Feature Request: File upload/download directory dependancy		2/27/2006 13:16:50
PHPRunner General questions
J jme author Would be cool if, depending on another tables selection, the file uploads/downloads directories could be changed. Background =========== My team required 5 different forms to collect information on my companies intranet. Typically 75% of the form selections are similar. All include file uploads. Instead of creating 5 different form admin sections, I created 5 different form clients which hide the field which indicates the form type when data is submitted. I created a single backend manager which allows admin users to add/edit/view/etc all the different form tables. It's cool, except the backend manager can only use a single upload/download location. I can set different locations on the clients which can save properly. If I try to use the backend manager, only the first of the five forms works. Make sense? Thanks, Julian

	Julian, create a common directory for all projects and five subdirectories inside common directory. For example, c:/uploads, c:/uploads/1, c:/uploads/2 etc. For admin specify c:/uploads as Folder where files reside on the View format and Edit format dialogs on the Formatting Tab. For other users set c:/uploads/1, ... , c:/uploads/5 accordingly. After you build the pages admin can add subfolder name after upload file selection to save it in specidied subdirectory. I.e. type in `1/file.txt` in filename box to save the file to the first subfolder.
