UserFilesPath custom setting ignored-CFM

I tried setting the path in my global file to no avail, so I even put it directly in the script below, still nothing. It ignores it and creates a new folder in my directory structure called UserFiles.

<cfscript>
// Calculate basepath for FCKeditor. It's in the folder right above _samples
basePath = #request.fckeditoraddress#;

fckEditor = createObject("component", "#basePath#FCKeditor");
fckEditor.instanceName = "content";
fckEditor.userFilesPath = "/uploads/";
fckEditor.ToolbarSet = 'Verticals' ;

fckEditor.value = '#Variables.content#';
fckEditor.basePath = basePath;
fckEditor.width = "400";
fckEditor.height = 500;
fckEditor.create(); // create the editor.
</cfscript>

RE: UserFilesPath custom setting ignored-CFM

This is driving me crazy! Where is the application.cfm supposed to reside? Seems like the only place I can get it to work is if I put it in the fckeditor folder, but then it won't read my session variables, which I need so that it will put it in separate user folders. This has taken up most of my day; way harder to install than Activedit, which is a shame since this editor seems soooo much better. It seems like you should be able to pass this value when you instantiate the component. In my desparation I installed cffm, but I can't get it to read sessin vars either. And I made sure that FCKConfig.PreserveSessionOnFileBrowser = true ;

RE: UserFilesPath custom setting ignored-CFM

I did. I discovered that the fckeditor needs to be downstream from where the application.cfm resides, like this:

root
-- subfolder (where application.cfm resides that has the user session folder I want it to pick up)
----fckeditor
----CMS (where the content editing area resides)

instead of

root
--subfolder
----CMS
--fckeditor

but it still won't pick up the session vars for the user folder. This is critical, since this is an online CMS shared by many clients.

Offcourse it doesn't.
This is basic ColdFusion stuff.

What you can do is create an Application.cfm file in the fckeditor directory, and cfinclude the Application.cfm located in the subfolder.
Or you could place your Application.cfm in the root folder.

RE: UserFilesPath custom setting ignored-CFM

Okay, in case anyone else is having this issue, here's how I solved it. I don't use Application.cfm in my apps; never have. When I tried to include my globals file (app_globals.cfm) in the new Application.cfm file I had to create to make this fckeditor work I'd get an XML 500 error. So what I had to do, so that it would read my session vars, is insert the cfapplication tag in my Application.cfm file. I hate having duplicate code somewhere (now I have to remember it's there in case it changes), but it worked.

RE: UserFilesPath custom setting ignored-CFM

I never use application.cfm. My cfapplication tag resides in app_globals.cfm.

I did take the time to read the documentation and also hours and hours pouring through this forum, and if I was only having to have everyone go to the same folder, you are correct, I would not need the cfapplication tag, but since I'm using session vars to direct each user to their own folder, it appears that I do. The duplication is that the cfapplication call now resides in both my app_globals and this new application.cfm tag.

BTW, I also had tried set the userFilesPath just before the call and it did not work.
