Hello all,

I’m relatively new to EE and trying to setup CE Image for doing image management/manipulation across my site. Does anyone have any advice for how I should set the upload destination to use CE Image properly?

The installation of CE Image talks about creating a “made” directory within “images” off the root. I did that, but I don’t know if that’s what I should point to as the upload destination for my channel in the control panel, or if that’s the directory that it will use to dynamically create images and thus, I shouldn’t mess with it.

Any help is appreciated!

Joe, the ‘made’ directory is indeed where the resized images will be saved to - no need to do any additional setup.
CE Image’s docs are excellent, if you follow the installation guide:
http://www.causingeffect.com/software/expressionengine/ce-image/user-guide/installation
it’s pretty much plug and play.
If you want to do some additional config:
http://www.causingeffect.com/software/expressionengine/ce-image/user-guide/configuration
you can, but it’s optional.
I usually just set up a made and remote folder and I’m done.

Cool. Thanks for the help!
