Hmm, perhaps try the alternative implementation:

(Removing spaces between % and variable name)

I am having problems getting filesize to work, it seems to return nothing.  I have got the filesizer plugin to work, but I would really like to use this one instead because I want to extract the filename too.

Do you have any ideas why this is? Could it be a server problem?

I’ve changed the docpath in the file to my document root…

Do you have an odd setup? I can’t see why this would normally fail.

Can you provide a URL to an example file, your document root, and where in your file system the file resides - a PM will do if you’re uncomfortable revealing that kind of information on a public board.

Does the filesize work if you give an exact url (http://www.site.com/files/file.pdf), or do you need to use realtive URLS (/files/file.pdf)?

I think the php filesize() method only works with relative URLs and i’ve been testing your plugin using absolute URLs. So that might be the problem?

Now i have started using relative URLs I am getting “No URL Found” error, so I guess I have setup the paths incorrectly.

currently the directory+filename is a custom field “{filedir_1}file.pdf” and outputs “/files/file.pdf”.  This works fine with EE for linking to images etc, but extract_url_plus doesnt seem to like it.

I’ll experiment for a bit…

*edit*
Does this plugin require the http://domain.com to be in the file path in order to work?
I can get it working (including filesize) using

but strangely having an absolute URL of http://www.domain.com/files/file.pdf doesnt return the file size?

Another question, Is it possible to show no decimal places? setting filesize_precision to 0 seems to go back to the default of 2.

Hi joobs,

You must give the plugin a full url, it won’t recognise a path, e.g., “/files/file.pdf”.

If you supply “http://www.example.com/files/file.pdf” and you’ve set the document root to say “/var/www/html/”, the plugin will assume the file lives at “/var/www/html/files/file.pdf” and check first if it exists and what the size is if it does.

Hey butcher,

Awesome plugin(!!) but spaces in the filename still cause a “No URL Found” to show.

Is there a way that we can show a generic image for, say, Word docs?  I’m using this along with Mark’s File plugin and am displaying both images and Word docs and would like an icon for the Word docs.

Thanks again for an awesome tool!!

Hi svh1,

Can’t help regarding the spaces thing (filenames should not include spaces).  As for the word doc icon? Sure just make one and dump it in with the rest of the icons that come with the file extension.

Using both examples from the docs…all variables get returned except for % filesize. It’s extracting a standard .jpg file.
Any ideas why that isn’t returned? (yes, all spaces are removed)

Edit-Add: Tried editing the plugin file and changing the docpath using the same “server path” as is used for the EE file upload settings. None of the variations I tried worked. Hosted on EngineHosting if that helps.

Getting “No URL Found” with this code. I have the setting for “Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links?” set to “no” for the weblog, and have also confirmed that it’s outputing the URL specified.

For example: http://www.google.com/

Using latest version: 1.3 - 17 April 2007 and latest Expression Engine

Note: Code below has added spaces to correctly output here otherwise it looked like this: o;main

I am also getting the No URL Found error

image-1 is a image added with the ee file upload utility

If this helps, if I just use

in my template I get the url (no img tags)

I have also used the file upload extension but still get the same error.

Hmm.  Expect to see a new release shortly with all of these recent issues addressed. To everyone who has an unsolved issue, above, you’ll receive a PM when it’s ready

AWESOME! Your plugin is helping me keep the entries for this weblog “DRY” by extracting the domain and TLD out of a specific custom field instead of forcing the user to duplicate data and repost a shortened version of the resourced url.

Got a donation link?

excellent, looking forward to the update

also looking forward to it! Thanks!

And looking forward to it too!

any update if this plugin will be having an update ?

This plugin has been replaced by Extract URL Plus 2.

Please use the newer version.
