Media's url(…) should offer include_host-Parameter

[MaZderMind]

A [Media's url(…) Method](https://learn.getgrav.org/content/media#url) does not offer a include_host`-Parameter like the Page-Object does.

Furthermore there seems no other way to add the Hostname to a Media's URL.

Skip the last Paragraph, one can prepend uri.base. But the API should closer mimic the Pages' API which offers this option.

Pretty sure this already takes into account the system.yaml based absolute_urls setting.

[MaZderMind]

Yes, probably. I needed it here for a Pinterest sharing link, which needs the hostname but just in this place.

Can you explain the use case in details, to understand what's the problem and how did you expect it to work?

[rhukster]

I think he programmatically want's to flag a particular media URL to use full URL rather than using whatever the default style is.

so:

{{ page.media['someimage.jpg'].url(true) }}

To provide a full http://yourhost.com/yourpage/someimage.jpg type URL for this media item.

[MaZderMind]

@rhukster exactly. My Use-Case currently looks like this:

{% set url = uri.url(true) | url_encode %}
{% set desc = page.title | url_encode %}
{% set image = (uri.base ~ (page.media.images | first).url) | url_encode %}

<a class="pinterest" href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url={{ url }}&amp;media={{ image }}&amp;description={{ desc }}" data-width="1200" data-height="630">
    Pinterest
</a>

I had expected for media..url to have a include_host parameter, symmetrical to uri.url.

Ok got it, you can do via absolute_urls: true, but turns on for all images.
