Automated File Management

  • Sorting out the media library is an endless job, although allocating media files to categories makes it a lot easier.

    My site is for registered users. When a new user joins my site I would like to create a Media Category for them based on their User Name – so that whenever that user uploads a media file it is allocated to their own Media Category.

    This should mean that I will not get any uncategorised media files.

    I would like to write some php to take care of this and would appreciate a few pointers.

    1. How do I create a New Category.
    2. How do I allocate any new uploaded Media Files to that new category.

    It would be great if all this file management went on the the background with minimal work from me. I’m sure that something like this would appeal to most users.
