RE: Media->OutputChannels->Destinations->Servers->HostNames
[In reply to]

Bret,
You hit the nail on the head. Here is my utility template, in case some other noob like myself comes along and needs help figuring it out.
<%args>
$media
</%args>
<%perl>
my $media_uri;
foreach my $destination (Bric::Dist::ServerType->list({ output_channel_id => $media->get_primary_oc->get_id, move_method => 'File System' })){
foreach my $server ($destination->get_servers){
$media_uri = $server->get_host_name;
}
}
return $media_uri . lc($media->get_uri());
</%perl>
This utility template will only return a FQDN when I have set up a File System type destination as a possible destination for an asset. Otherwise, it returns a relative URI for the asset.
It is called using $m->comp("/get_destination_host_name.mc",media => $media);
Thanks for the help,
Adam
