I wanted to create new media source outside my modx folder to access folder “assets” on my server. Almost everything works well, but there is a problem with previewing files in manager as you cen see below. The same issue is in content text editors, like TinyMCE. Is there a solution for that?
The problem is that you need a URL to access the images, not a file path. If they’re outside the server root, that’s not possible. If they’re below the server root, you might be able to set the Media Source’s baseUrl to a full URL and set baseUrlRelative to no.
Thanks for your reply. I followed your advice, saved new settings, cleared cache, but still miniatures in manager doesn’t show up. My ‘assets’ folder is inside server root.
