Very simple plugin to provide a way to parse URLs that are bought back with {filedir} information.

Parse Filedir

A very quick example of this plugin would be if you were to run a query to bring back the contents of a file field. Normally you would see something like this in the output :


{ filedir_1 }my_file_name.jpg

This means that you can’t then just supply that information into an image tag as it wouldn’t know what to do with the { filedir_1 } part and so wouldn’t display an image.

Wrap this plugin tag around the output though and you should get the output you really wanted.


{exp:parse_filedirectories}
{your_field_name_here}
{/exp:parse_filedirectories}

Thank you for making this a 5-minute download/install vs a long dead-end workaround search.

Does exactly what it says on the tin – handy for when using the query module. Saves you setting up global variables for file upload locations which would then break if the locations were changed. Thanks for another nifty plugin Mark :)
