How to create a custom Type TV considering MediaSource?

jeendream — Sep 23, 2015, 01:24 AM

Hello. I try to create a type TV (input), which loads the image. The problem is that in the derivation of TV output is only a relative path.

Displayed: imagename.jpg
Should so: /assets/images/imagename.jpg

MediaSource displayed only type of image and file, it is necessary somehow to add my type myTypeImage. Specify it /core/model/modx/modtemplatevar.class.php, line 291

public function prepareOutput($value, $resourceId= 0) {
        /* Allow custom source types to manipulate the output URL for image/file tvs */
        $mTypes = $this->xpdo->getOption('manipulatable_url_tv_output_types',null,'image,file');
        ...
}

I am trying to do so, but it did not work

$this->xpdo->setOption('manipulatable_url_tv_output_types','image,file,myTypeImage');

P.S. Sorry for my English

That's looking good to me.
I think, I would have it done exactly like that.

I found a solution, but I would like to hear the views of more experienced developers

Plugin to an event "OnWebPageInit" and wrote the following code:

case 'OnWebPageInit':
        $this->xpdo->setOption('manipulatable_url_tv_output_types', 'image,file,myTypeImage');
        break;

case 'OnWebPageInit':
        $mTypes = $this->xpdo->getOption('manipulatable_url_tv_output_types',null,'image,file').',myTypeImage';
        $this->xpdo->setOption('manipulatable_url_tv_output_types', $mTypes);
        break;
