MIGX Media Source

Hey all - MIGX newb, but loving it so far. I've got a somewhat simple question though.

I'm using MIGX to power an image gallery for a new site, and I would like to specify a media source for it to use. I've tried creating a media source with a base href and base url that look like this:

[[migxResourceMediaPath? &pathTpl=`assets/images/gallery_images/{id}/`]]

and then assigning that media source to my MIGX tv. The issue is, no matter what I do, the file browser still shows the root folder instead (what it would do if no custom media source was specified). Can I get a little help from you MIGX veterans? Thanks a million!

The media source should be assigned to the "helper" image TV, not to the MIGx TV itself.

To be clear, I've only created one TV (the MIGX one) and it works fine; are you saying that I should create another TV (the 'helper') with the same name as the one cited in my JSON string in my MIGX TV?

There are several ways how you can assign a mediasource to a MIGX-image.

If you are configure the MIGX-TV directly in the formtabs of the MIGX-TV-input-options,
you may have either

"inputTV":"anyImageTv"

than you will need to have a image-TV with name 'anyImageTv' (no template assigned) and assign the mediasource to that TV

or

you can do it this way:

[{"caption":"test"},{"fields":[
{"field":"image","caption":"Image","inputTVtype":"image","sourceFrom":"migx"},
{"field":"image2","caption":"Image","inputTVtype":"image","sourceFrom":"config","sources":"[{\"MIGX_id\":\"1\",\"context\":\"web\",\"sourceid\":\"3\"},{\"MIGX_id\":\"2\",\"context\":\"de\",\"sourceid\":\"3\"}]"},
{"field":"test2","caption":"test2"}]}]

the first image-field has its source from the migx-TV
the second image-field has its source from its own configuration under the sources-config

or you can do all that from the MIGX-configuation-CMP without messing arround with json-strings

Perfect, Bruno. I used the option you demoed for the first image, and it worked like a charm.

MIGx never ceases to amaze me. Is there anything it can't do?

Hello. Trying to make a gallery with the help of this tool. There is a need to work with it dropbox-2.1.2-beta.
Additional field (TV): GalleryPhoto
Tabs form:

[{"caption":"Image", "fields": [
    {"field":"set","caption":"Set"},
    {"field":"description","caption":"Description"}, 
 {"field":"image","caption":"Image","inputTVtype":"image","sourceFrom":"migx"}
  ]
}]

Column layout:

[{
  "header": "Set", "sortable": "true", "dataIndex": "set"
},{
  "header": "Description", "sortable": "true", "dataIndex": "description"
},{
  "header": "Image", "sortable": "false", "dataIndex": "image","renderer": "this.renderImage"
}]

That leads to an error on the site
Fatal error: Call to a member function getOption() on a non-object in /home/user1166533/www/jinini.com/core/components/dropbox/model/dropbox/dropboxmediasource.class.php on line 1275

Please help

<ul>
[[!getImageList?
&tvname=`GalleryPhoto`
&tpl=`@CODE:<li>[[+idx]]<img src="[[+image]]"/><p>[[+title]]</p></li>
`]]
</ul>

https://github.com/MODX-Club/modx-Dropbox/blob/master/core/components/dropbox/model/dropbox/dropboxmediasource.class.php#L1275

seems for whatever reason

$this->ctx

isn't a context-object at this time.

I am very bad at programming. Please tell me how it should be.
