Hi rock and welcome to Piwigo forums :-)

1) install/activate [extension by Piwigo Team] LocalFiles Editor from screen [Administration > Plugins > Manage]

2) open [Administration > Plugins > LocalFiles Editor > Local config] and paste the following code:

Code:

$conf['upload_dir'] = './another_upload_directory';

This is where pLoader/UploadForm adds photos. This path must be relative to the Piwigo installation directory (but can be outside, as long as it's reachable from your webserver).

I changed my $conf['upload_dir'] to '../../files/piwigo'. I'm able to upload pictures with the flash uploader to this directory. That works fine. My problem is now that piwigo is not displaying the pictures in my album. I get the error message the file does not exist. It would like to safe my pictures in the files directory outside the html directory to backup them seperately.

Hi delakut,

Indeed, $conf['upload_dir'] must be a direct or indirect sub-directory of your Piwigo installation, to make it visible through HTTP.

In your case, here is what I would do :

1) in your "gallery" directory, remove "upload"
2) in your "gallery" directory, create a symbolic link "upload" to "../../files/piwigo"

It works, thanks a lot.

A quick guide:
I created the symbolic link with php. You only need to copy a php file to your root directory and start it in your browser. The code is:

<?php
if (symlink('/var/www/html/web123/files/piwigo', '/var/www/html/web123/html/gallery/upload'))
{
echo "Symbolic link was created";
}
else
{
echo "Symbolic link was not created";
}
?>

It is possible that you need to change the chmod to 755.

The upload_dir stays like it is. You don't need to change it anymore.
$conf['upload_dir'] = './upload';

Very smart. As a Linux user I would have said "if you don't have SSH access, you can't create a symbolic link".
