TV drop-down to select image - is this the best way?

  • pbowyer Reply #1, 17 years ago
    Hi,

    I have a folder of images on my server for use as page headers.  I’d like to set up a TV so I can select which image to use on each page.

    As far as I can tell, the only way to get the contents of a directory is to use the @EVAL binding?
    @EVAL $files = scandir('./path/to/dir'); return implode('||', array_slice($files, 2));

    Is this the best approach, or is there another? It works, but I may have missed something wink

    Thanks,
    Peter

      Make sure your images folder is in the assets/images folder. Now you can configure your TV to have the input type of "image" and the output widget type of "image".
