{filedir_1} being substituted for image URL in Wygwam field

oxygensmith 9 Dec 2010 17:35 problem, complete

Hey Low,
When I upload images to a Wygwam field in Low Variables they render fine inside Low variables, but when the variable is on a template, it shows {filedir_1} and the image reference is of course broken. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried checking and unchecking the early parse checkbox. I'm using 1.3.2 and EE 1.7.0. Thanks.

   I think in this case you may need to use the module tag to display it correctly:
   
   
{exp:low_variables:parse var="my_wygwam_var"}

   That fixed the problem. Thanks for the deadline-beating response, Low!

   EE2.1.3/LV1.3.4
   
   This problem seems to have reappeared in EE2. Have tried using {exp:low_variables} tag but this isn't working.
   
   Any ideas?

   I reckon this has something to do with Wygwam more than LV. Have you asked Brandon? You should still be using the {exp:low_variables:parse} tag, but that also means the replacing of the {filedir_x} vars should be handled by the vartype/fieldtype.

   Thanks Low, will ask Brandon!

   Hey Low, I'm running into this issue too, but on EE 1.7.1, LV 1.3.5 & Wygwam 2.1.0.1.
   
   The URL for image files ends up looking something like this: http://www.somesite.com/template-grou...
   
   Doesn't matter if I upload a new file or use one from Wygwam's file browser.
   
   I've tried the code two ways:
   
   {exp:low_variables:parse var="lv_boxtext_1"}
   
   and
   
   
{exp:low_variables:parse}
{lv_boxtext_1}
{/exp:low_variables:parse}

   
   Any suggestions?

   Hi Angie,
   
   Brandon recently released Wygwam 2.3, which I think should solve this issue.

   Figures... the one bit I forgot to upgrade. Anyway, got it sorted - thanks!

   Having same issue on
   Low Variables 3.0.4
   Assets 3.0.0
   Wygwam 4.0.7
   ExpressionEngine 3.5.2
   
   Tried tag syntax and variable syntax (with single and parse) and still can't get image in Wygwam to show up in low variable field. Thoughts?

    This has been fixed in Wygwam version 4.0.9!
