For http://www.fahrenheitstore.nl I use GD quite a lot to re-size images and add watermarks to them.

After upgrading the site to 2.3rc4 , the watermarks stopped working ..

It seems the value of the URL property of the Image class has changed.. From 2.3 on , it returns a relative path instead of a full absolute address. This breaks backwards compatibility.

I can't find anything about it in the docs (maybe I'm not look in the right places), but before I post a ticket, can anyone confirm this behaviour for me ?

Testcase :

2.2.3

class Bla extends Image {
..
return $this->URL;
..
}

returns : http://www.blabla.com/assets/bladiebla/bla.jpg or something like that..

Where in 2.3 it returns just

/assets/bladiebla/bla.jpg

Thanks !

There was indeed some tricky deprecation for Image->URL. Relevant changesets from 11 months ago:
http://open.silverstripe.com/changeset/51251
http://open.silverstripe.com/changeset/51471/

$image->URL should call $image->getURL(), which gives you a relative link in 2.3 - so not sure why this fails...

Did you subclass image, and perhaps added a $db property called URL?

I've also found out that File->getURL() actually returns the absolute URL - this inconsistency needs to be fixed, I've opened a ticket: http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/3600

>$image->URL should call $image->getURL(), which gives you a relative link in 2.3 - so not sure why this fails...

Well yeah, that is indeed what it does.. ;-) But in 2.2.3 , it returned an absolute link .. I think it should be noted in the upgrade-documentation that this is going to happen , because it took me quite some time to figure out why my site got killed.. That is all.. ;-)

Lol, yeah got myself confused there ;) Added a note to http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=upgrading:2.3.0

I should've marked the original commit as "API CHANGE", in which case it wouldn't have gone unnoticed in compiling the upgrade warnings.

Cool...

thanks !
