Upload Folder problem Can't Post

IT Staff and friends,



I am trying to change the upload's folder to get it out of the cmsAdmin directory. I have a client that is concerned that the path to the images they upload shows cmsAdmin.

I changed the 'Upload URL' in 'General Settings' to be /img/uploads/ , which if I am reading the documentation correctly should do the trick and place all uploads in the /imgs/uploads/ directory off of the website root. When I upload an image in the WYSIWYG editor the image does not appear in the Uploaded Files dialog box, but only shows the typical missing image box with the red 'X'. if I go ahead and click on the insert link, even though the image isn't showing, the WYSIWYG editor completes the task and the image url is displayed as /img/uploads/moviepopcorn.jpg just what I would expect, but there is no image in the page.

After looking in the /img/upload/ directory, the file does not exist...in fact I can't find it anyplace.

Am I missing something? Is the WYSIWYG editor upload not reading the Upload URL from the General Settings, or Am I way off base?

BTW using v2.13...

Thanks,

Kurt

Hi Kurt,

If you want to upload to the folder img/uploads, and the folder img is in the root of the website (one level up from CMS Builder), try this:

change Upload Directory to "../img/uploads/"
and then change Upload Folder URL to "/img/uploads/"

That should take care of the issue for you.

Hope this helps

Jason, When I set the fields in General settings as you state here and save the page the leading ' / ' in the Upload Folder field is stripped off as is the leading ' .. ' in the Directory field.

Thanks,

Hi Kurt,

If you could fill out a 2nd Level Support Request I can take a closer look into this issue for you.
