Relative Paths - No Answer?

[LesE]

No answer to my question a week ago so I guess this means that the Thumbs and Microthumbs Directories in Edit Exhibition Data and the Select Filename in Photo Editor do not work unless your photos are on the same server as the Editor? Not possible in many cases as some ISP's restrict the amount of CGI space. :(

Sorry, missed that one...

I'll code those listing with ftp, after that relative paths are history. Even now, there are only two instances where local file access are needed in present code, those are surely not show-stoppers, are they? You can type filename by hand and list exhibition thumb dirs by thumbnail. And you can set thumb paths to remote servers, also with 1.5RC4.

LesE,

Relative paths are now officially history in next version. Did the code. Only pitfall is that the listings can only be made with EE's Internal FTP engine because PHP's own ftp system is very prone to halt totally with file listings. I'll look into that later, but as I said what the listings represent in EE are not essential in order to use it.

Many thanks, Pekka. I agree that not being able to use these features is no big deal in an otherwise superb program. I just thought that I might be missing something obvious in the way I have set things up.
