"Image" option in Content Editor - Change directory

[andrew_syd]

Is there any way to change the directory that is used for the "Image" drop-down input in the Content Editor page?

Currently it only lists the images under uploads/images and I would like to change it to something like uploads/images/pages

Thank you.

Hey andrew_syd

I was looking to do the same thing today, I assume you're talking about changing the image on a normal page, rather than on a newsletter?

On line 371 of lib/classes/contenttypes/Content.inc.php I found this code:

Code: Select all

	  $dir = $config['image_uploads_path'];
	  $data = $this->GetPropertyValue('image');

I changed it to:

Code: Select all

	  $dir = $config['image_uploads_path'] . "/sidebar";
	  $data = $this->GetPropertyValue('image');

And that worked for me. 

Please note that CMSMS stores these as relative URLs, eg. it will only save "Sidebar01.jpg" not "www.example.com/uploads/images/sidebar/Sidebar01.jpg", so you have to make sure your image is pointing to the right directory.  Ask if you need more help and I can show you what i've done.
