TYPO3 Core

I have Userpics and dont want to save them out of DOCUMENT_ROOT.
To do this i just tried this in:

class.t3lib_tcemain.php
Line: 6616

function destPathFromUploadFolder($folder) {

// old version
    return PATH_site.$folder;

// new version
    return realpath(PATH_site.$folder);
}

After this change you can specify an uploadfolder in TCA like: '../pathtouploadfolder/'

There is also some Versioning stuff in filehandling on Line 1623.
Replace this with: $valueArray[$key] = $dest.$theFile;
