Wix Image URL´s changed?

I (and many others) use Wix images from outside Wix (like in the html-component) and for it I use a function to convert the wix url into something that can be used in plain html. The first version was developed by Andreas and I adapted it (long time ago, still here on this forum).

In both versions, wix images had the prefix “wix:image” and that´s what we tested on. Today I found out it no longer worked. Now the prefix seems to be “image:” and the postfix is longer.

Can anyone confirm that this is a 100% change, meaning the prefix “wix:image” is depricated and is now ALWAYS replaced by “image:”?

EDIT: in particular, I´m talking about fileUpload (button). Example in doc states:

$w("#myUploadButton").startUpload()
  .then( (uploadedFile) => {
    let url = uploadedFile.url;  // "wix:image://v1/68d3a9_1de7529c444b4c9eb38401f8efe0cad2.jpg/flowers.jpg#originWidth=1970&originHeight=1120"
  } )
  .catch( (uploadError) => {
    let errCode = uploadError.errorCode;  // 7751
    let errDesc = uploadError.errorDescription; // "Error description"
  } );

Note the “wix:image://…”. This is no longer true in my case. It is “image://…”.

Yes shame Andreas Kviby not around anymore to help us :frowning:

However, the user has to choose which file to upload so this path is stored, then uploaded into Wix media Manager etc and gets given the full wix:image url as shown by the uploadedFile.url example in the code.

So as you are getting the image from the Wix Media Manager it should be wix:image something, so it would be interesting to know why it has suddenly stopped working, especially as I’ve just tested it in a new dataset and it is still showing as wix:image if you do it through the dataset currently.

If it had been depreciated, then I would have expected a lot of info already to have been posted about it to all of us through Wix emails and supposedly changed already in the Wix online info, although I have noticed that Wix aren’t always so quick on changing old code to new code…

Hopefully Yisrael or a Mod can update us when they have the chance to look into it further.
