- # 31162
Steps to reproduce the issue
Create a new "files" folder at root, then create an "images" sub-folder in it, then create a "test" sub-folder in it.
Result should be : website_root/files/images/test
Change images path in media manager parameters to : files/images
Setup a new custom field, select "images list" type and try to choose test from folder parameter in first tab.
Expected result
We should see "test" folder in list.
Actual result
We get "website_root/images" content in list.
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.9.22.
Linux Debian 9.

Sorry but it have ...
The description is wrong.
Ok but if we are logic it should be like this ...
Almost all extensions or function that need to get an image look for this parameter's value ...
Whatever i fixed this problem with symbolic link on server but it should be more easy ...
Ok for the string correction.
But why this should not be tied to com_media in any way ?
I guess simply because someone could use a different media(-manager),but still would have to use part of its configuration (image path)?
Having a string(-list) in either configuration.php (or db-like) of image-dirs would help to create a array of dirs for public images..

Ok i understand the idea but as the only one place to configure media root and images path are in com_media,
why not rely on it ??
Or there should be a path parameter in field ...

Image list field has no relation to Media component.
