[SOLVED] category view - field stopped showing

Sorry for the food of messages, but it really important for us to sort this issue.

In the image upload dialog I have noticed that FC tries to upload the original image file to images/stories/flexicontent/item_XXX_field_19/original, not to components/com_flexicontent/uploads/

I've got this info from the session debugger.

"fc_upload_path_19_231": "\/path\/to\/main\/2016\/images\/stories\/flexicontent\/item_231_field_19\/original"

yes in new version we update folder mode with multiupload system

Another detail I have noticed is that the image upload dialog changes from the older version of the interface to the newer upon saving the Cover Image field, even without changing any parameter.

We are back to the beginning.

Saving the image field is ultimately what caused all this mayhem.
Something gets misconfigured behind the scenes.
This looks most definitely like a bug in FC.

Hello

by your last 2 topics is see what happened
- your image field was in "DB-mode" as "Image source"

but now it seems to be in "Folder mode"
please edit the field configuration and make sure it is in "DB-mode", and then save it

I've just tried that, but still no luck.

Plus, I'm pretty positive that the Image Source upload mode has always been set to "Item+Field Specific Folder".
I draw this conclusion from analysing previous backups if the site, from before the field disappeared.

Also, when an item with field Cover Image is saved, the image then disappears from the Item details view.
Before saving it, however, the image still displays as expected.
It would appear that the item (also the category view) is looking for a different image path than the one it should.

As noted in an earlier post, this mess started happening when the Cover Image filed was save *without any modifications.
