Change location of images

Permalink
Hi,

Currently images are located in /files/ in the root directory is it possible to host the images else where?

for example currently hosted onhttp://www.domain1.com/files/ and want them to be located fromhttp://www.domain2.com/files/

Other question is how does the /files/ structure work? what do all the numbers mean?

for example Wordpress stores there files in /uploads/ then the structure has the year in the uploads folder /uploads/2016/[images placed here]

and Concrete5 has /files/4557/ and then another random folder.

Thanks in advance.

If you're using 5.7, check into file storage locations:

If you're using 5.6, you probably need some core hack.

Hi Mainio,

Thanks for this.

Yes unfortunately using 5.6, do you know of a hack that I could use?

Thanks,

Probably there isn't any existing particular hack available for this.

You'll need to dig into the core code or post this as a job to the jobs board if you're not able to do it by yourself:

We can also probably help you with that, just PM me with a bit more information on what needs to be done and I'll provide you with a quote.

Some basic support for an alternate storage location was in 5.6, but its not as adaptable as in 5.7.
