FTP users without root access
« on: June 10, 2006, 04:30:50 PM »

First of all.. Blogg-X is the best Cheesy For me at least, because I have full access to the server root on my ftp.

For my authors and editors it's great, just not as perfect as for me. Why? Because I can only supply them with limited FTP access. When they login to the general publisher ftp account I have setup for them they end up in ftp.domain.tld/images/stories. This gives them the abillity to upload images, which is great. This ensures me my publishers wont screw up the website.. The only problem... after uploading an image it doesnt display as the uploaded image because the program just adds the media sections after the domein. When looking at the HTML code this results in images with a source like domain.tld///filename.extension instead of: domain.tld/images/stories/filename.extension .

So here is my feature request! Smiley Alter the program that we can adjust the path for images. I've tried multiple variations to get this to work: changing site adress to domain.tld/images/stories. Ftp basepath to /images/stories (but that doesnt work because then they would end up in: domain.tld/images/stories/images .. ) And tried media directories like images/stories, / , http://domain.tld/images/stories.

The result: uploading only works with basepath / and media directory /

After this all I suspect that the program does the following when putting the image codes in the article: Siteadress + ftp basepath + media directory + filename.extension. This is al very logical, but just doesnt work like I want... Perhaps you could add an absolute path for images, so people could fill in: domain.tld/images/stories and then adss media directory + filename.extension. And if this form is left blank, obviosly it just uses the default:  Siteadress + ftp basepath + media directory + filename.extension

I think this should benefit alot of users who just can't grant everybody full ftp access Smiley

And if there is a workaround (besides altering the /// to /images/stories/ like my authors are doing for the time being) for this (I searched the forums, but didnt find anything) just ignore my way too long post and perhaps add a notion to the FAQ and usermanual Smiley

Anyhow, thanks for this piece of great software!
