Hi, I have an issue with the custom field "media jce", which I think you provide as an extension to the media field type of Joomla core.
I am using a subform with an image field (media jce) in it, so the client can create a collection of images that should be loaded dynamically into a YOOtheme gallery element. This worked fine until recently, but now, when an article is changed, the images are not shown any more even though in the edit form they are still visible.

I am using joomla 4.4.2 and JCE 2.9.61 and YOOtheme in it's latest version, but mainly what has changed is the structure of the field value, which I think is probably the reason why YOOtheme cannot find the image path any more.

This is the difference I've spotted in the field value structure (column "value" in table #__fields_values):

old (working) structure:
{"row0":{"field21":"images\/image.jpg"},...}

new (NOT working) structure:
{"row0":{"field21":{"media_src":"images\/image0.jpg","media_text":""}},...}

Can you help somehow or do I need to hope that YOOtheme will somehow adapt to that? I've informed them as well...

Any help is much appreciated!

Sorry, just found out that there is a legacy setting in your plugin! Problem is solved for the moment.

Thanks for posting this. I ran into the same problem. Main galleries and galleries with thumb navigation show weird behaviour. Using Joomla 5. Could you explain where to find this 'legacy setting'? Thanks

Found it.

'The Description text field added to the JCE Media Field in the last udpated has caused some issues for some users who were accessing the field value directly from the database in Yootheme Dynamic Content and other extension functions. Adding the Description field required that the Media Field value be saved as a JSON string, containing values for both the URL and Description fields, ie: {"media_src":"","media_text":""} instead of a single value for the URL as before the update.

A Legacy Media Support option has been added in the Field - Media JCE plugin parameters to remove the Description text field and restore the single URL value. Once enabled, existing affected JCE Media Fields should be re-saved to restore the single value.

The option can bse set in System -> Manage -> Plugins in Joomla 4 and Joomla 5 or Extensions -> Plugins in Joomla 3. Search for Field - Media JCE , click the entry to edit it and enable the option if required.'

Just to clarify this, the articles containing the fields need to be saved, not the fields themselves.
