How to change ajax URL on preUpload?

mowax

I need to send ajax submits to a different url than ajax uploads.

This is because in combination with wordpress the standard ajax submits go to ajax-admin.php, while async uploads go to async-upload.php

Now the editor has the url attribute set like this:

ajax: {
          url: ajax.ajax_url
        }

now i try with

editor.on( 'preUpload', function ( e, fieldName, file, data) {

     // i try to override the URL where the AJAX is sent to 
     // from ajax.ajax_url to ajax.upload_url
} );

i tried to set it with "e.url = ajax.upload_url", "e.target.href = ajax.upload_url, data.url = ajax.upload_url",".

Non of this worked.
So, my question is: how can i change the URL in the "preUpload" or is there another way how i can change the URL based on if it's submitting or async uploading?

Looks like you can use ajax as an object and specify the URL for upload.

But i'm not sure how the syntax for that looks like.

i can't write directly in this preupload function "ajax.url=". I need to assign it to a parameter that goes into the function (e, fieldName,file,data).

I tried "e.ajax.url=": "Cannot set property 'url' of undefined"...since e is the ajax object already i guess.
But then "e.url=" should work, but it doesn't - it's not defined. (I tried first a console.log (e.url) to check if this is existing with the default assigned url - but it's not)

I feel i'm close to this...but how would be the exact syntax that i need to use?

Ohh - i should have read your linked post to the end...
I tried the steps that are listed lower on that page - now it's working!
Thank you so much! Took me ages to figure this out
