[symfony-users] Re: Generate absolute URL for upload directory

[Mo Mughrabi]

Thanks Eno,

I found a way which helped me return the absolute url for any location i
need through the public_path helper.

First i had to include the helper through the getConfigurations

sfContext::getInstance()->getConfiguration()->loadHelpers(array('Url'));

and then just use the public_path('uploads/file.jpg');
