Hello!

Ok so right now I have a working install of FCKeditor and CKfinder under Drupal 6.14. My setup is like this:

Drupal 6.14
Fckeditor module 1.4
fckeditor 2.6.5
ckfinder 1.4

So far everything works great, and I have to say that I'm very pleased with the performance and capabilities of the little Ckfinder plugin, but now I want to take it a step further.

What I want to do is to enable CKfinder to work in a multisite setup with multiple users who will have their own directory where they can place their own files, make their own directories and so on. By multisite setup I refer to running several different domains off the same codebase/same installation of Drupal.

My solution to this problem would be something like this:

First for the sake of simplicity lets assume that I wish to keep ALL user files in the /sites/default/files/ directory within the Drupal installation. Further lets also assume that I want to use 2 different domains each with one unique user: http://www.mydomain.com and http://www.yourdomain.com and the the users "me" and "You".

So in our Drupal instalation we'd have a directory structure that looks like this:

/sites/default/files/mydomain/me/
/sites/default/files/yourdomain/you/

Now I have considered many solution, but I'll start of with what I think would be he simplest. It seems like setting the $baseUrl variable in the config.php overrides the path set in the Drupal FCKeditor module under administer>site configuration>FCKeditor>---choose some profile--->file browser settings

The line in question is underneath the ckfinder directory in the config.php file. Right now it looks like this:

$baseUrl = '/sites/default/files/';

How would I go about making CKfinder honour the FCKeditor path?

Hi nikkelei,

I haven't looked into this specific use of the CKfinder, but I noticed your multisite setup is different then how I have seen it done and how I use it. With your given scenario, I would setup multisite with the following file/folder structure:

- drupal
  - sites
    - mydomain.com
      - files
    - yourdomain.com
      - files

With this setup, you shouldn't have to set the $base_url variable which is known to have undesired side effects. Hope this helps some.

Cheers,

Antoine

Is this still an issue?

Hmm open it again, cause it is quite tricky to figure out how to get the right path for your upload per site configuration.
