In the tutorial about the staff section that uses a has_many array to store an image for the page type. I see that in the ss page using $Photo returns an entire img tage with source etc. I want to just get the filename of the image. In my controller I added a function like this:

public function ImageFilename() {
return $this->Photo->Filename;
}

This does not work but I am wondering why it doesn't work so I can better understand how SS works.

If you code $ImageFilename inside de ss file it should works!

$this->Photo->Filename is not empty?

Hi

I believe this is because retreiving an asset which is attached to a class via a has_one etc actually uses a method of the same name.
So calling $this->Photo()->Filename should work fine.

Anyway you can do this without any complicated stuff by just calling $Photo.URL in your template which will just return the relative URL of the image.

Hope that helps
