Media Manager - Form Field type 'mediafinder'

[hjfigueira]

Hello,

When using an form widget with type 'mediafinder' the system throws an exception.

throw new SystemException(Lang::get('backend::lang.partial.not_found_name', ['name' => $partialPath])); at line 61

Aparently the file 'widgets/form/partials/_field_mediafinder.htm' cant be found, so i searched for this file literaly everywhere, (even github), but nothing.

I can confirm the same.

This feature is introduced in Build 269 make sure you have updated and are using edgeUpdates

$value is pulled through as an array throwing this error:

substr() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given
/modules/cms/FormWidgets/mediafinder/partials/_image_single.htm line 19

Likely anything else after will throw the same error?

Sorry for re-opening.

Just for the other guys, dont try adding this to an attachMany field... This was human error and my rookie mistake and is what causes the above problem :) 👍

I did hit an issue in the end...

To replicate:
Set image, save and close.
Go back to image, it no longer shows the thumbnail with the delete icon.

On a quick look through the console, it's not pulling in the source path.

Also, I assumed there would be a way to potentially use the .thumb() helper on the front-end, I understand that it wouldn't work based on it being a string saved, but what options do we potentially have here as a user could select an image that is huge in size?

The path is also a relative path from the media directory and we have no way of determining whether that's in storage/uploads or storage/media (I have 2 folders for my app atm).

Would it be possible to {{ post.featured_image|storage }} or something similar?

Hopefully the above helps somewhat.

@jonpxpx guess you should open a new issue, the same problem is happening to me too.

[jonpxpx]
