Outside directory about liipimaginebundle HOT 8 CLOSED

i will try to get to this during this week .. i have never tried to configure the Bundle like this myself before, so i will first need to setup something like this myself .. that being said .. have you tried debugging this yourself? there are just a couple classes you need to step through in the Imagine dir of this Bundle

Thanks @lsmith77 Yes, I tried ro debug it myself and haven't managed to get it right so far. I'll definitely give it an other shot asap. Thanks.

Thanks for your comments @nass600 I am so glad you managed to do this as I still can't... Would you mind giving a few tips on how to do this? That would be awesome.

Of course @Sydney-o9.

First of all you need to set in config.yml the parameter data_root as you did but pointing to the source directory instead of the target one, in this example /home/user/.

Create the web/media/cache directories to generate the thumbnails in case you didn't. Remember the permissions.

Finally, you need to tell Apache which directory outside the web root you want to access. For Symfony2 I usually place an apache.xml file inside app/config where I define where is located my foreign directory and afterwards you should set an Include "/path/to/this/apache.xml" directive in the project's vhost.
Doing this I do not have to change again and again the vhost if I modify the directory where I want to access from this particular project

The apache.xml would look like:

Alias /Photos /home/user/Photos
<Directory "/home/user/photos">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All

Following this location means your photo's relative path must be /Photos/subdirs/file

Hope it helps

would be great if you could see how to integrate those instructions into the README.
