Using file galleries with already uploaded files
That was quick, and looks like just what I need, thank you!
I'm having trouble getting it to work however. Here is what it is telling me to do:
If you decide to store files in a directory you must ensure that the user cannot access directly to the directory. You have two options to accomplish this:
Use a directory outside your document root, make sure your php script can read and write to that directory
Use a directory inside the document root and use .htaccess to prevent the user from listing the directory contents
To configure the directory path use UNIX like paths for example files/ or c:/foo/files or /www/files/
So I can't do the first one because I'm using a web host provider and my file manager only has access to my little corner of their server, so I don't know where it is. I tried putting my gallery folder in the base directory I have access to, but I can't seem to figure out how to tell the admin page where it is.
As for the second option, I just don't know anything about that (.htaccess). Would simply changing the folder access permissions work? Because I can do that easily.
