[SOLVED] 2 image preview problms: 1 in ManageFiles; broken JPGs in MCPUK-browser

We now know that the Resource path

should be same as the automatically formed address in the File Manager path with ’assets/’ added.


The Resource URL however (one line down in the Configuration sheet)

should be NO MORE then just ’assets/’ in it and it all works fine!

Absolutely correct; glad you got it figured out. It was misleading as the behavior changed in 0.9.6.2 and changed back to the way it used to work in 0.9.6.3.

This is a good tip. I noticed this shortcut for finding the path but forgot to post about it. Thanks

shouldn’t the resource URL be /assets/ instead of just assets/ ?


the urlencode-fix reported in the thread I linked to above fixes one of my problems, the one in the resources->filemanager.

I still have no preview in the resource browser though. this here http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,3192.0.html looked like a fix for me at first, but according to my phpinfo, I do have GD enabled.

when I copypaste the URL of an image preview out of the resource browser into the address bar, I get something like this:

The image “http://www.MYDOMAIN.COM/manager/media/browser/mcpuk/connectors/php/connector.php?Command=Thumbnail&Type=images&CurrentFolder=/&FileName=logo.png” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

any ideas left?

No, not if you want a portable site definition. /assets/ means from the absolute root of the web-server which could be different when a site is moved; whereas assets/ means relative to the current base_url for the site.

Are my approach the right one for being "PORTABLE"?

I have my links in template like this:


That output them like this:


[(base_url)] gives them an /

//I have the


outputing:


OR DOES IT NOT MATTER?

If you have the BASE element with the site_url at the beginning of your HEAD in every template, there is no reason for the base_url tags in your href/src properties within the content.

Sweet thing I asked! I have done it in vain!!

TNX.

I think I have the same problem as warenhaus...
When I click "Insert" in the image TV side, the resource manager opens, it opens where my images are and everything works fine...
except, there are no images... only a red dot with the name of the file..

it has the name underneath and the images are displayed in the TV if I select one... so...
I have read the other thread also and I have played with the path, but it is OK as it finds my images...

I am working in a new 9.6.3 install, any ideas?

mrhaw, thanks for the reply but that is not my issue.
And by the way, I was not aware at that functionality but it works fine for me, docs and images...

My prob is in the TV insert resource manager...
