FCK Editor - Configuring PHP Image Upload

I need the exact same thing. It's funny how hard it is to find that info here. You know someone besides ourselves needs this type of thing.

I'm subscribing to this post. Hope we get an answer soon.

If you haven't found the anser yet, here it is.

Be sure to put the session start code at the top of both pages. The page the editor is on, and the config page.

I commented out the line that was in the config.
Then I put in the session variable I created.

//$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/';
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = $_SESSION["this_dir"] ;

I'm still having trouble using this. Can you please spell it out Barney-style? I'm using the folder /projects/images for my path that I want to put images into.
Here's the original page that calls FCKeditor:

$newPath = "/projects/images";

<form action="postdata.php" method="post" target="_blank">
<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->Height = 600;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Config['UserFilesPath'] = $_SESSION[$newPath];
$oFCKeditor->Value = html_entity_decode(stripslashes($body));
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

and here's my code segment from config.php:
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = $_SESSION[$newPath];

of course the original$Config['UserFilesPath'] is commented out. I'm pretty sure all that is incorrect because I don't know how newPath would get passed over to the config page. And am I supposed to have the $oFCKeditor-> in front of the config or is it just the $Config['UserFilesPath'] in the original file also?

Ok - I got it now. Barney-style code instructions:

Inside file which calls the FCKeditor:

<?php session_start(); //this goes at the top of the page. ?>

<?php
$_SESSION["newPath"] = "/projects/images"; //you can replace this with a value passed into the page through a form or whatever
?>

<form action="postdata.php" method="post" target="_blank">
<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->Height = 600;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Config['UserFilesPath'] = $_SESSION["newPath"];
....etc
?>
...etc


in config.php file:

<?php
session_start(); //this goes at the top of the page.

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = $_SESSION["newPath"]; //this replaces what is currently set for userFilesPath
?>

That will allow you to insert images into a pre-defined or dynamically defined directory of your choice. Now I have to figure out how to view the files that are already there. when I try to do an upload I'd like to see the images that are currently in the directory so I can choose from them if I want to use one.

Disregard. I found the bug and it now works

The same problem, but the solution doesn't seem to work for me:
I'm running version 2.6.4 and I want to have each user to have his own directory for uploading files. I have the following code:

In file config.php:

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = "/blogger/images/{$_SESSION['usrid']}/" ;

In my file that uses FCKeditor:

session_start();
$userid=isset($_SESSION['usrid']) ? $_SESSION['usrid'] : false;
.....
include_once('fckeditor/fckeditor.php');
....
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('body') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = 'fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Config['UserFilesPath'] = "/blogger/images/{$_SESSION['usrid']}/";
$oFCKeditor->Value = $oBlog ? $oBlog->body : '';
$oFCKeditor->Width=700;
$oFCKeditor->Height = 400;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;

But the system seems to ignore the setting in my file and goes to the root level directory -- not to the subdirectory for the user. I have tried adding the following just before instantiating FCKeditor but it didn't solve the problem:

global $Config;
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = "/blogger/images/{$_SESSION['usrid']}/";

Anybody know what the problem is?

TIA,
Pete

Hi,
I also need to change the directory name of the upload files dynamicly
I have few forms, each form need to save the upload files in a seperate directory, which is different from the others.

I tried to something similar to :
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('body');
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = 'fck/';
$oFCKeditor->Width = 750;
$oFCKeditor->Height = 500;
$oFCKeditor->Value = $ed_body;
$oFCKeditor->Config['EnterMode'] = 'br';
$oFCKeditor->Config['UserFilesPath'] = $client_path;
$oFCKeditor->Create();

with no success.
What is the right and clear way to do it?
Shlomit.

I think you have to edit \editor\filemanager\connectors\php\commands.php
Maybe something in combination with $_POST()?

In folder \editor\filemanager\connectors\php\ you will find all files you need I suppose.

Interesting thread. I tried the SESSION method and it works when I do it with the demo files. But when I come to use it in my application it doesn't work. I think that has something to do with me already using session_start somewhere else.

I'll try again, but I was just wondering if anyone has another method that DOESN'T use SESSION variables ?

Thanks :~)

bump

So how do I get support ?
