Image TV not working [SOLVED]

    I’ve made a custom TV called [*TVimage*] with an "Image" input value so users can create a new document and upload an image with it before saving. I set the widget to "Image" too.

    Then I created a template chunk and inserted [*TVimage*] where I wanted the image to appear.

    Then I have a ditto call in my page template which uses this template chunk.

    The image does not appear on the page. It seems like I’m doing everything right but it just won’t work!

    Any help much appreciated.

    Alex.

    tplEvents:

    <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">
  <tr>
    <td width="25%" align="left" valign="middle"><strong>[+pagetitle+]</strong><br />[+longtitle+]</td>
    <td width="50%" align="left" valign="middle">[+content+]</td>
    <td align="right" valign="middle">[*TVimage*]</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p> </p>


    Ditto call on "Events" page:

    [[Ditto? &tpl=`tplEvents` &orderBy=`longtitle ASC` &filter=`TVmissed-it,No,7`]]

      What does a "view source" of the generated page show? Is anything showing up in the source at all?

      Have you checked the TV by itself in a test document? Does the image TV work at all, outside of the Ditto listing?

        Yes and it does appear.

        Yes on a test page it does appear. Is the reason it’s not working because the TV is in a template chunk?

          If you are using the tv inside the ditto template, u need to use [+TVimage+] ....

            that’s it! So simple. Thanks a lot.
