Media sources - Number '1' displaying where it should be media source name?

Hi,

I've had this issue before and can't remember how i solved it.
I create a media source called 'Media' This is assigned to my UserGroup.
Within Manage Users i assign a Setting:
Name: default_media_source
Key: default_media_source
Value: Media

When i go to the media browser as the aforementioned logged in user i see the number '1' where i should see Media on the dropdown.

Anyone know why the number '1' is displaying and how to remedy it.

Thanks

In system settings try changing the default Media Source to the one you created.

Or change the key default_media_source for the user group to the value you want.

Hi
Thanks for your response.
The only trouble with changing it in System Settings is that it changes it for every user.
I'm sure there is another way to do this per usergroup/user.

Try updating the Media Source and changing the name to Default Media Source.

Also, look in the database and see if the the modx_media_sources table has a 'name' field. If you skipped over an upgrade, the field may not have been created. If it's missing, see this: https://bobsguides.com/blog.html/2016/06/27/missing-db-fields-(unknown-column)/

One last thought: If the page has a lot of TVs, it may take a while before the JS that replaces the ID with the name executes. I've seen the name show up after several seconds. And if the page has any JS errors, it may not get to that code at all (Try Ctrl-shift-i in Chrome or Firefox, and then reload the page to see if there are any JS errors).

Thanks for all the suggestions BOB, i've covered all of that and still it defaults to the number '1' in the dropdown.
The only TV's being used is for a MIGX slider.
The only time the drop down does default to the Media directory is when there's an image TV that's assigned to my media source. The image selection within the RTE still defaults to '1'.
It's not a bit issue but a bit of a niggle.

Since you've eliminated that other possibilities, have you tried looking at the page with your browser in incognito or private mode? It's unlikely, but it could be a browser cache or cookie issue.

Also, I'm sure you've done this, but in case not, make sure all the Media Sources have something in the 'Name' field.

Did you try my second suggestion of
"change the key default_media_source for the user group to the value you want."
