I'm seeing an issue in Low Seg2Cat where the {last_segment_category_image} variable seems to not be parsing the file directory & is returning the following: {filedir_10}gaf-logo.png. I am using {last_segment_category_description} just after it & it is displaying correctly. Am I using the Category image tag incorrectly. or might there be something else going on here? I'm on EE4.1.2

Thanks. Russ

File paths are only parsed in the Category Image field, not in the Category Description field, and only if the Parse File Paths setting is set to Yes.

You can possibly use this little utility-addon to parse the {filedir_x} into the full path.

I have added an updated version of parse_file_paths by rsanchez as a fork which now will work in EE 3.x and up.

All I did was to add the addon.setup.php file to the zip file with the appropriate fields filled in. The original code still works like a champ!

This works very well with the Query module. It takes the raw results containing {filedir_X} and expands that into the actual file path, using a routine already in the typography.php library in EE but for some reason that is not used by the query module by default. This little addon makes up for that.
