Here's a suggestion re: how it should work
- The variable $g_absolute_path_default_upload_folder already defines an absolute
path, as in: $g_absolute_path_default_upload_folder = 'C:\pub\mbt\docs';
If defined as something like simply "docs", then the code treats it as .relative
to the Web Site directory.
- When displaying the "Upload File Path" the least significant child of the string
should be parsed, get a '\' (Windows) or '/' (Unix/Linux) character appended,
and then set into the "Upload File Path" field as an initial value. Ex: "docs\".
- Administer then concatenates any arbitrary path, and submits.
- Code should handle either the user did, or didn't, append a '\' or '/' char,
test if the directory exists, and create it if not.
But, in almost any form, I'd like to see the priority of this raised. It really
isn't intuitive, or friendly, that just before pushing the submit button, the
admin user has to digress to Windows Explorer and create a directory (or to
$> cd /pub/mbt/docs; mkdir my; cd my; mkdir new; cd new; mkdir project). :-)
This inconvenience aside, Mantis seems to have some real world experience behind
it. Good job, folks.
