How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

Hi
When images are uploaded, the path returned looks like
img src="/path/to/image.jpg"
How can I prepend the full URL to this, i.e.
img src="http://www.mysite.com/path/to/image.jpg"
I could pass this in as a session variable or something from outside the editor, I'd just like to know which file to modify - I suspect it's the one in the Image or File popup that shows the path... but suggestions would be appreciated from those in the know

cheers

RE: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

Hi
Thanks, but the paths in those files are not complete URLs, they are relative and absolute paths. So you end up with img src="/var/www/blah.jpg"
I need to turn this into a full URL - img src="http://wwww.blah.com/blah.jpg" and you can't do that in the config files, it has to be a hack.
cheers

RE: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

then how is it that this works for me without any kind of hack?

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'http://www.mydomain.com/userfiles/' ;
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = 'd:\\inetpub\\mydomain\\docs\\' ;

Did you even try?

RE: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

OK.. you got me.. that does work! The comments in config.php say:
// Path to user files relative to the document root.
$Config['UserFilesPath']

which is not the same as "full URL to files," but it's great that it does work, and let's hope that this continues to work in future versions - thanks for the help!

RE: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

I did it by having my site editor set a cookie, then i had to edit the connectors to read the cookie and update the path to the images and where the files will be uploaded and the CSS link in the config file.

I can send you the files if you are interested.

RE: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

Hi,
i would be interessted to in how to cheat the paths within the Uploadmanager!
My problem is, that the internal path fits not the needs of my webapp so i have to configure them everytime by hand :-(
Do you think your changes will also work for the Java-Servlet? I'm jusing the JSP-Connector.

Every help would be appreciated :-)
Thank you!

Regards, Marcus

RE: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

I did mine using perl and its connectors, i'm guessing there would not be a lot of carryover.

RE: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

I'm using the PHP connector, but if you tell me what you did for Perl it should be straightforward to do the same for PHP. My guess is that once the file is selected in the browser and that window closes, there is code that populates the Image popup with the path of the selected file. So I would guess that prepending the URL just before that point would make the full URL appear in the Image popup and everything would be good from there... ?

RE: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

hi,

i had the same problem. I was refered to this link: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? ... _id=257180

Instead of using:
fileUrl = top.opener.FCKConfig.FullBasePath.substr(0, top.opener.FCKConfig.FullBasePath.length - top.opener.FCKConfig.BasePath.length) + fileUrl;

I hardcoded my url:
fileUrl = 'http://mysite' + fileUrl;

And this work for me now.

Re: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

erm... i'm stuck on the same problem.
i just posted q question on the same topic.
i'm lost in the discussions above.
is ther a short and easy way to get absolute paths...?

what's wrong with using something like: "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/"
(i'm not a php expert... i just got this code for something else i was working on git given this snippet for the problem i had for getting absolute paths.)

problem: i can't figure out where i shouild put the above code (assuming its a solution).

thanks.

Re: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

Maybe my 'HOWTO - Get absolute urls with the filemanager' can be of any help.

Re: How to prepend URL to uploaded img path

thanks for the reply.

when i click on 'browse server', it doesnt siplay the contents of the server.
there's an error icon on the bottom left of the window.

when i put the old code back: the problem goes away.
