I have a snippet that creates a html grid of images. The snippet accepts a property &ids that contains a comma separated list of resource ids. It loops through the resouce ids creating an array of properties. Properties include image path and image alt text both of which are stored as TVs for each Resource. The snippet generates a block of html by processing the array through a template chunk with $chunk->process($arr_output_props, $template);. The chunk contains placeholders where each of the properties retrieved from the TVs should be output.
It works as intended for the text tvs however the template chunk contains a snippet which processes the image path to create a responsive TV of type image. These source files doe the
The issue is phpthumbof throws an error
File not found: K:/virtualhosts/domain.co.uk/httpsdocs/[[+image]] *** Skipping ***
This is because the placeholder tag [[+image]] is sent to phpthumbof instead of the actual image file path assets/media/photo.jpg.
If I place the [[+image]] tag in the chunk outside of the snippet that calls phpthumbof the correct file path is shown. If I replace the [[+image]] placeholder with a hard coded image file path assets/media/photo.jpg the responsive images are generated by phpthumbof.
Something is preventing the [[+image]] tag being parsed and I can’t figure why.
Does anyone know what it wrong with the following code?
It may be relevant that the site is using pdoTools so is not using the default MODX parser. This is an update to an existing site that has used the generatePicture snipped for years without issue.
