Files uploading in the wrong directory?

After the update to 2.5 I have been having problems with the files uploading to the /userfiles/ directory instead of the original /userfiles/image/ or /userfiles/file/ directories.

I am using the ASP connector and I have the two setting correct in the config file:

Dim ConfigIsEnabled
ConfigIsEnabled = True

Dim ConfigUseFileType
ConfigUseFileType = True

This is causing SERIOUS issued with the existing file structures and I need to know if I can do anything to resolve this before files get too out of hand!

Please advise!

It looks like the online demo has the same problem!

That's strange, because there is no "ConfigUseFileType" setting in 2.5. Look carefully at the file and you'll see that you are doing it wrong.

Re: Files uploading in the wrong directory?

Ok, so I see the errors of my ways... The /filemanager/upload/ is not used and I was editing the config.asp in there... my bad...

However, I have the connector activated, and tested it and still get the same results?

I don't know if just allowing uploads is all I need to do, I would "assume" that the system would follow the old patterns and put the files in the /image/ and /file/ directories to maintain backwards compatibility with previous versions. But being new to FCKEditor and this Open Source process, I just don't know.

I don't see where I tell the config.asp file to put the files in the appropriate directories?

The file manager is not very well documented, so a little more specific help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Files uploading in the wrong directory?

Well as it wrote the above post, I realized that assuming anything is always going to get me into trouble!
And this was no different.

So after investigating the config.asp file (oh did I mention that I am a Cold Fusion programmer, not ASP), my fears of backwards compatibility directly from the installation was in fact justifiable.

The config.asp file is NOT set up to follow the file structure of 2.4.3 and below, so here are the changes needed:

' existing
ConfigQuickUploadPath.Add "File", ConfigUserFilesPath
' change to use previous file sturcture
ConfigQuickUploadPath.Add "File", ConfigUserFilesPath & "file/"

' existing
ConfigQuickUploadPath.Add "Image", ConfigUserFilesPath
' change to use previous file sturcture
ConfigQuickUploadPath.Add "Image", ConfigUserFilesPath & "image/"

' existing
ConfigQuickUploadPath.Add "Flash", ConfigUserFilesPath
' change to use previous file sturcture
ConfigQuickUploadPath.Add "Flash", ConfigUserFilesPath & "flash/"

' existing
ConfigQuickUploadPath.Add "Media", ConfigUserFilesPath
' change to use previous file sturcture
ConfigQuickUploadPath.Add "Media", ConfigUserFilesPath & "media/"

Re: Files uploading in the wrong directory?

The default configuration in previous versions for the uploader was to not use the File type, so in the current default configuration it's backwards compatible with the previous default configuration, and now you can control exactly the behavior of both the file browser and the uploader. Taking a little time to read the configuration file and check the differences pays the price.
