Another image rotator question

Is it possible with CMS builder to have upload images go to one directory and for the built thumbnails to be placed into another directory? If I want to use a simple dynamic script to pull all the thumbnail images only to display onto an image rotator, then only the thumbnail images need to be in a separate directory.

If you are comfortable modifying PHP code and want to add it to your v1.09 right away, you can try this:
Open /lib/menus/default/uploadForm_functions.php. Save a backup copy of this file first. Then search for "_thumb" (that should only match one line) and replace that line with this:
$thumbSavePath = $createThumbnail ? preg_replace("|([^/]+)$|", "thumb/$1", $uploadSavePath) : "";Then search for "$uploadUrl, $thumbSavePath" (that should only match one line) and replace that line with this:
$thumbUrl = $createThumbnail ? preg_replace("|([^/]+)$|", "thumb/$1", $fileUploadUrl) : "";Then search for "open source image" (that should only match one line) and replace that line with this:
// create target dir
$dir = dirname($targetPath);
if (!file_exists($dir)) { mkdir_recursive($dir); }
// open source imageThat will make it so all thumbnails created after that change will be created with the same filename in a subdirectory called "/thumb/" under the upload dir.
Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,
I did exactly as you said in the posted reply for modifying the code. I got errors stating the directory could not be created but realized it was a permissions issue. I manually created the directory (/thumb/) and changed the permissions to it and it works.
However, when I went to delete the new test record, I got this message from the admin screen:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document. Error processing resource 'http://www.domainname.com/cmsAdm...
<b>Notice</b>: Use of undefined constant mysql_affected_rows - assumed 'mysql_affected_rows' in <b>/usr/h...
"
I can hit "back" on the browser and the listing is deleted but the error needs not to occur and the customer won't accept this of course.
Am I relegated to restoring the original uploadForm_functions.php page? I really need the thumbnails in a separate directory.

Sounds like we're almost there. See this post on fixing that error with mysql_affected_rows:

All these changes (and your suggestions) will be in v1.10 so you won't need to apply them again.
Hope that helps!
