FastField Question

Any idea why will not work while does?

I should note that fastfield pulls loads resource fields in the same template just fine.

What, exactly, is panelFile supposed to output? What will it do if you have [[*panelFile]] on resource #26?

Yes, that's probably pertinent. ;( It's an image tv, and outputs as expected when placed on resource #26.

Have you tried it without an output option, just returning the image path, and added the img tags manually?

My guess is that FastField doesn't process the TV and/or get the default value when it's set to the TV's default value. I could be wrong.

Doing a "View Source" on it should tell you what FastField is returning, since image tags aren't shown.

I'm stumped. I changed the tv output value to image and same result. I've tried it with separate image TVs associated to the same resource with no output.

Yes, that's how I have it set up. I tried using an image output, as well, but still no result.

Try changing the TV type to text.

I can guess what you're going to say...

This was driving me nuts, so I created two test image TVs, one with processed output, the other set as default, and placed both into a test template. Both the processed and unprocessed TVs rendered using Fastfield's syntax for processed TVs (i.e. #myID.tv.myTV).

I placed the FF calls into the template where the issue originally presented and the TVs render as expected. I changed nothing else and swear by everything holy and unholy that there wasn't an error in my code.

Gremlins?
