#154 [filemanager] Set a specific directory for each file type

[Olivier Briat]

Hi,
if you add the fckeditor to an existing webiste,
there's chance that file, flash, image and media
folders already exist, with names that doesn't match
the fckeditor ones and not placed under the same directory.

So I add a way to specified a directory for each file
type for php and asp filemanager :
in the <fckeditor
dir>/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors

====PHP====

*edit php/config.php as follow :

add the follwing lines after each
"$Config['DeniedExtensions']" setting:

$Config['ConfigDirectories']['File'] = "your files dir";
$Config['ConfigDirectories']['Image'] = "your images
dir";
$Config['ConfigDirectories']['Flash'] = "your flash
dir";
$Config['ConfigDirectories']['Media'] = "your media
dir ";

*edit php/io.php as follow :

at the start of GetUrlFromPath and ServerMapFolder
functions add :
global $Config ;

then replace each use of :
$resourceType
by
$Config['ConfigDirectories'][$resourceType]

====ASP====

*edit asp/config.asp as follow :

at the end of the dictionnary definition add :
Set ConfigDirectories = CreateObject(
"Scripting.Dictionary" )

after each "ConfigDeniedExtensions.Add " setting add :
ConfigDirectories.Add "File", "your files dir"
ConfigDirectories.Add "Image", "your images dir"
ConfigDirectories.Add "Flash", "your flash dir"
ConfigDirectories.Add "Media", "your media dir"

*edit asp/io.asp as follow :

in the GetUrlFromPath and ServerMapFolder functions
replace each use of :
resourceType
by
ConfigDirectories.Item( resourceType)

Really thanks, i had this fu**ing issue on my free host and
i didnt know how to fix it without hacking the config
variables...

So, i used your method to make a good hack out of it!!

Thanks again

This simply doesn't work.

Still no other recoursetype than Image to select, no upload
ever works and no idea where the files should be placed.

I debug this on a windoze local machine, so rights are not
the issue.

Just thought i'd let people know - This does work dispite
the previous comment.

It's important to get the

$Config['UserFilesPath']
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath']

Variables (in
editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/config.php)
correct as well.

UserFilesPath controls the prefix prefixed to the
folder/file_name.xxx when insterted into the webpage (think
http://mysite.com/ as a value)

UserFilesAbsolutePath controls the starting point for all
media types. I had all my media files in "images" so i used
something similar to "/root/mysite/images" as a value.

I also changed 1 thing in io.php that isnt listed here...

Changed "if ( $resourceType == '' )" to "if ( $resourceType
== '' || $Config['ConfigDirectories'][$resourceType] == '')"
in function getUrlFromPath() as i set my media specific
paths to "" because i want 'em all in the images/ directory.

Anyway, coulda found this on my own, but nice to not have to
go searching through files w/o a starting point (osCommerce
anyone?)

Pay me to hack it for you? sean at syosis dot com

Is there any solution/example for COLDFUSION applications?

Thank you.

For cold fusion, I guest the folowing modification should do
the job :

*edit cfm/config.cfm as follow :

* add the following lines after
config.deniedExtensions["Media"] = ""; :

config.configDirectories["File"] = "your files dir";
config.configDirectories["Image"] = "your images dir";
config.configDirectories["Flash"] = "your flash dir";
config.configDirectories["Media"] = "your media dir ";

* then edit cfm/connector.cfm as follow :
replace each "& url.type"
by
"& config.configDirectories[url.type]"
(ignore the quotes)

ok, i just did it!
but it doesn't work ;-(

it is still creating this "Image" folder ....

any ideas as for the COLDFUSION to work?

thank you.

Two addendums to the coldfusion implementation (I struggled
a long time with this because of not actually looking at
what I was doing, just copying code...).

Below "config.deniedExtensions = structNew();",
add "config.ConfigDirectories = structNew();"
(without the quotes of course)!

Also, change line "<cfdirectory action="create"
directory="#userFilesServerPath##url.type#" mode="755">"
to "<cfdirectory action="create"
directory="#userFilesServerPath##config.ConfigDirectories[url.type]#"
mode="755">".

Further watch out for the following - I kept getting an
error in the xml and couldn't figure out why. At last I
realized that some of the filenames had illegal (for xml)
chars in them (not my doing!). So I changed the following in
connector.cfm:

"files = files & '<File name="#qDir.name[i]#" size="#IIf(
fileSizeKB GT 0, DE( fileSizeKB ), 1)#" />';""
to
"filename = qDir.name[i];
filename = replace(filename, "&", "&amp;", "ALL");
filename = replace(filename, "'", "&apos;", "ALL");
filename = replace(filename, """", "&aquot;", "ALL");
filename = replace(filename, "<", "&gt;", "ALL");
filename = replace(filename, "<", "&lt;", "ALL");
files = files & '<File name="#filename#" size="#IIf(
fileSizeKB GT 0, DE( fileSizeKB ), 1)#" />';"'

I still get a javascript error in IE when viewing a dir, but
I can't find the error, and it doesn't impede functionality,
so I'm happy.

I doesn't work, have i done something wrong?

In config.php I changed:
$Config['AllowedExtensions']['File'] = array() ;
$Config['DeniedExtensions']['File'] = array
('php','php2','php3','php4','php5','phtml','pwml','inc','as
p','aspx','ascx','jsp','cfm','cfc','pl','bat','exe','com','
dll','vbs','js','reg','cgi') ;
$Config['ConfigDirectories']['File'] = "/files/";

And in io.php I changed every $resourceType and put global
$Config in it:

function GetUrlFromPath( $Config['ConfigDirectories']
[$resourceType], $folderPath )
{
global $Config ;

if ( $Config['ConfigDirectories'][$resourceType]
== '' )
return RemoveFromEnd( $GLOBALS
["UserFilesPath"], '/' ) . $folderPath ;
else
return $GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] . $Config
['ConfigDirectories'][$resourceType] . $folderPath ;
}

function RemoveExtension( $fileName )
{
return substr( $fileName, 0, strrpos(
$fileName, '.' ) ) ;
}

function ServerMapFolder( $Config['ConfigDirectories']
[$resourceType], $folderPath )
{

global $Config ;

// Get the resource type directory.
$sResourceTypePath = $GLOBALS
["UserFilesDirectory"] . $Config['ConfigDirectories']
[$resourceType] . '/' ;

// Ensure that the directory exists.
CreateServerFolder( $sResourceTypePath ) ;

// Return the resource type directory combined
with the required path.
return $sResourceTypePath . RemoveFromStart(
$folderPath, '/' ) ;
}

irashkin's implementation for coldfusion works just fine!

This for PHP users, maybe even ASP users:

When Oliver said:
"then replace each use of :
$resourceType
by
$Config['ConfigDirectories'][$resourceType]"

He didn't actually mean every single use of '$resourceType'.
The only instances you DO NOT change is:

function GetUrlFromPath( $resourceType, $folderPath ) {
...
}

AND

function ServerMapFolder( $resourceType, $folderPath ) {
...
}

You only change '$resourceType' inside the function, and not
in the function arguments.

Got a lot of troubles with the hack but I did manage at the
end:

Note that it wouldn't be possible to debug without this
file installed:
/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/tes
t.html

- in config.asp, don't forget to DIM the var
ConfigDirectories (line 29)

I suggest that you set up ConfigUserFilesPath = "/" (eg
start from the root)

then if your images are located at
/a_directory/another_sub_directory

ConfigDirectories.Add "Image", "a_directory/another_sub_dire
ctory"

and if your files are located at
/another_directory/a_sub_directory

ConfigDirectories.Add "File", "another_directory/a_sub_direc
tory"

- in IO.asp
change line 24 as per Olivier first message:
GetUrlFromPath = sUserFilesPath & ConfigDirectories.Item
(resourceType) & folderPath

and also line 35 as per Olivier first message:
sResourceTypePath = sUserFilesDirectory &
ConfigDirectories.Item(resourceType) & "\"

- connector.asp - no change.

Make sure you set up your permission right in IIS.

As soon as you can list folders and files in test.html then
you're sorted.
Good luck!

I had a look at "ConnectorServlet" as well as

of now to do this using Java. Maybe I can offer a patch to
do this in Java -- may I?
