Allow to define upload path and url in wp-config.php

[sirzooro]

When someone wants to move default directories elsewhere, he/she must do work in two places: add defines to wp-config.php and change upload path on settings page. I think it will be good to introduce two new defines: UPLOAD_PATH and UPLOAD_URL_PATH. When they will be defined, WordPress should use them and do not allow to change these on settings page - similarly to home and site url options.

You can define the upload path in wp-config.php, not the url however. The url is decided based on the relative path you provide for UPLOADS. The constant you would use is UPLOADS, and it is relative to ABSPATH.

From the code:

    if ( defined('UPLOADS') ) {
        $dir = ABSPATH . UPLOADS;
        $url = trailingslashit( $siteurl ) . UPLOADS;
    }

UPLOADS is not always the best idea. I'd like the url to be media.example.com/www (on amazon s3) for www.example.com (on my server).

Punting pending patch, though.

This option does not exist anymore on the Settings page.

Replying to jbkkd:

Correct, but there is still a need to modify these values. I'm still for a patch here. UPLOADS is pretty lame.

Closing as maybelater. Complete lack of interest on the feature on the ticket over the last 2 years. Feel free to reopen when more interest re-emerges (particularly if there's a patch)
