Change the default path

[Zappu]

and some hints, do not change the gallery path which appears as images/phocagallery only, you need also to change the other path definitions like:

Code: Select all

		
$path['orig_abs_ds'] 	= JPATH_ROOT . DS . 'images' . DS . 'stories' . DS . 'phocagallery' . DS ;
$path['orig_abs'] 	= JPATH_ROOT . DS . 'images' . DS . 'stories' . DS . 'phocagallery' ;

Hi,

Has anyone done this recently? I cannot see the helpers directories. It seems like the manner in which this is done has been changed - and pointers much appreciated.

Would I be right that this has now been moved into (under the admin section):

./libraries/phocagallery/path/path.php: $instance->image_abs = JPATH_ROOT . DS . 'images' . DS . 'phocagallery' . DS ;
./libraries/phocagallery/path/path.php: $instance->avatar_abs = JPATH_ROOT . DS . 'images' . DS . 'phocagallery' . DS . 'avatars' . DS ;


Thanks,

BigMan

I´d like to bump this one
Anyone know any solution for changing path?

Hi, if you are using Joomla! 3, the file to edit is stored here:

administrator\components\com_phocagallery\libraries\phocagallery\path\path.php

But as I wrote, I didn't test it, so there can be some dependencies in other parts of the code

So the path should be changed in this file and then tested if it does not break any other feature in the system

Changed:

Code: Select all

$instance->image_abs 			= JPATH_ROOT . DS . 'images' . DS . 'phocagallery' . DS ;

			$instance->image_rel			= 'images/phocagallery';

To:

Code: Select all

$instance->image_abs 			= JPATH_ROOT . DS . 'images' . DS ;

			$instance->image_rel			= 'images/';

And it works, But I have to add all images manually? Is there any way to automaticly detect photos in folder?

Thanks for great help!

Hi, no, you need to copy them to the folder you need and you need to check if the thumbnail creation will work with such folder

Can anyone help me? I'm try to change the path to:

Code: Select all

$instance->image_rel = "//192.168.200.140/images/sources/";

But I'm getting this error:
JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: \192.168.200.140\images\sources\
JFolder: :folder: Path is not a folder. Path: \192.168.200.140\images\sources\

Hi, this means, that the path is not correct and Joomla! methods cannot find any such path on your server

Hi Jan, thanks for the quick response. Here's my scenario, Joomla is located in 192.168.200.180 and I'm trying to change the default image directory to 192.168.200.140. So whenever the admin uploads anything, it will save it in 192.168.200.140. Is that even possible?

I finally found a way to make it work!

I used a symbolic link in windows to link the local directory to a network path.

Code: Select all

mklink /D C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla\images \\192.168.200.180\repository\images 

I know this has nothing to do with this joomla component but I hope it helps someone who has the same issue.
