Can anyone advise how to get the ID of the default Media Source in a snippet?

I have tried:

$modx->loadClass('sources.modMediaSource');
$source = modMediaSource::getDefaultSource($modx);
$basePath = $properties['basePath']['value'];

$source is an array but $basePath has no value.

This question has been answered by exside. See the first response.

does this work?

$modx->loadClass('sources.modMediaSource');
$source = modMediaSource::getDefaultSource($modx);
$source->initialize();
$basePath = $source->getBasePath();

That works Bruno, thank you, however I failed to explain what I need correctly.

My current code is:

$mediasource = $modx->getObject('modMediaSource', array('id' => 1)); // <---- media source ID is hard coded
$properties = $mediasource->get('properties');
$basePath = $properties['basePath']['value'];

It's actually the ID of the default Media Source I want, in this case 1 so that it doesn't need to be hard coded in the snippet.

Based on your example: $basePath = $source->getBasePath();

I am looking for something like: $id= $source->getID();

Is there a list of properties that are available? If there is I can't find it.

Don't know how I missed it: http://fossies.org/dox/modx-2.3.1-pl/classmodMediaSource.html

On 2.3.1 getBasePath() doesn't return the value of the basePath Property though, it returns the full filesystem path:

Expect: assets/uploads/
Get: C:/inetpub/vhosts/domain.com/assets/uploads/

Seems it might be a bug though, found this on Google:

when I manually prepend the modx base path + media source path it works and ... On the first request with empty cache $source->getBasePath() returns the full

http://bugs.modx.com/issues/7392

But the website isn't responding right now so I can't see the rest but it seems like someone else has experienced the same issue.

to get the id, I think this should work:

$source->get('id');

modFileMediaSource did allways return the absolute - path with

$source->getBasePath;

when basePathRelative was set to true, is it set to true in your mediasource - setting?

you can also try:

$properties = $source->getProperties();
$basePath = isset($properties['basePath']['value'])?$properties['basePath']['value']:'';

Yes, basePathRelative is true in the mediasource settings, so not a bug just lack of understanding on my part.

$source->get('id');

This works perfectly.

My Plugin is now complete. It fires OnFileManagerUpload and uses Resizer to automatically resize images uploaded through the File Manager. I'll check it over and post the full code later for scrutiny and for others to use.

Bruno - your help is invaluable, thank you!

As the default media source id is specified in the system settings, you could just do

$defaultsource = $modx->getOption('default_media_source');

but this will just give you the id and no source object, you would have to get that with some code like posted in the other comments here!

Even better, it is just the ID I need.

For some reason my brain was telling me it was separate to the system settings since the setting is edited through the Media Sources view in the Manager.

Still, I learned how to get it as an object which may be useful in future.

Thanks again both, very helpful. Full copy of plugin code to follow.
