Upload Absolute Path with Custom UserPathBuilder Impl

This one is really funny. Tweak as much as you want, it remains PHP Think about it.

Hence my post, I wasnt sure how the upload was taking place, but trying anything I could.

So, fair enough, and I will get and build the 2.5 snapshot. Once I do that, where _is_ the correct place for configuring the absolute file path for uploads?

I have this in fckeditor.properties

connector.userFilesPath=/opt/hosting/userfiles

What should my custom UserPathBuilder return? All or part of the path?


Thanks!

Michael,

Consider for a moment that no one else uses tagging and branching like you do. Not that either is wrong or right, but only different.

I have only one question at this time...

Where is the 2.5 documentation?

Thanks.

connector.userActionImpl=net.fckeditor.requestcycle.impl.UserActionImpl
connector.impl=net.fckeditor.connector.impl.LocalConnector
connector.userPathBuilderImpl=com.brightmove.ats.util.fckeditor.BrightMoveUserPathBuilder
connector.fullUrl=true
connector.secureImageUploads=true

FCKEditor User path: /opt/hosting/brightmove/userfiles/2

I found the properties.html, but I still need a little help on how to use it to achieve my goal. Thanks.

I have made a lot of progress. In my development env, I am using my Custom UserPathBuilder to return both the absolute path to save the files to on the OS, and the Context relative path to return and stick in the FCKEditor control. Everything works perfectly in dev.

My last remaining issue is involving deploying this to my QA environment which is clustered and the JBoss instances sit behind the Apache Mod_jk load balancer. The "connector.php" in the request is messing up something when apache parses the URL And decides to send it to JBoss or keep it within apache's scope.

IMHO, it would be nice to have a "Java" option in the fckconfig.js, rather than having is set to PHP and assuming there is nothing between the browser and the Servlet Container that might filter the request.

var _FileBrowserLanguage   = 'php' ;   // asp | aspx | cfm | lasso | perl | php | py
var _QuickUploadLanguage   = 'php' ;   // asp | aspx | cfm | lasso | perl | php | py

Would be nice to have it like

var _FileBrowserLanguage   = 'java' ;   // asp | aspx | cfm | lasso | perl | php | py
var _QuickUploadLanguage   = 'java' ;   // asp | aspx | cfm | lasso | perl | php | py

Then figure out an extention that would correlate to the servlet mapping, say 'fckj'.

Then you could have something like this in the servlet mapping

   <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>Connector</servlet-name>
      <!-- Do not wrap this line otherwise Glassfish will fail to load this file -->
      <url-pattern>/js/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/*.fckj</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>

This way you could get all PHP referneces out since it is an all java solution. What do you think? I might be forced to help implement if I cant figure out how to make the load balancer send the request on to JBoss.

Also, the 2.5 docs are good. I will try to send some examples of how the UserPathBuilder is overridden and how the return values translate to what operations take place when a file is uploaded or chosen.

I made this change in the fckconfig.js and tricked apache into not trying to interpret a PHP call and the connector successfully passed through mod_jk and is being handled by the ConnectorServlet.

var _FileBrowserLanguage   = 'fckj' ;   
var _QuickUploadLanguage   = 'fckj' ; 

Thanks for the assistance.
