photo uploads hardcoded how to rredirect? was created by mjl1817

Hi,

I'm running CB GroupJive on Joomla 6 with Community Builder. My server uses an rclone FUSE mount to offload media storage to Bunny.net CDN storage.

Originally I had the Bunny mount pointed at images/ (the entire images directory). This caused a problem where CB profile avatars and canvas images — stored in images/comprofiler/ — were being hidden by the FUSE overlay, breaking CB profile pages entirely. User avatars and canvas images were no longer visible.

To fix this I moved the mount point to images/bunny/ so that Bunny only handles media in that subdirectory, leaving images/comprofiler/ fully local and untouched. CB profiles are now working correctly.

The issue I've now run into is that GroupJive photo uploads land in images/comprofiler/cbgroupjivephoto/, which is inside the comprofiler tree I need to keep local. So GroupJive photos are currently staying local rather than going to Bunny storage as intended.

My question: Is there a configuration setting in CB GroupJive that allows the photo (and ideally file/video) upload directory to be changed to a custom path? I'd like to point it to images/bunny/cbgroupjivephoto/ so those uploads go to Bunny storage without resorting to filesystem symlinks.

Thank you.

I wish I knew, Then we would both know.

My question: Is there a configuration setting in CB GroupJive that allows the photo (and ideally file/video) upload directory to be changed to a custom path?

There's no such feature at this time.

The current plan is when CB GroupJive is redesigned into a standalone Joomla extension it won't use the images folder anymore, but the new "files" folder where user file storage is designated (implemented in Joomla 5.0) by default with support for overriding the path. At that point it'll be made compatible with Joomla's file system adapters so you'd be able to use an adapter to store the images externally and retrieve them externally.

without resorting to filesystem symlinks.

Is there a reason why? A sysmlink of the /comprofiler/cbgroupjivephoto directory should immediately solve this.
