I'm a web designer though not a ModX Guru. Our web developer just upgraded our 5 year old version to Rev 2.5. Our editor was TinyMCE but we were upgraded to the current TinyMCE with the Roxy Fileman feature.
We used to select Template Variable graphics simply by single clicking our selection from the Editor. The new Roxy Fileman presents us with the graphics dialogue, I highlight the desired one and click the 'Select' button. An alternative would have been to double click the graphic to select it and return to the ModX page.
When the graphic path is returned, there are two problems. There is no preview and, worse, the path has a leading "/" which, when we save the page, will not show the graphic. In fact it doesn't place the <img> link on the web page. If I remove the "/" from the path and save the page again, the graphic will show on the web page but still no preview in ModX. Finally, if I add the "/" back to the path
now it will show the preview. What is especially odd is when I now save the page
again the graphic continues to display on the web page. So ... previously the leading "/" prevented the graphic from even being put on the page and now it allows it.
The last thing I should mention is that the configuration of Roxy Fileman shows "files_root" as "/assets", which the documentation says is correct in that relative paths are not allowed. That by itself makes no sense to me since the web page has a Base URL statement of "
http://www.mydoman.org/". I should think that if the graphic's path left out the leading "/" it should still work.
Oh well, if you're still reading this can you shed any light on my problem? The developer doesn't want to help me, says to use my pathetic workaround (with the extra editing and page saves).
Thanks very much if someone of you can help me get this working the correct way, by simply clicking the graphic to select it and in return receive a working graphic and a graphic that has its preview showing in ModX.
With appreciation ... Sam (Gerber)
