Ok, well it looks like you're along the right lines, if you post the actual line of code used to display the admin_setting_configstoredfile field, it would help in working out why the code you've posted above doesn't work.
this is setting part
$settings->add(new admin_setting_configstoredfile(
'my_plugin/my_name'
get_string('file', 'my_plugin'),
get_string('fileDes', 'my_plugin'),
'my_area'
));
Try something like this, I think you might have gotten some of your arguments wrong:
$files = $fs->get_area_files($context->id, 'my_plugin', 'my_area', 0);
$file = reset($file);
$url = make_pluginfile_url($context->id, 'my_plugin', 'my_area', 0, $file->get_filepath(), $file->get_filename());
Thanks for your reply Mark,
it has same result of mine , i can get the path , but it gives error "Sorry, the requested file could not be found"
and even in image tag, cant show it.
is it any permission issu from moodleData folder?
as i know we store files in moodle data and make path in local plugin ?
beside that, the item Id for picture is always 0 in database , is it normal?
You can specify the itemid as an optional 5th parameter for admin_setting_configstoredfile(). If you don't specify, it uses 0.
Can you do print_object($file), and post the output?

)Ah, I just realised what's probably wrong.
pluginfile.php doesn't serve the file for you - it calls my_plugin_pluginfile() from your plugin's lib.php file. You'll need to define this function - look at some existing plugins for examples.
In your case you probably just need to reconstruct the path from the function arguments, do $file = $fs->get_file_by_hash(sha1($path)); then send_stored_file($file);
Thanks for your reply Mark,
when i check different libs , i saw all using "send_stored_file" which internally use "send_file".
"send_file" make images headers to show it. but the issue is , in my plugin, i have many different images which i need to call (iv separate it by area) and i really didn't see in any libs call pluginfile() .
let say in template , moodle use "/theme/image.php/" to generate mage , is there any other image generator file like this which i pass path and get the images and print it out url in variable ?? (same as moodle template)
thanks
Here is a fully working example of a plugin that serves it's own files
https://github.com/kiklop74/moodle-local_fooplug
It does contain it's own _pluginfile method.
I also added example how to actually use the stored setting. See index.php.
Dear Darko ,
thanks for your nice job.
I do it same in my block lib and setting files and call it instead of setting , in some classes of my own block . the issue is it generate the correct path and file name ,but unfortunately i receive "request file could not be found ".
ps. it generate bellow file :
<img src="http://localhost/MOODLE/moodle/pluginfile.php/1/my_plugin/my_area/0/apple.jpg" alt="This is my image!!!" />
This ping-pong is pointless. If you want real help we need to see the complete code of your plugin since obviously you are doing something wrong. Upload it to github/bitbucket and let us see.
Thanks Darko, i found the issue .
it was because of filearea , when i use many "configstoredfile" in same setting pages.
thanks alot.
Hi Hossein , i have the same problem
can you explait better what is the solution.
thanks !
