   Hi everybody,
   I have a small issue with the Mini Loops plugin. I'm trying to get the URL to an image.

   I created a custom field using the Magic fields plugin. The field is called "sidebar_thumb".
   When I try to fetch the image in the widget:[ml_image from=customfield cfname=sidebar_thumb] I get a wrong URL.

   This is what I get:
   http://www.mydomain.de/1328357526sidebarthumb_test.jpg
   and this would be the right URL:
   http://www.mydomain.de/wp-content/files_mf/1328357526sidebarthumb_test.jpg

   I have no idea what the problem might be. I could understand if Mini Loops couldn't access the Magic Fields info at all. But changing the URL?

   Any ideas are much appreciated!

   Cheers
   Hendrik

   Hi hendrikvb,

   I think "Mini Loops" is accessing the data just fine but is unaware what the data is. For all it knows, it's an image in the public_html folder.

   "Magic Fields" has it's own function to retrieve an image directly from the wp-content/files_mf folder:

   <?php echo get_image('sidebar_thumb'); ?>

   With that it should get the whole image folder without a problem.
