how to make dynamic target_dir in xupload pro?

#1 Postby towersys » Aug 23, 2007 3:08 pm

Hi,

currently i have a photo gallery where the user inserts album name in the first step, submits form, then proceeds to 2nd step for photo uploads to this album, ultimately these photos are uploaded to directrory gallery/my-album-name. So you see i need to make target_dir dynamic. How can i do this?

Thanks for any help

It's recent feature in XUpload Pro: in config you enable 'allow_ext_folder' option, then specify folder in 'ext_folder' hidden field on upload_form.html

Ok excellent. Thanks

One more thing. What's the difference between url_post and redirect_link? Isn't having the redirect_link a bit redundant since post_url is almost like a redirection anyway?

Yes. Using only url_post in Pro version now. Actually got problem with this since some servers give error when POST to .html page, but already made fix for this.
