With some extensions (for example JCE editor), you can set the default path adding variable strings, something like "images/stories/$usertype/$username", so they only have acces to their own folder. - Toni Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:28:02 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1657 Having a lot of these images in a folder called stories made absolutely no sense...very strange they decided that should be a default directory.

Goodbye to 'stories'.... Thanks again for prompting me to even look into this from your post! - jennifer Sun, 17 May 2009 21:42:57 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1545 Thanks Cory. Tested my config file and it is writable. Even so, I can't even see which lines in the config file are determining the root of the images folder. Maybe it is JCE. I'll continue my search for an answer and let you know when I find it! Cheers. - jennifer Sun, 17 May 2009 16:28:23 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1544 Hi Jennifer... the first thing I would do is make sure your configuration.php file is writeable. It may be that the change you made didn't get saved. If that's not it, I'm not sure what to tell you. It could be a JCE thing, but I don't know enough about JCE to tell you if that's the case. - Cory Sun, 17 May 2009 13:05:29 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1543 Hi Cory, When I found this tip from you I was so excited as I hate the name 'stories' for this folder. But when I followed your instructions, it didn't work for me. When I went to insert an image or a document link, I still got 'stories' as my root folder. I even tried to rename stories but it magically reappeared as an empty folder! I'm using JCE and have looked in the configurations for that as well but to no avail. Any ideas? - jennifer Sun, 17 May 2009 01:23:52 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1500 Hi,.. I build animations using flash pretty good. However, i replaced the default joomla logo with my swf file in the CSS code and also placed the swf file in the relevant directory, saved and then checked the result - but the image position was blank on the page. I again added "swf" into "Legal Image Extensions" in the global configuration, yet no difference. I made sure the swf animation had the same dimension with the default logo. Still nothing! I can't figure out where i'm wrong here. I think i need your help. Thanx! - Adewuyi O.

This is technically possible, but it wouldn't quite work the way you want it to. - Cory Webb Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:31:04 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1259 Hello, Thanks for the article. I have a question regarding the image directory. I want to move some static content (images, javascript, and possibly css) to a subdomain. Is this possible using the steps in the how to listed in this article? The reason I want to move static content to a subdomain is to eliminate some http requests. I've done a bit of research, and have read that moving static content to a subdomain will relieve a bottle neck in terms of simultaneous http requests from a single domain. From what I have read, reducing the number of http requests is the best way to speed up page load time, and moving some http requests to a separate subdomain is the second best way to speed up page load time. Thank you very much for any help or advice. - greg@afinspect.com Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:19:08 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1209 Hi Amin, you should be able to change the menu link text in the menu manager. I'm not sure why you would be having a problem with that. Also, if you need multiple languages, you should try using JoomFish. - Cory Webb Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:09:07 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1208 Hi !

Best regards - Amin Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:03:10 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1186 Hi Mark... good question. The easiest way to do this is to navigate to the page you want to link to and copy the URL in the address bar. Other than that, I'm not sure if there is another automatic way to do this. Thanks for the suggestion. I have big plans for this site in the somewhat near future. Stay tuned. ;) - Cory Webb Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:54:57 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1185 Hi Cory I would like to add a link to an image in a content page, like for eg. . When you add the image using the WYSIWYG editor and then click the add link icon, a popup appears asking for the Link URL. The question is: how to reference the page you want the link to go to? Cheers, Mark Weatherill. p.s. it may be an enhancement to your nicely organized website if you added the capability for logged in users to easily view all their posts. - mark weatherill Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:02:31 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1055 Why in the world is the default path stories? - Dave Sat, 18 Oct 2008 22:34:20 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1036 Great to find this. So, the next step, is it practical to move the 22 little icons found by default in the images folder to a subfolder so the folder is more manageable? - Duke Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:10:57 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008092692/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-default-images-directory-in-joomla-15#comment-1025 Hi Shan... I have to disagree with you on the template thing. Not all Joomla sites look alike. The template system in Joomla! 1.5 is flexible enough that you can set your site up to look however you want it to. You are only limited by your creativity. - Cory Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:47:46 +0100
