Images.mdu upload then return to insert image page

[DistantJ]

Some people (including me) have had a problem with the image insert script going to the image management version of the page after uploading, rather than returning to the insert image version of the page.

I have devised a solution to this using PHP sessions. Here's how to do it!


In images.mdu, at the very top, after:

Code: Select all

<?php
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
//Original images.mdu modified by FI-DD
//http://english.cutenews.ru/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Add:

Code: Select all

session_start();

Then, find:

Code: Select all

if ($area){
?>

And replace it with:

Code: Select all

if (isset($_SESSION['area'])){
$area=$_SESSION['area'];
}

if ($area){
$_SESSION['area']=$area;
?>


Now, after uploading an image, you will return to where you previously were.

This is a godsend when used with FI-DD's avatar browser mod!

Nice! thanks, I'll be checking it tomorrow!
I did had some problems with it, after uploading
that is why I also installed the iManager addon
This is great!

allthough i've never experienced this problem, you did make a great hack!
nice one. Could it harm my core files when i include this one by default so
it's always there when i install a fresh backend?

Hmm for some reason it didn't help much and when uploading/deleting
an image it takes a huge amount of time and then timeouts
Anyone had/has this or know how to fix that?

How big is your image that you are uploading.?? I know there is a small timeout issue with default settings!

It's a pretty small image, like 5kb or so, shouldn't be a problem :\
