Dynamic Media Source with MIGX and Babel

mrtnrsl — Aug 06, 2013, 11:52 AM

I'm trying to set up a dynamic Media Source with MIGX as described here:
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/MIGX.Use+resource-specific+media+source+and+multifile-uploader

I'm only interested in the dynamic part (not the multifile-uploader), so I'm only changing basepath and baseurl to:

[[migxResourceMediaPath? &pathTpl=`assets/resourceimages/{id}/`]]

Problem is that I'm also using Babel for multilanguage support, and this particular TV is (and should be) synced between translations. With the solution above I get one folder for each translation, meaning my users have to (in this case) upload a portrait for each translation.

Is there some way of replacing {id} above to always be the ID of the default language resource? Something like:

[[migxResourceMediaPath? &pathTpl=`assets/resourceimages/[[BabelTranslation? &contextKey=`web` &resourceId=`{id}`]]/`]]

Any help appreciated!

Hello @mrtnrsl,

Regarding the above did you manage to solve this issue, syncing migx gallery and babel?

seems BabelTranslation is trying to call modResource-methods, but there isn't a modx->resource-object at this time.

you can try to add one with:

resource)){
    $modx->resource = $modx->newObject('modResource');
}
$docid = $modx->runSnippet('BabelTranslation', array('contextKey' => 'web', 'resourceId' => $docid));
$modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'docid migxBabelResourceMediaPath: '.$docid);

Yes. And it also works when using the original one ([[migxResourceMediaPath? &pathTpl=`assets/resourceimages/{id}/`]]).

Things get weird with the snippet call to BabelTranslation, even if i just add:

$modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Result: '.$modx->runSnippet('BabelTranslation', array('contextKey' => 'web', 'resourceId' => $docid)));

..in other words, even if if i don't use it the upload won't work.

what happens, when you change the mediasource-pathes to a hardcoded one(the same as the generated one).
Does the file get uploaded then?

Thanks Bruno,

Seems to be pretty straightforward, but something is wrong.
I've added this to my custom snippet:

$docid = $modx->runSnippet('BabelTranslation', array('contextKey' => 'web', 'resourceId' => $docid));

The folder is created, and the snippet returns a correct id (logged it to the error log). However, the MODX browser doesn't like it. When trying to upload a file, the upload never finishes. And the default "No files match blabla" string usually shown in empty folders is gone. And this error strangely occurs even if I only log the code above.

My full snippet is as follows:

getOption('pathTpl', $scriptProperties, '');
$docid = $modx->getOption('docid', $scriptProperties, '');

if (empty($docid) && $modx->getPlaceholder('docid')) {
    $docid = $modx->getPlaceholder('docid');
}
if (empty($docid)) {

    if (is_Object($modx->resource)) {
        $docid = $modx->resource->get('id');
    } else {

        $parsedUrl = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
        parse_str($parsedUrl['query'], $parsedQuery);

        if (isset($parsedQuery['amp;id'])) {
            $docid = $parsedQuery['amp;id'];
        } elseif (isset($parsedQuery['id'])) {
            $docid = $parsedQuery['id'];
        }
    }
}
// Same Media Source for all languages
$modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Result: '.$modx->runSnippet('BabelTranslation', array('contextKey' => 'web', 'resourceId' => $docid)));
$docid = $modx->runSnippet('BabelTranslation', array('contextKey' => 'web', 'resourceId' => $docid));

$path = str_replace('{id}', $docid, $pathTpl);
$fullpath = $modx->getOption('base_path') . $path;

if (!file_exists($fullpath)) {
    mkdir($fullpath, 0755, true);
}

return $path;

Any ideas?

you would need a custom migxResourceMediaPath - snippet
