Assign the media source to the image-field¶
- Go to: Extras->MIGX
- Edit your Config (right-click the config-item in the grid)
- Go to the Tab 'Formtabs' -> Edit the Formtab 'Image' -> Edit the field 'Image' 3.1. At the Tab 'Mediasources' add two new Items for the contexts 'web' and 'mgr' with the newly created mediasource-id
Modify your tpl¶
Create a snippet with name 'addmediasourcepath' with this code:
$output = str_replace('./','',$input);
if ($mediasource = $modx->getObject('sources.modMediaSource',$options)){
$output = $mediasource->prepareOutputUrl($output);
}
return '/' . $output;
In your tpl change the image-placeholder to something like that:
[[+image:addmediasourcepath=`3`]]
In case, you are using pthumb for image-resizing, to something like that:
[[+image:addmediasourcepath=`3`:pthumb=`w=500`]]
Change the mediasource - id, in the example above '3' to yours!

- Edit your Config (right-click the config-item in the grid)
