[TYPO3-english] dam_ttcontent and uploaded image files

[Wenzel Dirk]

Hi, 
Im observing a strange behavior of dam_ttcontent:
1st case:
- extension is installed
- an image is uploaded to _another_ folder then uploads/pics (i.e. fileadmin/blog/pics/) 
- image will not be found
- in BE an error message tells the image was searched for in uploads/pics

2nd case:
- extension is installed
- an image is uploaded to upload/pics
- in BE the image appears correctly in the 'old' image field
- in FE the image is not shown (but any image which is uploaded using the 'new' image field in BE)

In both cases setting tt_content.image.20.imgPath = fileadmin/blog/pics/ doesn't work

The images are not uploaded via BE but through an FE extension I'am working on. It creates tt_content elements (for t3blog) from frontend including images. The images are uploaded and the 'image' field of tt_content set accordingly. In a test environment without dam_ttcontent everything work just fine.

Although it might be possible to set all necessary DB fields for dam_ttcontent (by my extension) I would prefer to avoid this new dependency.

I wouldn't like to refrain from dam_ttcontent either because I had to update a lot of pictures manually in a running installation then (and declare dam_ttcontent as conflicting with my extension).

Any suggestions?

Thank you
Herzliche Grüße
Dirk
