Selecting files in category directory

[ravenswood]

Hi, first of all - thanks for such a great component,having used docman for many years Phoca download is a breath of fresh air.

I am having one small issue with fileuploads from admin backend. Version 2.19 on Joomla 2.5

My site has a number of categories, each created initially by uploading a zip file with folders. The phocadownload folder has a number of sub-directories so it looks like this..

Code: Select all

phocadownload
 phocadownload/cat1
 phocadownload/cat2
 phocadownload/userupload

I want to upload a file and put it in one of the folders e.g. cat1, when I try to browse to the target folder it just won't open the folder. It will however open the userupload folder and allow me to upload files in there.

Permissions are the same on all of these folders - 755 and all are owned by my user. I can upload fine using another joomla app i.e. extplorer. I can even manually edit the file path to point to the uploaded file and it works fine.. It just seems to be the browse function that isn't working correctly.

I've searched the forum and noted some other similar problems but no solutions. Hope you can help!

Hi, in frotendend, users can upload their files, so all files uploaded from frontend are stored in phocadownload/userupload folder (and there the subfolders for all users are created). To change this behaviour, this needs to be customized in the code

Thanks Jan,

I am actuall feeling pretty stupid just now..

My folders had names with spaces in them e.g. "Members Private Area" when I remove the spaces from the folder name, browsing works just fine!

Hope this helps somebody else..

Ok, thank you for the info.

Yes, spaces and diacritics should be not be used on servers.
