I think it would be nice if users would be able to specify the upload folder. If users have multiple sites under one domain, it would be handy to have one folder for all their images, pdf's, etc in a different place.

GetSimple has all a CMS needs and nothing a CMS does not need (generally) ;=)
I think this suggestion will produce a lot of problems with folder permissions etc., I can already imagine the posts here in the forum, asking for help....
Cheers, Connie

i haven't tested it, but you should be able to set the define() variable in /admin/inc/common.php to a specific folder. If that works, we can maybe setup a gsconfig option to set an alternative path (just like we did with the /admin/ folder')

It didn't work but the following code in the upload.php is the cause (I assume).
Code: if (isset($_GET['path'])) {
$path = str_replace('../','', $_GET['path']);
$path = tsl("../data/uploads/".$path);
$subPath = str_replace('../','', $_GET['path']);
$subFolder = tsl($subPath);
} else {
$path = "../data/uploads/";
$subPath = '';
$subFolder = '';
}

Has there been any progress in formally adopting this new feature?
I'd like to change my upload folder, but would like to make sure GS won't throw errors back (as tested by datiswous a year ago). Has anyone else toyed with their upload destinations? OR has GS included something in an update?
Thanks.

I don't know if anyone has documented this yet, but this is how I almost successfully changed the admin code to accept a new "upload" directory. I say almost because I haven't really done an extensive test, but everything works so far. Using the changes below, I am able to add/edit/delete directories, upload/delete files, and use the file browser feature of the WYSIWYG system.
If this is truly all that was needed to be done (again, I haven't tested it extensively), then some simple changes to the code in the next release can give people the opportunity to change their uploads directory more easily. It would be nice to simply use the GSDATAUPLOADPATH definition.
NOTE: I'm changing the upload directory from uploads to public in GS version 3.1.2.
IN admin/inc/common.php- LINE 52: define('GSDATAUPLOADPATH', GSROOTPATH. 'data/public/');
IN admin/upload.php- LINE 20: $path = tsl("../data/public/".$path);
- LINE 24: $path = "../data/public/";
- LINE 64: ... <a href="'. $SITEURL .'data/public/'.$subFolder.$base.'">'. $SITEURL .'data/public/'.$subFolder.$base.'</a>';
- LINE 196: echo '<div class="h5 clearfix"><div class="crumbs">/ <a href="upload.php">public</a> / ';
- LINE 236: $adm = substr($path . $upload['name'] , 15); // used to be 16
IN admin/image.php- LINE 25: $src_folder = '../data/public/';
- LINE 73: ... <?php echo tsl($SITEURL) .'data/public/'. $subPath. $src; ?> ...
- LINE 77: ... <?php echo tsl($SITEURL) .'data/public/'. $subPath. $src; ?> ...
- LINE 78: ... <?php echo tsl($SITEURL) .'data/public/'. $subPath. $src; ?> ...
- LINE 81: ... <?php echo tsl($SITEURL) .'data/public/'. $subPath. $src; ?> ...
IN admin/filebrowser.php- LINE 18: $path = (isset($_GET['path'])) ? "../data/public/".$_GET['path'] : "../data/public/";
- LINE 27: $fullPath = $sitepath . "data/public/";
- LINE 129: $adm = substr($path . $upload['name'] , 15); // used to be 16
NOTE
The substr changes relate to the length of the directory name. Uploads has 7 letters, public has 6 letters (so 16-1=15).

Thanks for that.
Is there any reason why the upload path is hard coded and not using GSDATAUPLOADPATH ?

I can not confirm, but I believe Shawn had to step away from dev. do to health issues. No word if or when he will be returning.
Both branches v3.3.16 & v3.4 were last updated in 2020 some time.
The latest version posted on the RU site, is a recent version that @multicolor and myself have been developing to provide compatibility with the latest versions of PHP, as well as new features, added responsive admin and frontend templates, as well as a new repo with plugins that have been tested to work on the lastet php. The latest version at the time of posting this is 3.3.19.1, you can find more info here: https://getsimple-ce.ovh/ or by visiting the GitHub page.
Regarding the download folder, I have never needed to look at this before, so I dont have an answer for you.

thank you for your reply
I'm looking for a plugin to download media into subfolders
either by date or by page URL
a bit like Worpress
because I have more than 500 pages with 2000 images
in a single folder it's a disaster to manage

You know you can manually make folders via the Files tab, right?
I dont know wordpress, but maybe it would create folder based on page slug? Because there could more pages with uploads o the same day.
I will think about this and see if there is an easy solution. Maybe there is a ckeditor plugin already.
