Connect folder structure with categories?

Post by flosen »

Hi.
I'm quite new to Phoca Download and I like the clean layout! Most things are really quite easy to find, there is only one question:
Is it possible to connect a category to a specific folder? I knew it from another component but I want to use Phoca now for other advantages.

For example:
There are the categories and Folders like this:
|A
--|A1
--|A2
|B

If an autor upload a file (in frontend) in the cat A2, file is automatically uploaded to www/phocadownload/A/A2/file.pdf .

This would help a lot to keep files tidy on server...

Thanks Flo!

Hi, if user uploads a file in UCP, then the file is stored in user's folder - so every user has own folder. To upload it to selected folder, this needs to be customized

Hi Jan, I really would like to have it like flosen explained it.
To upload it to selected folder, this needs to be customized
Could you tell me how to do this, or isn't it possible to customize it by myself?

And what does UCP mean?

Thanks Tinga

Hi, unfortunately I didn't do such customization yet, so I cannot give any clue advice how to customize to your needs.

UCP means - user control panel.

:: UCP - there users can upload images but they can set name for their main category and create subcategories
:: in - in category view, they can upload images, but such images will be not assigned to them but to the category they will select.
