This is a small utility module.
In Drupal 7 file information is built with schemas. File can be saved as public://, private://, and so on.
A utility function, file_create_url($path), is used in order to retrieve the web-accessible URL.
When working with external tools/sites/etc. (via Services, for example), it means that each time file information is retrieved, it should somehow be filled with the full URL.
This module solves this limitation -
- Install this module
- Go to http://example.com/admin/config/media/file-system
- Mark "Add full url value into files information" (disabled by default).
- Clean the cache
And since then each file information you will get will also include a "full_url" value, created by the file_create_url() function.
