EE 2.5.2 breaking seg2cat category images?

Martyn James 24 Jul 2012 14:05 problem, rejected

Since I upgraded to EE 2.5.2 it looks like seg2Cat (2.6.2) is no longer parsing the {filedir_n} parameter when displaying {segment_n_category_image}

Anyone else encountered this?

   It never parsed the {filedir_n} vars. EE changed the field to a proper File field, along with the filedir vars. To parse those would mean extra overhead which isn't always necessary. I recommend using Parse File Paths: http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/parse-fil...

   That's odd - it was all working on EE 2.3, then I upgraded to 2.5.2 and all the category images broke - looking in firebug revealed that they were all generating img src={fileldir_3}image.jpg
   
   Was the EE change post 2.3 perhaps?

   Yep, 2.4.0:
   
   

   Changed the category image field to use the new File_field library and image browser.

   Ahhh ...
   
   Would I just use this as:
   {exp:parse_file_paths}{segment_3_category_image}{/exp:parse_file_paths}
   
   ?

   Yeah, that should do it.

   Unfortunately doesn't seem to work in conjucntion with imgsizer
   
   {exp:imgsizer:size src="{exp:parse_file_paths}{segment_3_category_image}{/exp:parse_file_paths}" height="50"}
   
   {/exp:imgsizer:size}
   
   Returns nothing
   
   (although if I echo out {exp:parse_file_paths}{segment_3_category_image}{/exp:parse_file_paths} it is correct)
   
   Maybe I'll post something on the imgsizer forum now...
   
   Thanks

   Try this instead:
   
   

   {exp:parse_file_paths parse="inward"} 
      {exp:imgsizer:size src="{segment_3_category_image}" height="50"} 
    {/exp:parse_file_paths}

   That did it ... Thanks for your help!
