Custom upload directory to point at different domain

Hi Paul,

If you have the full path to that folder on the server, you should be able to use it. You will have to use the complete path. You'll also need to change the url path to use the other domain name.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jason,

That works great apart from one issue.

When editing the page in CMSB the uploaded image details are present, but the actual image does not show which makes it very tricky to manage the content.

This seems to be due to the 'Upload Directory' and 'Upload Folder URL' settings in the 'general settings' part of CMSB.

I could change them to match however one additional point I need to make is that CMSB is serving 2 domains (which are both part of the same dealer network but the brands are very much separate). For example:

CMSB upload directory:
national/cms-hub/uploads/

CMSB Upload Folder URL:
//uploads/


I am using the 'Use custom upload directory' for the images to point to the relevant folders for each domain:

-----------

Brand 1 Directory Path:
national/cms-brand1/uploads/model-images/

Brand 1 Folder Url:
/uploads/model-images/

-----------

Brand 2 Directory Path:
national/cms-brand2/uploads/model-images/

Brand 2 Folder Url:
/uploads/model-images/

-----------

Any suggestions on how to get round it? If at all possible I would like to avoid modifing any code that will be overwritten by any CMSB upgrades.

Thanks :)

Hi Jason,

I contacted and spoke to one of you with regards to licensing before we made the purchase (Donna Brown from memory), and still have a copies of the emails (will have to dig them out when at work), as I was concerned about that very issue and actively researched it to seek assurance. The way our dealer network works means it is essential that there is one login/database for dealers as they can be part of multiple franchises but under the one account.

So far we have bought 3 licenses for various projects and multiple plugins. I feel a little put out by your comment, to be honest, and I am putting it down to a mis-understanding.

If you wish to take it further then I would appreciate it if it was done privately. If we need to buy another license then so be it.

With regards to the technical issue, I understand the limitation and will try to work round it as best as I can.

Thank you for your prompt support as always.

Kind Regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

Sorry, sounds like there may be some misunderstanding.

Can you send all the details into orders@interactivetools.com and I will certainly take a look and follow-up with you.

Thanks!

Hi Damon,

Details sent :)

Kind Regards

Paul

OK now that's sorted (thanks for confirming everything is OK guys!), does anyone else have any suggestions?

Try putting the full url in front of the echo statement like this:

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com<?php echo $upload[urlPath'] ?>"

Hi Kenny. Already doing that :)

There seems to be no way round this after looking at it today. Consider this thread closed.

Thank you all :)

Paul
