Valid Directory error with image delete

    Using Revo 2.1.3-pl am getting an error when I attempt to delete an image using the MODX Resource Browser. It says "Please specify a valid directory.: /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/assets/Images/undefined/mypic.jpg"

    The "undefined" is being inserted into the pathway. In every other respect this is working appropriately, it's just on deleting the image.

    Any ideas?

      I am having no luck resolving this issue and was just wondering if anyone has seen this error. I have been making the assumption that this is a pathway issue somewhere in Settings, but can't track down the solution.

        Did you do anything with the filemanager_* and rb_base_* settings?

          Yes, right now am using assets/Users/Images/ on both. Get the same results with rb_base empty.

            I'm having the exact same problem. Did you get this resolved?

                    Ditto for me. Anyone have a fix for this? I've tried everything I can think of.

                      I believe the problem is not with the delete, but with the update after a delete.
                      When you delete the call to directory.php returns "Access Denied", it should refresh the resource browser and remove the deleted image. Error is thrown when u try and delete the already deleted image!

                      I would imagine the undefined in the url is because the image no longer exists...

                      I plan to look at this over the next week or so, other stuff on the pile first tho smiley
                      I too was hoping someone would get to it first!
