Export URL gets incorrect path

Hi @markryderbluesparkcouk

I’m not sure I understand what you are doing. Where are you exporting this from? I’m not aware of any export to txt functionality within Pods.

Cheers, Jory

It’s on PodsUI.php:2239.

The error in the file URL is because PodsMigrate()->save() on lines 883 to 885 sometimes returns a URL from GUID and sometimes returns a URL which is actually an absolute file path.

Ideally the first would use wp_get_attachment_url(), not a GUID, and the second would use wp_get_upload_dir() to replace basedir with baseurl.

In the short term, replacing pods/classes/PodsUI.php line 2238 which reads:

$this->message( sprintf( __( '<strong>Success:</strong> Your export is ready, you can download it <a href="%s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>', 'pods' ), $export_file ) );

With:

$upload_dir = wp_get_upload_dir();
$this->message(
	sprintf(
		__( '<strong>Success:</strong> Your export is ready, you can download it <a href="%s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>', 'pods' ),
		str_replace( $upload_dir['basedir'], $upload_dir['baseurl'], $export_file )
	)
);

…should resolve it.

In the long term, an issue has been filed for tracking resolution: #7144.

Thanks for your research here @pdclark
