default icons for file types with SonataMediaBundle


I'm using SonataMediaBundle and I don't want to generate icons for certain file types (e.g. pdf, xls, doc). I want to use a default icon (e.g. pdf icon).

I've been reading the Sonata Media documentation, and I believed that I need something like this:

web/uploads/media/media_bundle/images/default_pdf/file.png or web/uploads/media/sonatamedia/files/default_pdf/file.png

neither of which work.

On the chance that <format> meant "small" or "large", I also tried this:

web/uploads/media/media_bundle/images/default_small/file.png

which I assumed would mean that file.png would be shown for every file, regardless of mime-type, if a small icon were required and the file instance didn't have a custom one. I also tried using admin instead of default as the context. No dice.

The icon src is always /uploads/media/sonatamedia/files/admin/file.png- which being an absolute path, does not actually exist.

My icon files are 45px wide, which I have set in config.yml:

        formats:
            small: { width: 45 , quality: 70}
            big:   { width: 500 , quality: 70}
            pdf: { width: 45 , quality: 70} //tried with and without this line

File permissions are 644 and the cache has been cleared. What am I doing wrong?


Solution

  • In the docs, the example config shows:

    cdn:
        server:
            path: /uploads/media # http://media.sonata-project.org/
    

    I needed

    cdn:
        server:
            path: /ACC/web/uploads/media # http://media.sonata-project.org/
    

    because my site's base url is something like http://example.com/ACC I hope this is useful to others.
