Upload files in different directories?

If I understand the question correctly then the answer is yes. You want to allow multiple people to manage thier own files but you want them to limit them to only their own files. In order to do this you just need to make a few small changes with the FCK File Browser and FCK Upload files. I use ASP so I need to edit the follow files:

fckeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\default\connectors\asp\config.asp
fckeditor\editor\filemanager\upload\asp\config.asp

If you use a different language you need to notify those files e.g. config.php

In each of the above files there is a variable called ConfigUserFilesPath, you just need to programmability set this variable. This is what I did:

ConfigUserFilesPath = "/cmsfiles/" & session("username")

and in the page that creates the FCK Editor object I set session("username") = username before I create the FCK Editor object

The end result is that

ConfigUserFilesPath = "/cmsfiles/username1" - when username1 is logged in
ConfigUserFilesPath = "/cmsfiles/username2" - when username2 is logged in

This means that username1 can only see the files in the username1 directory. If you need to make it more secure generate a random directory name for each user and append or prepend that to the ConfigUserFilesPath variable. As long as username1 always has the same random name then there should be no problems.

I've used a similar function vefore using cookies that works well in ASP. Anyone know how to get this to work well in PHP?

I understand this perfectly, but how do you get the username from file where the object is created, to the ConfigUserFilesPath var?

Almost every server side scripting environment/language has support for session variables. You could set a session variable on the pages the create the FCK Editor. You already have people logging in so you already have the usernames somewhere either in a cookie, a form field, a session variable, a querystring variable etc. Below is some pseudo code:

--------- FCK Editor Page -------------------------
if session("username") <> null
session("username") = cookie("username")
end if

Set oFCKeditor = New FCKeditor
oFCKeditor.BasePath = sBasePath
oFCKeditor.height = 400
oFCKeditor.width = 528
oFCKeditor.Value = pagecontent
oFCKeditor.Create "pagecontent"
set oFCKeditor = nothing

---------------------------------------------------
------------ Config.php or Config.asp etc ---------
ConfigUserFilesPath = "/cmsfiles/" & session("username")

I have a SESSION that keeps track of users, but have the same problem with trying to upload to different directories by setting the UserFilesPath depending on SESSION variable settings.
The SESSION variables are NOT preserved from the page where the FCK Editor is created, to the config.php file in the
editor\filemanager\browser\default\connectors\php directory. I am testing this by clicking on insert/edit image button in the editor and then the window that pops up has no access to the SESSION, perhaps due to it being a javascript.

If I have a variable $_SESSION['storeuser'] working fine in the main PHP file, how can I preserve it for use in the config.php files? Would be very glad to hear of a solution that works )
Thanks,

It's works for me with php!

My Edit page is 'edit.php'

at the top

<?php 
session_name();
session_start();
$_SESSION["somepath"] = '/users/someuser/';
?>

and then in connector.php
at the start

session_start();
$somepath = $_SESSION["somepath"];

and

if ( isset( $Config['UserFilesPath'] ) )
$GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
else if ( isset( $_GET['ServerPath'] ) )
$GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] = $_GET['ServerPath'] ;
else {
$GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] = $somepath;

}
