Hi everyone. A lot time not writing here but periodically checking for the nice updates. I'm facing a problem and not able to figure out how to solve it easily ? (admitedly that something in programming is easy ?). I'm trying to implement featured and gallery fields for generic post. My problem is that I need to have the Inputfield reading/writing the images from/to a system folder rather than a page. Reason of that is that: customer stressed me out about the need to have a WordPress-ish ? central folder for images; if referencing images from a page, possible future changes to the source page will change accordingly all images src link, breaking everything (and I'm trying to keep the backend as lighter as possibile by not fill it with modules which keep track of this and that at every change). I'm actually using the great ImageReference module, but I'm still facing some issues I already exposed on its GitHub repo, which I'll try to summarize here: image preview not (yet) responsive in edit page, or at least in my case it doesn't work as (I) expected; no scrolling in image selection (widget expans a lot especially if the container is narrow); no description available for the uploaded images. What I would like to have is the power of the default FieldtypeImage combined to the huge range of choices ImageReference gives out of the box, but from what I did understand the author is not interested into merging the things. All this brings me to the final question, which is: since I actually cannot afford to spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel, and is low-budget work, is there a way to hook some event from the default FieldtypeImage right before it uploads or reads the file from the page's folder, in a way I can modify the path by routing it to a folder of my choice? I hope I've been able to make clear my thought ?

Hi, in my site structure I have many projects (parents), each with several sub-pages (childs). All images will be uploaded to the project in the parent page. On the child pages should these images are used in text fields (TinyMCE). But it is very complicated, each time to click through the whole page tree, just to get to the images of the parent page. Can I make the path - that is displayed in the image insertion dialog - clickable? Or I can predefine a path by default? What opportunities are there to simplify the selection process? Thanks for your tips, Enibas
