Is there any solution to get the full file path of a just uploaded image in the backend?

I need to paste the image url in afterCreate() When I use $image->getPath() I get the follow error: "Call to a member function getPath() on a non-object"

If i try $request->file('featured_image') give me also the "Call to a member function file() on a non-object"

I try also Input::file('featured_image')->getRealPath() what give me also "Call to a member function getRealPath() on a non-object"

Is there any way to get the full file path of a just uploaded image in the backend?

Have you solved this case? I feel crazy because of it.

Please tell me if you have solved this.

What exactly are you planning to do? If you use the mediamanager, it will store a string in the database, instead of using the filesystem. I'm guessing right now, but in the afterSave method you can reference this and do something with it.

Remember, you need to edit your database for this!

I'm planning to get the dominant color of picture using this package https://github.com/ksubileau/color-thief-php. I can do that in front end. Because I can get the full path of it. But, in backend, I tried many ways and still can't.

It seems easy to do that using mediafinder. But, I have a few question:

1. Is it possible to do in front end too?
2. Is it possible to use getThumb method to resize the image from mediafinder? Like when I used System\Models\File.

Mediafinder stores the image as a string. As far as I know it is not possible to perform these methods as they belong to the file model.

I'll try and see if I can get it to work.

What I've found out so far:

Fact: $this->image->getPath() works if there is already an image present.

Say: If you first save the image WITHOUT the afterSave method. This will successfully save the image to the filesystem. After you have done this, you can add the afterSave method again. If you execute $this->image->getPath it will return the path of the image.

Will keep you updated about any progress. Might be a bug, who knows...

So, when I should save the image? beforeCreate?

I'm not sure. What you can do is implement media finder instead of the file system. That does work.

I can access the image if I use media finder. In the afterSave method, $this->image returns something like /image.png. If you prepend www.yourwebsite.tld/storage/app/media you can access the image from anywhere.

Maybe @daftspunk reads this sometime in the future and explain why the file system way doesn't work.

Hope this helps.

Hello, how do I have a similar problem like I can save the image url to a table that I create with the builder and tried everything but I can not find a solution

Config::get('cms.storage.uploads.path')
if the file is uploaded via media manager use
Config::get('cms.storage.media.path')
If u want the url use the url(somePath) helper

For exemple in one of my Model

    /**
     * get media base URL
     *
     * @return string
     **/
    public function getMediaURLAttribute()
    {
        $baseUrl = url(Config::get('cms.storage.media.path'));        
        return $baseUrl;
    }

Use \System\Classes\MediaLibrary::url( ... )
