().

To learn a bit more about what $post contains, you might want to do something like this:
/* Other Code */
$post = Post::find($this->id);
ob_start();
var_dump($post);
$msg = ob_get_clean();
tracelog('post: ' . $msg);

Please post a link to the documentation that describes how to upload images, thanks.

First maybe good to know Octobercms is build on top of Laravel.
The upload function use a widget form and the form field are set in a yaml file, https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/forms#widget-fileupload. The upload part of the YAML file like:
featured_images:
            tab: Publiceren
            label: Uitgelichte afbeelding
            type: fileupload
            mode: image
            imageWidth: 948
            imageHeight: 248

Open in new window


The part about attachments you can find here: https://octobercms.com/docs/database/model#file-attachments

Deferred binding is the relationship between the image and the post and will generated automaticly in the backend (where I add the image is the backend). https://octobercms.com/docs/database/model#deferred-binding

So far I know is this all documentation to upload a image.

To be more clear what happens. The image wil be uploaded and the orginal en new filename wil be saved in de system_files table. Only in that table is not set the whole path to the file.

When I run the follow code:
example code form: https://octobercms.com/docs/database/model#attachments-usage-example
// Find the Blog Post model again
$post = Post::find($this->id); 

// Look for the featured image address, otherwise use a default one
if ($post->featured_images)
    $featuredImage = $post->featured_images->ge<wbr ></wbr>t->Path();<wbr ></wbr>
else
    $featuredImage = 'http://placehold.it/220x3<wbr ></wbr><wbr ></wbr>00';

<img src="<?= $featuredImage ?>" alt="Featured Image">

Open in new window


I get always the placeholder image. This is because 
$post->featured_images

Open in new window

is empty. In the database of the blog is the field featured_images also empty so the system don't write anything to that field.

I hope is have explain things clear....

Yes, I thought I recognized some of the Eloquent ORM in that code!  Let me look at it a bit more.

Yeah, it would be worth a try.  The three-tier fragment name is an "interesting" directory design.

So far I see is this the most easy way to do this right now. I did not know that they create this way the directory structure....
