What's this doing? /picture

Moozie · Post by **Moozie** » Tue 18. Nov 2003, 17:38

Question 1:
What is the purpose of the dir phpwcms/picture? Is that for own use? So that I can upload pics manual to that dir and then use it in the content with a real image tag like <img src="/phpwcms/picture/pic1.jpg"> or has it another meaning?

Question 2:
If I want to upload 50 pictures. I have to do it in the FILE menu and than one by one. If I do it quicker (external by an ftp client for example), where do I have to put these 50 images so that I can see them and use them in the file menu? Phpwcms changes the names of the pics so that's difficult...

1. picture is for image replacement tags - they use picture as base dir. If you use normal <img src... do it like you would.

2. Upload your mass files to phpwcms_ftptakeover. Visit the file manager ftp takeover - then you will understand the system.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. My picture dir is empty and I use pictures in the site. When will that dir be filled?

You mean the dir /phpwcms_ftp?

Code: Select all

screen.jpg (Error while creating user directory.)
error while file take over

I guess this is a chmod issue.
Which dir would that be that has to be chmod?

yes - sorry _ftp

phpwcms_filestorage minimum 766
phpwcms_ftp 766

If not usable try 777 for those folders

When I installed phpwcms on the server, I did not see a directory named "phpwcms_ftptakeover". I also saw the mention of "phpwcms_ftptakeover" directory in the Installation instruction.

Is that just an empty directory? Do I need to create that directory on the server?

I would appreciate the help.

the folders name is not phpwcms_ftptakeover!!! if you want that name instead then open your include\inc_conf\inc_conf

find this line

$phpwcms["ftp_path"] = "phpwcms_ftp"; //default: "phpwcms_ftp"

and replace phpwcms_ftp with name of the new folder...
