Hi, I think my issue is related to this issue: https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/support/forum/115552 I am on Joomla 3.10.12 (already preparing the update), but it is for a magazine and there is a new issue tomorrow. The problem: I have a user custom field of type JCEMedia: a portrait. Since the update to JCE 2.9.57 when I open a user, the JCEMedia field looks like a normal input field - not like a media field. If I add any text/char and save, then the media field is shown. Then I can add an image. Then I save the user. But in the frontend I have the same issue as in the linked issue from above. My html code looks like this:

<img src="https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/{" media_src":"images\="" comprofiler\="" XXX_www.jpg","media_text":"protrait="" xxx"}"="" alt="Portrait XXX" title="XXX">

Best regards Sigrid

Hi, It seems we are many to get this issue. The developper may confirm the way the information for JCE custom field is store moved to a simple path like images/nameoftheimage.jpg to JSON {media_src="https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/nameoftheimage.jpg" ....} ? I just have to make some modification an override. For getting your path you have to use something like this :

json_decode($fields['image-de-l-article']))->media_src

where $field[] is your custom field. In my case I had to test like this

is_array(json_decode($fields['image-de-l-article'], true)

because it will don't display the old article image that still have the "simple path".

I have the same problem. I use the Custom JCE File Browser (Media) field in Yootheme for e.g. PDF downloads.
The file path is changed as soon as I fill in the "description field" e.g. from /image/documet.pdf to /images/ This is changed as soon as the "description field" is filled in (example path): /%7B%22media_src%22:%22images//document.pdf%22,%22media_text%22:%22test%22,%22media_supported%22:[%22img%22,%22video%22,%22audio%22,%22iframe%22,%22a%22,%22object%22]%7D"

The "description field" could also be hidden so that it is not used by users.
