Re: [Tiki-users] How to specify an image by path?

Mmm…

Let’s look at your end-game, what you want.

> but I wanted to specify a file name rather than an id,

For what I know img doesn’t know “filename”, so this cannot be achieved with the plugin img.

What I would suggest is to use a plugin list and look for “filename” (it is indexed).
And then display the image (we are talking about image here) with a wikiplugin or HTML as output.

It will be a lot of line of parameters/code in your page.
But, once you have this you can keep it like this or create with this a plugin aliases that is waiting for the filename to display an images (much more shorter).

Some caveats from experience, you may have some issues with very short filename better to have distinct filenames in one word. (Underscore and dashes do not count ;-) )
Not all is Tiki, some mysql, mariaDB, elasticSearch settings are involved…

Hope this helps,
Bernard
