{{variable}} not working in product description

Question

<img alt="" src="{{media url="wysiwyg/my_image_large.png"}}" height="100" width="300" />

The previous code is included in products description. In frontend the result looks like this:

<img alt="" src="{WWWWW{WWWWWmedia url=" wysiwyg="" my_image_large.png"wwwww}wwwww}"="" height="100" width="300">

Does anybody know what could cause something like that?

-----------UPDATE-------------

I found that all variables work this way. They all give the same code:

{{config path="web/secure/base_url"}}

gives

{WWWWW{WWWWWconfig path="web/secure/base_url"WWWWW}WWWWW}

-----------UPDATE 2-------------

I found that this solution works, when displaying product description:

$_description = $this->getProduct()->getDescription();
$_myHelper = Mage::helper('cms');
$_processor = $_myHelper->getBlockTemplateProcessor();
echo $_processor->filter($_description);

It doesn't make sense and it's a temporary solution. But it might give you a clue of what's causing the issue here.

Answer 1

You escape the media url function by using double quotes withing the brackets. try:

src="{{media url=wysiwyg/my_image_large.png}}"

Answer 2

try this

replace media url="wysiwyg/my_image_large.png" with media url='wysiwyg/my_image_large.png' or media url="wysiwyg/my_image_large.png" with media url=wysiwyg/my_image_large.png inside img tag

Answer 3

You could try this, use it like this: <img src="{{media url=&quot;wysiwyg/my_image_large.png&quot;}}" alt="" style="height="100" width="300"" />
