It might be asked before.

I am working on component sobi2 and multisites.

I have a master site and two slave sites.

I hope the image folder for each slave site can be saved under its own slave-site layout. (Current images are all saved to the master site image folder)

the code sobi2 write the images to the folder is as follow:

$this->imagesLivePath = "{$config->liveSite}/images/com_sobi2/gallery";
$this->imagesAbsPath = sobi2Config::translatePath("images|com_sobi2|gallery", "root", false, null);

----------------------

$savePath = sobi2Config::translatePath("{$this->imagesAbsPath}|{$sobi2Id}|", null, false, null);


How can I make it happen? shall I change the code for the sobi2 or I can make some configuration change in mulitisite?

Thanks for your help.

If you want that each slave site has its own images directory, this is possible.
See tutorial video CP-05 that show how to create the JMS templates rules for the replication
www.jms2win.com/tutorial#jms12x-CP-05

In very short:
You have to select a website to replicate
Enter the "new media folder" = images
Enter the "new image folder" = images/stories

Thanks for your reply.

I followed the instruction and have the new folder for slave site medias and images.

Which is : images and images/stories

However, after I tried to upload new images in the slave site. I found Images are still uploaded to the master site but the read directory changed have been changed to slave site.

If you have used a domain or a subdomain, you have to check your hosting server configuration to ensure that you have provided the "deployed directory".

Same question here.

I have a master site and some slave sites.

I want to have all the slave sites to have their own image folders to hold pics only for that slave. However, same time, I also want to have a central place such as the master site to have a image folder to hold the avatars for all the users, because the users are shared by all the slaves.

Also, please advise me on the "deployed directory" problem. I use Godaddy Linux server.

Thanks,

Dear Ning,
it is more difficult to have both share and independent images folder.
You can either share everything or have a totally independe image folder.

If you want to have a totally independent images directory, you can find a sample in the tutorial video CP-05.
www.jms2win.com/tutorial#jms12x-CP-05

Create an independent directory can be done when you replicate a website.
You can create a JMS template like in CP-05 and put
- domain = {site_url}/multisites/{site_id}
- New table prefix = {site_id}_
- Deploy directory = {site_dir}
- media folders = images
- images folders = images/stories

or you can go in "folders and files" where you select the action "copy" for the "images" folder.

If inside the specific images folder you want have sub-direcory like "common" or "shared" folder, you will need to create manually a Symbolic Link like JMS is doing with other directories. You will need a SSH prompt and use a unix command like "ln -s".
See the unix "man"ual to get more detail on this unix "ln -s" command.
