    I’m currently working on learning to use MODx and have run into a bit of a problem I’m sure someone here can help me with.

    The problem is with the image not displaying in the document after I’ve selected an image from the "insert" menu. All I get when I preview in a browser is the link to the image. I’ve published the page too with the same results.

    (hopefully) Useful information -

    I know the file permission settings are correct.

    I’m pretty sure the TV is set up correctly. (I’ve gotten other types of TVs to work)

    I have the correct code in the template for the TV.

    The TV shows up when I create or edit pages, and the insert menu for it works. It pops up, I select the image, the path is displayed in the field after I’m done.

    I’m assuming I’m doing that right because I can do inline images in the content area no problem.

    I’ve also tried using the default logo.png, as well as uploading my own .jpg and .gif files. I even tried using absolute links to other pictures I hosted elsewhere.

    If any other information would be helpful, let me know.

    Thanks guys, any help is greatly appreciated.

        Thanks for the reply. I actually figured it out a little bit ago, but that’s the exact solution I came up with.

          Where is the image widget? I`m searching for it but everything is advanced gallery, all I want is to show a image?

            Don’t forget when adding a Template Var of image input type, to add the image output widget as well.

              I found that image widget its right down at the bottom of the page, the image in now showing in the page but I have a chunk for ditto and I`m trying to get it to appear but just get a blank image, it has the alt tag but no code for the image link.
