is it possible to use images from...(back to index)is it possible to use images from a different directory that is not in the same folder as the rest of the folderblog files?
Example:
New Folder
|----images
|----config
FolderBlog
|----fb.php
|----extensions
|-----etc.php
is it possible for me to somehow tell folderblog to use the directory NewFolder/images?? Im trying to do it now by just changing the directory in the fb_settings file, but im getting this error message
folderblog error
No image files found in [director listing]. Please upload files or confirm directory location and permissions.
I have 777 permissions on the foder and images in the directory. Thanks

Yes it is possible, in the worst case you may have to change some pathes inside fb.php. But isnt there such a setting in fb_settings.php?

Think so. At least it should be possible to set the path to photos, thumbs and comments to something absolute in the fb_settings.php, like:
$photo_directory = "http://your.domain.com/folderblog/photos/";
Not tested, but should work.

no, wont work like that. ;) after endless hours of crawling deep inside the fb code I remember that pathes are built internally like "FOLDERBLOG-DIRECTORY/PHOTO-DIRECTORY/IMAGE", so your proposal would lead to invalid pathes.
What might work is, e.g., "/../mypicturedirectory/".

Nope, using the /../images/ as the $photo_directory didnt work. =(

That was just an example, you have to find out yourself the correct path. Could also be "../../images"

(according to the above described directory structure, it could be "../New Folder/images")

yeah, I wasn't thinking. Your suggestion works, thanks!
