This is a longstanding issue going back to the FCKeditor days. I am trying to upgrade to CKeditor 4.x (with CKFinder licenses), but this upload issue is holding up the purchase.
This site has a pre-existing structure that already has user upload locations pre-defined. Thousands of users able to upload to their respective user folder only. Each user has one folder to upload to. There is no subfolder for resource type and none is desired.
I am using ColdFusion and setting upload directories and authorization via session variables and config.cfm.
In the past with the old system I edited the FCKeditor file manager myself to eliminate this quirk -- many years ago I collaborated on one of the CF connectors that became part of an early FCKeditor version -- however the CKFinder code is quite a bit more complex and I wanted to see if this problem has been addressed via a feature.
It has to be in there somewhere. I can't imagine a product that forces its own idea of a file structure on a customer without recourse.
In case I am unclear, if I programmatically set the upload folder to c:\uploads\user123, the image will arrive at c:\uploads\user123\images, which breaks the web site. All resource types should upload to the location I specify.
OK I figured it out. For
OK I figured it out. For anyone else searching the forum looking for this answer:
In config.cfm, look for the config.resourceType array. There you will see url and directory settings that you can easily adjust.
