Answered "base path" gone from TV input type: image?

    Before updating to REVO 2.2 I used a TV image which I modified by phpThumbOf.

    After updating it doesn't work.

    This is the call: 
    <img src="[[+tv.projectCovershot:phpthumbof=`w=320&h=100`]]">

    And the output, which does not display at all: 
    <img src="2/86.jpg">

    I believe the reason for not displaying is because the "src" is not correct, and therefore phpThumbOf does not work.

    While troubleshooting, I noticed a big change in the manager interface for TVs with "image" input type. The "base path", "base url" fields are gone!

    It used to look like this. Where can I find this in Revo 2.2?

      I figured out a work-around using galleryItem output.

      It is not ideal though, as it demands more technical insight from the client I am making the site for. Before it was enough to browse through a gallery, chose an image, and a format pre-set did the rest.

      Now the user has to use the galleryItem editing tool. Not a bad solution, but still unlike how it was before.

      Thus I have left this thread "unsolved" for now.

        These options are now controlled by Media Sources. You need to create a media source pointing at those base paths/URLs, and then on the Media Sources tab of the TV, choose it for your context.

        Note, there is no longer a "Prepend URL if no beginning /" option; I found I needed to remove the first / from both base path and URL to make it work correctly.

          I finally figured this out with the help for the fellas in IRC namely openGeek.

          you have to include &processTVs=`1` in your getresources call otherwise it won't work.
