Overriding homeslider stops new images from loading

[carbonhoarder]

I overrode the default homeslider module and modified it a bit. But when I load new images on the configure page they don't load properly. A big question mark is shown instead.

I found the images are uploaded inside the override/modules/homeslider/images folder, but the shop tries to load them from the default modules folder, /modules/homeslider/images.

 

The default images show up fine (unless I upload them again), I suppose this is because they actually exist with the same name in the original modules folder.

 

How do I change the module so it loads the images from the override folder?

in this case you have to change path where the images will be stored

elseif (!ImageManager::resize($temp_name, dirname(__FILE__).'/images/'.$salt.'_'.$_FILES['image_'.$language['id_lang']]['name'], null, null, $type))

i mean this part dirname(__FILE__).'/images/'

Ok, but I still don't know what should I change it to.

How do I target the original modules folder?

Doing the opposite (making images load properly from the override folder) seems to have many issues with file permissions.
