Bug report: ProductImageFileName variable returns differing values.

[NormanRouxel]

Using production release GIKA, demo site database.

If I use

<actinic:variable name="ProductImageFileName" />

in a product layout, then on page preview I get the value

x-sneakers.jpg

whereas the same variable in Standard Product Image layout returns

../x-sneakers.jpg

Norman - I'm having trouble reproducing this. When I put:

<img src="<actinic:variable name="ProductImageFileName" />" />

into my standard product layout and then carried out an offline preview, it became:

<img src="../x-tee-basic.jpg" />

This looks correct to me.

How strange.

If you wanted to send me a snapshot to cdicken at actinic.co.uk I can check it out with your data.

Hi, Chris

What I'm trying to do is get the same value as used for the source of the product image into a product template.

I'm not using

<img src="<actinic:variable name="ProductImageFileName" />" />

but simply e.g.

Hello <actinic:variable name="ProductImageFileName" /> World!

It's in this instance that the "../" bit is missing.

This may not actually be an Actinic bug. Perhaps it's simply the replacement of the src='...' by a relative path to allow the file to be found when Previewing.

However it's a different sort of behaviour from V7 where NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEFILE would include the "../" if used in a product template when Previewing and omit it if live.

Yes you are right - but apparently this is working as designed.

The only thing I can suggest is adding the following code before your variable:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsPreviewMode%22%20%2f%3e">../</actinic:block>

This will insert a '../' but only if the store is in preview mode.
