image httpUrl not woring in multi-instance

[Gideon So]

Hi,

I tried multi-instance and found that I cannot load image from other installation with $image->httpUrl.

<?php $site = new ProcessWire('/path/to/the/site/','url.of.the.site');  echo  $site->pages->get(pageid)->imagefield->httpUrl; ?>

This return nothing.

<?php $site = new ProcessWire('/path/to/the/site/','url.of.the.site');  echo  $site->pages->get(pageid)->imagefield->url; ?>

This only return the page path like site/assets/files/pageid/

I am using PW 3.0.33

Any ideas??

Is imagefield set to return a single image? This looks like you're accessing the data from a Pagefiles object. In that, case, this should work:

echo  $site->pages->get(pageid)->imagefield->first()->httpUrl;

Hi BitPoet,

Yes. The limit to this field is 1. So I think my syntax is right.

Are you passing the full URL to the constructor, i.e. something like "http://yourhost/yourpath/"? If yes, is the formatted value of the field still set to "Automatic"?

Hi,

Yes. You can see it $site = new ProcessWire('/path/to/the/site/','url.of.the.site');

I tried to set the field both automatic and one.

By the way  $site->pages->get(pageid)->httpUrl works.

Hi Bitpoet,

Eventually you are right. In multi-instance environment, you need to call the first object even the limit of the image filed is set to 1.

Maybe this is a bug in multi-instance support.

I think this might not be a bug, but even intended. It seems pages are returned without output formatting being enabled, which results in the behaviour you're seeing. Iirc bootstrapping processwire will do the same, but I'm not 100% certain on that. 

If you want your field settings to be respected call ->setOutputFormatting(true) on the page obj.

It does.

Hi LostKobrakai,

It works as expected. Hope this thread help someone in the future.

Big thanks to you two.
