migxResourceMediaPath creates empty folders

Development
#1

I needed to upload multiple files in Migx, so I followed this official Modx tutorial step by step:

https://docs.modx.com/3.x/en/extras/migx/migx.tutorials/use-resource-specific-mediasource-and-multifile-uploader

Everything works fine, the only issue is that now every time I click on any TV in the manager an empty directory is created (under “assets/resourceimages/”) named with exactly the same ID as the TV I clicked.

migxResourceMediaPath throws an error - Failed to initialize the media source "ResourceMediaPath"!

It looks like the snippet migxResourceMediaPath (from the Media Source “ResourceMediaPath”) gets executed every time you click on a Template, TV or Chunk in the “Elements” tab of the manager.

You probably have to adjust the migxResourceMediaPath snippet code to avoid this, or maybe just ignore the empty folders. Or set the property &createFolder to 0 and create the necessary folders manually.

Thank you. I changed &createFolder to 0 but its not an ideal solution if you wish to dynamically create a folder for each Migx gallery.

I think migxResourceMediaPath (system snippet) and/or Migx tutorial needs to be fixed because there’s also another bug when you upload multiple files to a draft that haven’t been saved (without id).

Maybe create an issue for this on github

or try to fix it yourself and make a pull request.
