[solved] setting the ckfinder upload directories dynamically

I'm trying to set the upload folders dynamically based on a session variable of $_SESSION['own_id'];

I tried this

$assoc_id = $_SESSION['own_id'];
$baseUrl = '/assets/assoc/'.$assoc_id.'/';

and this - $baseUrl = '/assets/assoc/'.$_SESSION['own_id'].'/';

$baseDir = '/home/assoc/public_html/assets/assoc/'.$assoc_id.'/';
& $baseDir = '/home/assoc/public_html/assets/assoc/'.$_SESSION['kt_own_id'].'/';

but for some reason the $_SESSION['own_id'] is not being read - because many users have access to the same area I need to create private upload areas for each user so users see only there own images and not the others.

What I'm try to get is this

$baseUrl = '/assets/assoc/14003';

$baseDir = '/home/assoc/public_html/assets/assoc/14003;

with 14003 being the dynamic value of the folder created on the server

Maybe the question I should be asking is how to pass the $_SESSION['own_id'] into the config.php

Does anyone have an idea how this can be done ?

Thanks

Re: setting the ckfinder upload directories dynamically

Use php to call the editor (Include ckeditor.php, create a new CKEditor object, etc.). Then you can setup a config array and assign dynamic values. I just demoed this for someone in another thread, so you should be able to find that if you can't get it on your own.

Re: [SOLVED} setting the ckfinder upload directories dynamic

ok here is what I did - maybe not the best way but it works and that is all I cared about.

In the /ckfinder/config.php

First included the connection file on the first line of the page

<?php include("association.php"); ?> For some reason Require Once did not work.

I then created the record set at the beginning of the file using dreamweaver which created the session variable I needed, tip though move the connection file to the ckfinder directory first.

Next I moved all this code that Dreamweaver created :

if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 
{
  $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;    
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}
}

$colname_rsownid = "-1";
if (isset($_SESSION['own_id'])) {
  $colname_rsownid = $_SESSION['own_id'];
}
mysql_select_db($database_association, $association);
$query_rsownid = sprintf("SELECT * FROM associations WHERE assoc_id = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_rsownid, "int"));
$rsownid = mysql_query($query_rsownid, $association) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsownid = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsownid);
$totalRows_rsownid = mysql_num_rows($rsownid);

To just above the $baseUrl setting

Next I set this as follows

$baseUrl = '/assets/assoc/'.$_SESSION['own_id'].'/';

and the $baseDir as follows

$baseDir = '/home/assoc/public_html/assets/assoc/'.$_SESSION['own_id'].'/';

and that was it - but this will not work unless you add this session_start();

here like this at the beginning of the file

<?php include("association.php"); ?>
<?php
session_start();
