Hi Zdravko,

Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media::Image only likes actual image files.

If you're creating media assets using other file types, such as JSON,
you should use a Bric::BiZ::Asset::Business::Media object instead.

Hope this makes sense,

Bret

It does, but $superg comes from:

% my ($superg) = Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media->list({ title => 'superg.js',
% 'site_id' => $story->get_site_id })

So, is here the $superg of proper type to run $superg->upload_file($fh, "superg.js")?

You sure about that? What does `ref $superg` show?

Whatever media element type that is, you have the Image checkbox checked. Uncheck it. Then you'll need to delete that media document and create a new one.

Best,

What do you mean by Image checkbox? It's Bricolage 2.0.

Sorry, not a checkbox. That’s what I get for trying to go from memory.

So you should have a bunch of element types in Admin -> Publishing -> Element Types. One of these is the type of your media document. When you created it, you selected what its content type would be. This would be one of Subelement, Story, Image, Audio, Video, or Other Media. This element type is clearly an Image.

So you need to use or create another element type with its content type set to Other Media. I usually call it something like “static files” or something, and use it for my CSS files, JavaScript files, etc. Then recreate your JSON media document as an instance of that type. You will likely need to delete the existing JSON media document if you want its URL.

HTH,

David
