Get image source on dynamic page

I have a single image on a dynamic page. How can I get source?

At first I tried something like this:


let source = $w("#imageName").src;

But that didn’t work — all I got was the source for the image in the editor, not the image on the live dynamic page.

So then I tried something like this (and variations of this ‘getCurrentItem’ code):

var currentItem = $w('#dynamicDataset').getCurrentItem();
    currentPic = currentItem.imageFieldKey
let source = currentPic.src

But that didn’t work either. What am I doing wrong?

Please and Thank You

Do you do it after the dataset is done loading? Inside datasets onReady?

Inside onReady.

This line
currentPic = currentItem.imageFieldKey
should give you the source, there is no src property on image fields, just on image elements.

Then I guess my code after that line is wrong … all I wanted to do was split the src url. I will try again in the morning. Thanks.

No problem queen

did it work?

lol I don’t know. It is barely 7am. I havn’t even dropped off my daughter at school yet.

Yup, it worked. I removed 1 line and that fixed everything. I guess I just needed to take a break from looking at the code to see it with fresh eyes. Thanks.

Being away from code solves a lot of coding issues
