Thank you!

When I added $imageTextConfiguration['imgPath'] = 'uploads/pics/'; the 
images showed. But wrapped in tables :( It seems as IMGTEXT is not what 
I was looking for. Found:

$TS['conf'] = ' < tt_content.textpic.20';
$TS['conf.']['text.']['20'] = 'TEXT ';
$TS['conf.']['text.']['20.']['value'] = $row['bodytext'];
$TS['conf.']['imgList'] = $imgList;
$TS['conf.']['imgList.'] = ' >';
$TS['conf.']['layout.']['key'] = 17;
$TS['conf.']['layout.']['key.'] = ' >';

in an old post, but it didn't work. Any thoughts?
