Restoring TV Image Previews in Evolution CMS 2.0.3
A small but important manager-side troubleshooting note for Evolution CMS 2.0.3 when image TVs save correctly but no longer show previews in the backend.
A original thread from the Evolution 2 period described a frustrating manager-side bug: the TV itself worked, the image uploaded correctly, but the preview inside the backend never appeared.
That sort of issue is easy to underestimate because the data is not actually lost. The break happens in the editor experience, which still matters when clients need confidence that the right file was attached.
What this usually points to
- A manager-side preview path mismatch.
- A changed file-browser configuration after the upgrade.
- A JavaScript or theme-layer issue affecting how image previews are rendered.
The durable lesson is that TV previews are part of editorial usability, not just decoration. If the file value is stored but the preview disappears, the right fix is to trace the preview renderer and file path logic instead of re-uploading the same image again and again.
