Using Image TVs Correctly in Slider Markup

A very common template bug is to assume that an image TV stores only a file name, then prepend a hard-coded directory path in markup. If the TV already contains the final path, the result is broken output.

Problem Pattern

<img src="assets/images/project/[[*img1]]" />

When the TV already stores the full path, the correct output is simply:

<img src="[[*img1]]" />

Why This Matters

• it prevents doubled paths
• it keeps template logic simpler
• it avoids breaking sliders and lightboxes when editors change storage conventions

Always inspect what the TV really stores before building URL logic around it.
