Feature Request - Ability to create folders in File manager
Reported by theohiobloke | July 10th, 2012 @ 03:10 PM | in 2.1.1 (closed)
User would like the ability to create folders in the file
manager and to arrange files by putting them into teh folders.
User is an admin but I wonder how this would work for regular
users.

Is this something that could be handled by functional grouping (tags or categories) rather than physical folders on the server?

As long as the user can see smaller subsets of files rather than a big list it would work.

Generally I have a basic form of this feature running locally. It uses 'expCats' but refers to them as 'folders' so you have a 2-level deep hierarchy (root folder and the folders) There is a drop-down to select the folder (or disregard folders and display everything). There is a new 'folder' column which allows you to set the file's folder (cat). You can create/edit File Folders (cats) using the Manage Site Categories view. FWIW, we weren't obeying the 'filter' except on the 1st page since we didn't use a 'generateRequest' datatable function (until now).
I still need to:
- access/implement a category/folder creation within the file manager ???
- develop a better algorithm to sort & paginate a subgroup of results
- implement a method to assign the folder to a file on upload (perhaps this is where we allow category creation?)
- would be nice to allow sorting by filename (and not id#), ticket #623
- this may mess up the multi-file select feature being worked on ???

Have filename sorting working and added a date column to help find newest files. Have most of the kinks worked out of the subgrouping and pagination, but it's really slow (I have almost 2000 files in my system).
Need to:
- work a different algorithm to obtain files by getting cats content_expCats first, then pulling in appropriate records rather than pulling in all file records and finding the cat
