Another image rotator question

Dave and Co.,

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.

Sure, we've had two requests for that now. I've added it to v1.10.

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 image

That 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 Terry,

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!
