Help change $abspath_folder

[delxy]

Hi,

Need to change this line :

$abspath_folder = JPATH_BASE.DS.$folder;

somehow to

$abspath_folder = /public_html/mysite.com.$folder; or http://www.mysite.com.$folder;

 

I tried

$url=('http://www.mysite.com');

$abspath_folder =$url.$folder;

It dosn't work,

Regards,

Anton

Here is my code:

defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

 

class modBackgroundHelper

{

function getBackgroundImage(&$params)

{

// get the parameters

$color = $params->get('color', '#ffffff');

$image = $params->get('image');

$random = $params->get('random');

$folder = $params->get('folder', 'images/stories');

$add_css = $params->get('additional_css');

$idofbg = $params->get('idofbg');

 

// prepare some variables

$the_array = array();

$the_image = array();

 

//check the ID to add the background to, if nothing make body

if ($idofbg == "") {

$idofbg = "body";

}

 

// use random image

if ($random == 1) {

 

// if folder doesnt contain slash to start, add

if ( strpos($folder, '/') !== 0 ) {

$folder = '/'. $folder;

}

 

// construct absolute path to directory

$abspath_folder = JPATH_BASE.DS.$folder;

 

// check if directory exists

if (is_dir($abspath_folder)) {

if ($handle = opendir($abspath_folder)) {

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && $file != 'CVS' && $file != 'index.html' ) {

$the_array[] = $file;

}

}

}

closedir($handle);

 

foreach ($the_array as $img) {

if (!is_dir($abspath_folder .'/'. $img)) {

if (eregi('jpg', $img) || eregi('png', $img) || eregi('gif', $img) ) {

$the_image[] = $img;

}

}

}

 

if (!$the_image) {

return "No images";

} else {

$i = count($the_image);

$random = mt_rand(0, $i - 1);

$image = $the_image[$random];

$abspath_image = $abspath_folder . '/'. $image;

}

}

}

// no random image

else {

$folder = "images/stories";

}

$livesite  = JURI::base();

 

// make the CSS output

$output =  "<style type=\"text/css\">" . $idofbg . " { background-color:" . $color . " !important;";

if (!($image == -1 && random == 0)) {

$output .= "background-image: url(" . $livesite . $folder . '/' . $image . ") !important;";

// if add_css contains <br /> remove them

if (stristr($add_css, '<br />') == TRUE) {

$add_css = str_replace("<br />", "", $add_css);

}

$output .= $add_css;

}

$output .= " }</style>";

 

// echo the CSS output

return $output;

}

}

Need a bit more description. "Doesn't work" means nothing. What doesn't work, what happens when you try it? What is it suppose to do and what does it do before any changes.

 

Also, if you cant edit your post, re-post the code within code or php tags! It's so hard to read I dont understand.
