Hello DougS,
Thank you for your reply,
I'm use standard .NET deserialization for deserilizing Lithium REST API responses.
Here is brief example of Image entity:
[Serializable, XmlType(AnonymousType = true)] public class Image : EntityBase { [XmlElement("url")] public string Url { get; set; } [XmlElement("upload_date")] public DateTime UploadDate { get; set; } [XmlElement("height", typeof(XmlInteger))] public int? Height { get; set; } [XmlElement("width", typeof(XmlInteger))] public int? Width { get; set; } [XmlElement("title")] public string Title { get; set; } [XmlElement("description")] public string Description { get; set; } [XmlElement("thumbnail")] public Image Thumbnail { get; set; } }
For deserializing string to Image entity I'm uisng
XmlSerializer.Deserialize
standard XML deserializer method.
It works pretty well for all other REST API calls, and I don't expect that image uploading is an exception.
But I guess that something goes wrong when Lithium gererate image URL,
because I saw a couple of times URLs like the following:
http://%CommunityName%.stage.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/137i286D3365B41F7E77?v=mpbl-1%2fimage-dimensions%2f64x36%3fv%3dmpbl-1
Thanks for the clarification iahiqosolutions -- I didn't see the issue with the url originally but do now -- we are looking into this as a possible bug with image gallery image URL generation.
Until that is resolved, if you are ok with making another call, you could take the image id you get in the response and make this call like this one to get the url (hopefully the URL will be correctly formated in that case, but please reply to this post if it's not):
