Retrieving converted images

You can retrieve the url or path to a converted image by specifying the conversion name in the getUrl and getPath functions:

$mediaItems = $newsItem->getMedia('images');
$mediaItems[0]->getUrl('thumb');
$mediaItems[0]->getPath('thumb'); // Absolute path on its disk

Because retrieving an url for the first media item in a collection is such a common scenario, the getFirstMediaUrl convenience-method is provided. The first parameter is the name of the collection, the second is the name of a conversion. There's also a getFirstMediaPath-variant that returns the absolute path on it's disk.

$urlToFirstListImage = $newsItem->getFirstMediaUrl('images', 'thumb');
$fullPathToFirstListImage = $newsItem->getFirstMediaPath('images', 'thumb');
