    Can anyone help me out please?

    Using MODx 0.95

    Why do I find: <script type="text/javascript">var MODX_MEDIA_PATH = "media";</script> in the source code?

    What is this for and is it possible to remove it without affecting any parts of the system?

    I have found the document that renders this code into the source: manager/includes/tmplvars.format.inc.php (line 13)

    Im not a PHP’r and sadly have to say im stumped embarrassed

    If theres anyone out there that could help I would appreciate it

    Cheers

      Easiest solution: upgrade to 096.

        Thanks Ryan for the direct answer, sadly that is not a solution that I can use.

          Why is that?

          Pulling the modx media path out of 095 files I think was scattered about multiple locations, and certain TVs need it in 095.

            If you’re not using the ticker, marquee, or floater TV widgets, it’s probably safe to comment out that line. If a Foundation member says otherwise though, listen to them, not me smiley

              i upgraded to 096 but still have <script type="text/javascript">var MODX_MEDIA_PATH = "media";</script> in the head.
              tried to clean cache and remove locks - didnt help.

              i dont mind having it there, but if i can remove it i would like to do that.

                Version 0.9.6 doesn’t remove this line of code.Quote from: rthrash at Jul 16, 2007, 07:41 AM

                It is possible to hack the core to remove it, but some TVs require that this variable be there, plus any upgrade you make to MODx will erase any changes you make to the core.

                    The TVs in 096 *shouldn’t* need that in them any longer as they’ve been ported to mootools... or did some get missed sirlancelot?

                      ...but you don’t need to - create a plugin to fire OnWebPagePrerender, add the code:

                      $output = $modx->documentOutput;
$remove = '<script type="text/javascript">var MODX_MEDIA_PATH = "media";</script>';
$replace = '';
$modx->documentOutput = str_replace($remove, $replace, $output);


                      ...and you’re done.
