Re: [robin] Notice: CMSB v2.10 Beta!

Love the new 'copy an existing section' feature. A big timesaver for me!

When specifying a custom upload field, the example paths provided show the custom upload directory specified in the General Settings, appended with 'custom/'. Is it possible to make 'custom/' go away and just show the URL indicated in General Settings? I like to copy/paste from the examples to save time.

For directory path, instead of:
Example: /vservers/mysite/htdocs/cmsb-images2/custom/

Show only:
Example: /vservers/mysite/htdocs/cmsb-images2/

(same for folder url)


Thanks

Hey Deborah,

I'm not sure what/where you mean about the /custom/ showing up at the end of the custom upload directory? In my testing the default is the same as the path set in the general settings.

Thanks!

When 'Use Custom Upload Directory' is checked, the Directory Path and Folder URL form fields show examples them. It is in the examples that the 'custom/' appears.

Hmmm. It occurs to me now that 'custom/' is probably there to indicate how to create a sub-folder.

The way I usually set up my directory structure is to indicate a collective folder in the general settings then place sub-folders within it. In prior versions I could click the 'reset' link and the form fields would be pre-filled with the default directory and I could simply type my sub-directory name after the trailing slash. Now I don't have a way to pre-populate the fields and must copy/paste from the example below and then type over 'custom'.

I guess I just got used to doing things a certain way, but it's not a big deal and probably not an issue for others.

Hi Deborah,

Both of the examples below the fields work, so you can enter the full path if you want or just the relative path.

Try just typing your subdirectory with a trailing slash. Example:
Directory Path: my-subdir/
Folder URL: my-subdir/

It should automatically figure out that that goes under your regular upload folder.

Let me know if that works for you.

Sorry, but this isn't working for me or I'm not understanding something. Here's what I have...

GENERAL SETTINGS:
Upload Directory = /vservers/mysite/htdocs/beta-images/
Upload Folder URL = /beta-images/

UPLOAD FIELD EDITOR SETTINGS:
Directory Path = test1/
Folder URL = test1/

The image is uploaded to the correct directory and the thumbnail is created, but the resulting image paths are incorrect (as shown in the admin and in the generated code).

Here are the URLs resulting from the above settings:
http://www.mysite.com/test1/thumb/image1.jpg

Do I have something indicated wrong? Thanks.

Hi Deborah,

Hmm, I think that may be a bug because it should work. I'll email you an updated version to test.

Stay tuned. :)
