Hi all,

We are using the built-in MCMS resource gallery browser to select or
upload a resource then pull-back info on it and store it in a
placeholder.  The gallery browser returns the URL to the resource but
we want to store the GUID.  However, we don't seem able to resolve the
URL back to a GUID!

dim imageItem as Resource =
CType(CmsHttpContext.Current.Searches.GetByPath(imageURL), Resource)

This only ever returns Nothing.  How can I get the resource object to
get its GUID when all I have is a URL?

Suggestions appreciated!

Thanks,

Chandy

Hi Chandy,

to get the GUID do the following:

string[] splt = imageUrl.Split('/');
string GUID = splt[3];
Resource rs = CmsHttpContext.Current.Searches.GetByGuid("{"+GUID+"}") a
s
Resource;
if (rs != null)
{
// ok, we got the Resource object
}
else
{
// sorry! Local resource. No object available.
}


Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Stefan,

Yeah, that's pretty-much what I resorted to.  Cheers.
