When we try to use the 'file' button in the default textarea (eventDescHTML) of Perch Events, the system allows the selection and saving of an asset but the output, rather than being a link to the asset on the page, is simply:
[cms:asset 412]
Here's the region code
<perch:events id="eventDescHTML" type="textarea" textile="true" size="s" editor="markitup" encode="false" />
This works correctly in other textarea fields in the same template. It also works correctly in the Blog app, which we're using on the same site.
This is also true for images in the default textarea.
I've tried it on another site and got the same behaviour.
If this is a new build I would advise against using the Events app unless you really need a calendar view.
No these are both established installations. They're just broken by the P3 update.
It's probably worth holding off on upgrading the live version to Perch 3 then.
Too late. This is a feature that gets used sometimes in a larger site that otherwise works fine, so it didn't come to light immediately. I put in a workaround for now.
