Custom upload dir “on the fly” in WordPress 3.6?

1 Views

Writing a plugin for WordPress and cannot manage to set the upload folder. Found this when I googled: 

$upload_dir = "images/objects" . (isset($_REQUEST['ObjectNo']) ? "/{$_REQUEST['ObjectNo']}"  : "");
$plugin_dir = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . BGREAL_PLUGIN_NAME;
$plugin_url = WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/' . BGREAL_PLUGIN_NAME;

function sss_configure_upload_dir($path_data)
{
   global $upload_dir;
   global $plugin_dir;
   global $plugin_url;

   $path_data['path'] = $plugin_dir . "/" . $upload_dir;
   $path_data['url'] = $plugin_url . "/" . $upload_dir;
   $path_data['subdir'] = "/" . $upload_dir;
   $path_data['basedir'] = $plugin_dir;
   $path_data['baseurl'] = $plugin_url;

   return $path_data;
}
add_filter('upload_dir', 'sss_configure_upload_dir');

On the page where the uploader frame opens, I have got the following:

Read More
$upl = wp_upload_dir();
echo $upl['path'];`

Which echoes C:PATHTOHTDOCSpublic_html/wp-content/plugins/bg_real/images/objects/11212

The problem is, when I open the media upload frame and uploads an image, it save into /wp-content/plugins/bg_real/images/objects since the $_REQUEST['ObjectNo'] is missing in the async-upload function.

I need the images organized in folders after the querystring ObjectNo.

Any ideas? Spent hours on Google etc. and tried different approaches but none seems to work.

Thanks,

  2. In case someone stumbles upon this, you can use the UPLOADS directory constant from within your wp-config.php file:

    // before including wp-settings.php
define( 'UPLOADS', WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/my-upload-target' );

    That’s it. The rest gets cared about automatically.
