Directories not working in WP 4.1

This is not a WordPress 4.1 issue, as the directories work correctly in all my WP 4.1 installs.

My first guess is that you have “..” (double-dots) in your base directory, which is a no-no. Otherwise, I’d have to take a closer look at your specific setup.

Yeah I read one of the other forum posts mentioning that. Base Dir is set to…

“S:\Websites\BetaSite/support/clientdocs”

I’ve been disabling all my other plugins in case there is a conflict but so far no luck. My web server is running Windows & IIS with PHP installed (not Apache, hence the backslashes in the path). Do you think that has something to do with it?

I don’t know. It might. I don’t have a Windows server to test on. There’s nothing in my code restricting that, but it could be a core thing. Difficult for me to troubleshoot without direct access.

Which file under your plugin’s “lib/inc” folder parses & assigns the “drawer” querystring variable to the final directory path? Just poking around to see if I can find anything that might be causing this.

If I echo $dir at the very top of the inc.directories.php file, it always outputs the base dir regardless of the querystring.

Stumbled upon the cause I think (it is due to IIS). In IIS, $_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”] does not return a value (empty). Have to use REQUEST_URI instead and assign the value to QS…

$_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”] = preg_replace(‘/^.+\\?/’, ”, $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]);

This returns the value: “drawer=uploads*subdir” (at least for this particular test)

So maybe try putting that on line 14 of plugins/file-away/lib/cls/class.fileaway.php:

$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] = preg_replace('/^.+\\?/', '', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

I also call server query string in inc.directories-nav.php, so putting the definition at the top of the shortcode should solve it everywhere.

Might have to do it at the top of the [fileup] shortcode too, if you’re using fileup with match drawer.
