change root

Post by JStoffy »

Great component!

Can someone give me a hint to change the document root?
Like to have:
/gallery
instead of
/images/phocagallery

And maybe a hack to change the "personal folder" root used by "Phoca Gallery User Control Panel Layout"?
These personal folders should be in one subfolder(category) like:
/gallery/product1
/gallery/product2
/gallery/product3
...
/gallery/productxx
/gallery/private/user1
/gallery/private/user2
...
/gallery/private/userxx

cheers

hi JStoffy,

there is no easy way to achieve this (without changing the code).

but search the forum, i think this was discussed before...

thanks for this hint,

I only found viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8
from 2007.

I changed all pathsettings in the 2 given files.
components/com_phocagallery/helpers/phocagallery.php
administrator/components/com_phocagallery/helpers/phocagallery.ph

Additionally I found 3 other locations where I chaged the code:
administrator/components/com_phocagallery/front/helpers/pocagallery.php
administrator/components/com_phocagallery/front/views/detail/tmpl/default_downlaod.php
components/com_phocagallery/views/detail/tmpl/default_downlaod.php

After this I give up, always get errors:
* JFolder::files: Path is not a folder
* JFolder::folder: Path is not a folder

Does anybody changed the root folder for phocagallery ?

If this is realy not possible, is there maybe a chance to put the personal folder in one subfolder, like discribed above?

thanks for any help.
