MODX revolution image TV

Hi all

I’m new to Modx and this is the first website I’m building using Revolution.

I’m trying to create an image TV. Following the tutorial http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Template+Variables I have given it the variable Name of bioPhoto and input type is image. On my template I have called to the TV [[*bioPhoto]]. Which is all fine. However when I select the image from my resources page and then save and preview it, all I see is the link address to the image: /assets/images/dummy1.jpg.

Also I would like to use a PHx/CustomModifiers code on the image. The below code works for Evolution, but what would be the equivalent for Revolution, as there is no Phx snippet to download.
<!--insert if image if image present show this li-->
[+phx:if=`[*image1*]`:is=``:then=``:else=`[*image1*]`+]

Many thanks in advance

1. Set the output type of the bioPhoto TV to image

2. Use output filters http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Input+and+Output+Filters, or if you’re lazy like me, just put that placeholder [[*bioPhoto]] in your template / chunk - if there isn’t an image, it won’t be output.

Thanks,

1. but when I change the output to image. All i get on the page is an x where the image should appear.

2. Cheers for that, im reading the filters now.

Try [[*bioPhoto:default=``]]

It will output nothing if TV is empty.

Assuming you haven’t changed filemanager_url setting (which I may be getting wrong anyway) then the only time I can remember the image not showing was when I had modx running in a hosted sub-directory - fixed by using a base href tag in the head

Thanks zi and odeclas . It’s working fine now
