media path when not using year/month folders

  • One of my clients is using WP just as a CMS (no blogging) and does not put their media files into year/month folders so they are all in the /uploads/ folder, no subdirectories.

    On my WAMP development server I am testing replacing the current gallery plugin with FG and ran into an issue with the Albums extension, specifically the gallery cover image does not load.

    I figured out why – in /foogallery/includes/WPThumb/wpthumb.php, lines 331-332:

    $subdir = dirname( str_replace( $upload_dir['basedir'], '', $this->getFilePath() ) );
$new_dir = $upload_dir['basedir'] . '/cache' . $subdir . '/' . $filename_nice;

    Without subdirectories, on my WAMP server $subdir results in “\”, which give a url of “cache\/”.$filename

    Browsers are having a difficult time loading images with the backslash followed by forward slash. I imagine on a *nix server it would be 2 forward slashes, which is potentially problematic as well but not as bad. Just wanted to bring this to someone’s attention. Probably a low-priority bug, but it should be remedied.
