Upload to specified folder?

  • Resolved stoneyb

    Until Dropbox allows sharing of app folders (Real Soon Now!), I need my other website maintainers to be able to upload files into specific subfolders of my Dropbox/Apps/Blighty Explorer/ folder, not just _bex_uploads. I have the upload shortcode protected with eyesonly, so I don’t need to segregate the uploaded files.

    I’m using the [bex_folder root=”a folder”] now on different pages, so it would be convenient if the [bex_upload] could allow authorized users to upload to the same folder. Subfolder access would be good too, but it might be complicated to do in the form.

    Is this possible? If not yet, consider this a feature request.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your feedback. I’d started to design and develop out that functionality a few months ago, but I never completed it. I’ll revisit your ideas though and see if I can implement them. It may be September 2015 before I get to it based on my current workload.

    I’ve just added this functionality with version 1.9.0.

    I think there’s a problem with the choice of root folder for uploading.

    On a page with this:

    [bex_folder root="financials" sortdir="D"]
[bex_upload]

    Where financials has several sub-dirs, and I select one of them for viewing, when I upload, it goes into a folder with the same name as the subdir of financials, but at the top level.

    e.g., I select financials/2016 as the folder to view, which is mapped to Dropbox/Apps/Blighty Explorer/financials/2016/. I then upload a file, and it goes into Dropbox/Apps/Blighty Explorer/2016/

    This is obviously not what I wanted.

    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for letting me know. I understand what you’re saying and I’ll take a look at it today.

    There was no root override attribute for the bex_upload shortcode, so I’ve added that with 1.9.1. For your example, it would be:

    [bex_folder root="financials" sortdir="D"]
[bex_upload root="financials"]

    Cheers,

    I’ve been waiting for 1.9.1 to show up in the plugin updates. I just checked Blighty Explorer on the Add New page, and it has the updated changelog, but it still says 1.9.0.

    I think something’s out of whack.

    I uploaded the source code several hours ago, but it’s not showing. I may have to get the WordPress team to bump it. In the meantime, you can download the latest version and install it manually if you like.

    WP finally shows an update, so I got the new version. It works exactly as I wanted. Thank you!
