File Browser Issue

When ever I click the "Browse Server" button in the Link menu, it takes me to the folder will uploads go. I want to link the root of the site so that users can link to other pages within the site. I'm not sure what to change in the config.php file.

$WA_EditorLocalRoot = '/';
$WA_EditorRemoteRoot = '/';

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'images/uploads/';
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = $EditorAssumedRoot.$Config['UserFilesPath'];

Everything works fine with uploads and for adding an image (since the the File Browser is defaulting to to images/uploads folder.

Ideally, I would like the Link menu file browser to link to the root and and the Image menu file browser to link to the images/uploads folder.

If that isn't possible, I want to file browser to open up to the root of the site.

Thanks

in the config.php page, the code that sets the file browser for files is:
$Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . '' ;

you can change that to point to the root of the site instead of using the UserFilesPath

Jason,

So I leave line 42 alone ($Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'images/uploads/';) but change line 137 from this:

$Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . '' ;

to this:

$Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = '' ;

Is that correct? I tried this and it didn't change anything.

Thanks

Brett

rather than leave the setting blank:
$Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = '' ;

set it to /
$Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = '/' ;

Jason,

That isn't working. This is page I'm editing:

HTMLEditor\editor\filemanager\connectors\php

Here is what I think is the applicable code - Lines 41-52:

// Path to user files relative to the document root.
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'images/uploads/';
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = $EditorAssumedRoot.$Config['UserFilesPath'];

// Fill the following value it you prefer to specify the absolute path for the
// user files directory. Useful if you are using a virtual directory, symbolic
// link or alias. Examples: 'C:\\MySite\\userfiles\\' or '/root/mysite/userfiles/'.
// Attention: The above 'UserFilesPath' must point to the same directory.
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '' ;
if (isset($_SERVER['APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH'])) {
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = str_replace("\\","/",$_SERVER['APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH']) . substr($Config['UserFilesPath'],1);
}

Lines 138-142:

// $Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . '' ;
$Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = '/' ;
$Config['FileTypesAbsolutePath']['File']= ($Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] == '') ? '' : $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] ;
$Config['QuickUploadPath']['File'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
$Config['QuickUploadAbsolutePath']['File']= $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] ;

Thanks

are you using the advanced file manager?


if so, you will need to edit the plugin/kfm/configuration.php file.


there should be a line that looks like this:
$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../../../images/uploads';

change it to:
$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../../../';


and there should be another line that looks like:
$kfm_userfiles_output = 'images/uploads/';


change that one to:
$kfm_userfiles_output = '/';

Jason,

We're getting there!

I'm able to browse from the root up...yahoo!!!

BUT...

When I select a file, it is adding an extra "/" to the beginning of the URL. For example:

<a href="//images/uploads/Florida Crown Results - Site Contest 2009.pdf" target="_self">

What now?

It also was restricting the PHP extension so I changed this line...

$kfm_banned_extensions = array('asp','cfm','cgi','ini','php3','php4','php5','phtm','pl','sh','shtm','shtml','ico');

...and it fixed it.

The comment on this line refers to uploads though - is that just an error in the comment text?

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

Brett

try removing the last slash from those two lines:
change it to:
$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../../..';

$kfm_userfiles_output = '';
