Upload image folder?

[thune]

Maybe there is something that I missed, but when I click Gallery - > New and choose image for uploading I just get an empty window with no images and the message "There is no image in this folder". But which folder is this? If it's the images folder in the media manager, it's not empty.

I'm running todays Joomla SVN.

Hi,

see https://www.phoca.cz/phocagallery/ - Installation.

Phoca Gallery creates folder in the image folder, the path is:

image/phocagallery/... this is the main (root) folder for Phoca Gallery images

Ok, thanks. Since the Joomla Media Manager handles my documents and images I had set up my Media Manager to point to a folder "files" (with subfolders images and documents) instead of the default images - folder. I guess that wasn't the most clever thing to do, but I really don't like uploading documents in a folder called images.

So what I would really like is to change this path to files/images. Would that be possible?

Yes, it is, but you must do changes in source code:
- in administration area
- in frontend

Frontend (components/com_phocagallery/helpers/phocagallery.php):
$path['orig_abs_ds']
$path['orig_abs']
$path['orig_rel_ds']


Backend (administrator/components/com_phocagallery/helpers/phocagallery.php):
$path['orig_abs_ds']
$path['orig_abs']
$path['orig_rel_ds']


You will see the values in the code

Thanks for the help. This works really good. This is in my opinion the best gallery solution for Joomla at moment. And I have used them all. Simple and elegant

Great, thank you for your opinion

The folder structure in Phoca Gallery 3.15 is much different from older versions. Can you please inform me what files / lines to change to change the default upload folder /images/phocagallery to another location (i.e.: /images/gallery-pics/)
