# Plugin doesn't support alternative content directories.

 * I’m using [Chassis](http://docs.chassis.io/en/latest/). Chassis configures WordPress
   so that it’s content directory isn’t in `wp-content`, but rather a content directory
   outside of the WordPress installation.
 * This plugin breaks on line 666 of `lib/camera_functions.php`. Here’s a simple
   fix for this error, thus making this plugin work for different content directory
   configurations:
 * Change line 662 of `lib/camera_functions.php` to:
 *     ```
       global $post, $pix_pluginpath;
       ```
   
 * Change line 666 to:
 *     ```
       include($pix_pluginpath . '/lib/meta/camera_meta.php');
       ```
   
 * You can also remove line 659 as the `CAMERA_PATH` constant is no longer needed.
 * The problem was that the `CAMERA_PATH` constant wasn’t correct because it was
   hard coded to assume `wp-content` as the directory for which the plugin was installed
   under. However, `$pix_pluginpath` global was already defined in the plugins index.
   php file and was correctly using the `__FILE__` magic constant to get the plugin’s
   directory, so why not just use this global?
