Hey gang.

I’m setting up relative paths for all my file upload directories. Or trying. I’m also masking my CP.
If I use the native file upload method, everything works fine.

So my file upload server path is (./files/pages).
URL is (/files/pages).

With native File, this works fine.

However, using SafeCracker File, there’s some sort of bug with how it accesses relative file paths.
Erik Reagan (so helpful that guy!) helped me deduce that if I comment out the conditional on line 574 of ft.safecracker_file.php

if ( ! preg_match('#^(/|\w+:[/\\\])#', $server_path))
        {
            $server_path = realpath(APPPATH.'../'.$server_path).'/';
        }

I’m able to see the files I’m looking for in the file upload directory I’ve specified. But that was only a debugging test.
I’ve switched to the regular file upload method for the time being.

Any help, or notes on this?
Thanks!

I’ve found a solution for the time being.

If I set my Server Path to: ../public_html/files/pages/

Then everything works as expected.
So it would appear that the server path is relative to the system directory.

Hi AJ,

Thanks for the update and glad that you got this sorted out. I’m not sure whether this is just something that needs to be clarified in the SC user guide so I’ll check up on that. I’ll go ahead and close this now but please open a related thread if required.

Cheers

Greg
