I'm actually (right now) in the middle of writing our own connector to cope with the virtual image directories we use for cached on-the-fly scaling and mangling of images, but the following should work fine with the standard connector unhacked. You don't say if you're on a Windows or *ix server, but the basic solution we use here under Linux/Apache is to symlink the connector to somewhere within the vhost's directory tree (the top level image selection directory is a good place). If that's not possible on your platform, you can always actually copy the connector. You'll need, of course, to put the fckeditor files themselves in a shared location and update the js config to reflect the new (symlinked) location of the connector. FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/browser/default/browser.cfm?Type=Image&Connector=/images/connector.cfm'; for example. This is all necessary because of ColdFusion's continuing bizarre failure to let an app know what the vhost's base directory actually is; there's no way to find out from a file that isn't (as far as ColdFusion is concerned) physically in that directory tree. Exposure of CGI.DOCUMENT_ROOT (if available) would make life *much* easier... There are other ways of doing this, of course: say, a database lookup on CGI.SERVER_NAME or just an application variable, but these would require changes to the default connector. -- Pete Jordan Horus Web Engineering Ltd http://www.webhorus.net/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:198672 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
