[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] specify thumbnail path.

have you tried ../ in front of your imageset1thumbs/thumbs/thumbs_img.jpg?

If you need to go back up more than one folder than keep adding, like so ../../

Paul

man i knew that ../ thing had something to do with it, but im not that familiar with really any of this, and i never personally specified imageset1thumbs, i looked for all instances of /thumbs and simply placed, /thumbs in front of / thumbs, then it automatically created imageset1thumbs..
so im not sure which change was the one that did it, if not all of them? oh wait maybe do the same thing but replace /thumbs with, ../thumbs/thumbs ? eep!!

ah man i added ../ in front of them all and i import from .com/member/pictures/jan10
and it creates thumbs folder
.com/member/pictures/jan10..thumbs

its not in the jan10 folder with the large pics but its only one dir up, and its got .. in it? lol heeeelp!!

err ok i put ..thumbs on two of them, instead of ../thumbs

but now it places

.com/member/pictures/jan10..
which is the thumbs folder,
in /pictures with /jan10
which is the main pics… err

Have you done something like this?

$gallerypath = ‘../../’ . $gallerypath;
$gallerypath = WINABSPATH . $gallerypath;

placing it in core.php under function create_thumbnail_folder

Paul

any idea if anything in nggfunctions.php needs to be changed, cause their are instances of /thumbs
so i would think of something goes calling on that dir, which is not their since i would have changed it, might break something. any idea?
thanks a lot paul i appreciate it

ok i changed

$gallerypath = WINABSPATH . $gallerypath;

to

$gallerypath = ‘../../’ . $gallerypath;
‘
and nothing happened at all. ever thing works like normal, thumbs in the dir it goes in by default.

Yeah, my thinking on that isn’t going to work. And I’m running out of time to help on this. Maybe someone else will chime in.

From what I can see the folder is being created in lib/core.php. Around line 46 the function get_thumbnail_folder, which calls function create_thumbnail_folder, gets called. If you can change the variable $folder_url somehow I think that that will solve most of the problem. Of course, you might be right in that you will need to modify some code in nggfunctions.php.

yeah lately iv only been messing with core, originally i played with core and nggfunctions, and at one point i was able to get the folder thumbs ourside of the members password protected dir, but the thumbnails would fail to create when i import.. i know it can be done i feel its just not as simple as a couple lines changed, because it has to set the creattion of the folder and where it goes, then it needs to tell the thumbs nails where to go, but i think its telling the thumbs to go where they normally go, not 3 dirs up… i dunno, im diein here trying to figure it out, its like the last thing i need to configure before i can to a final set up and launch ??

Take a look at wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/functions.php

It has the import_gallery() function in there and within that there is a call to get_thumbnail_folder($gallerypath). Maybe changing $gallerypath?

Also it calls do_ajax_operation() with is in admin/ajax.php. Maybe there?

Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Paul
