Sub-directories not showing in fileup

    I’m running this on Windows 2012, php v7, IIS8. I’m able to upload files and have them show up in a [fileaway] table.

    My base dir is set to wordpress root/wp-content/uploads/files

    I’ve successfully created two sub-directories called Accounting and Loans under that. One via the fileup module and the other using the manager in fileaway.

    I’m not seeing anything but the Files directory in the fileup module ever. How do I get the sub-directories to show up? I’d ultimately like employees to be able to choose a sub-directory or create a new one and upload docs there. 

    [fileup makedir="true" uploadlabel="Upload" fadein="opacity" fadetime="500" uploader="name" overwrite="true"]

[fileaway type="table" datelabel="updated" customdata="uploader" size="no" fadein="opacity" fadetime="500" directories="on" manager="on" drawerlabel="Directory/File" role_override="administrator,editor" dirman_access="administrator,editor"]

    This is on our intranet, so access is limited unfortunately. Could maybe do a goToMeeting or something if needed.

    Select Files from the dropdown. Then look in the dropdown again.

    Ugh, found everything I need to know in this post:
    Fileup subdirectory resolution

    I think it would be awesome to somehow have the initial dropdown build the entire sub-directory tree on the first click. Pretty sure this will take some training to get employees used to it working this way. Not super great from a non-computer savvy end user standpoint. But good news is that it works!

    You can also add matchdrawer=true to your fileup shortcode and remove the dropdown from the equation altogether. The upload directory will be the currently navigated directory on the fileaway table.

    Giving that a try. Does search only work in the current directory? Doesn’t seem to be working recursively down the tree. I’m hoping that an employee can be at the base directory and find a file in a sub-directory via search.

    It’s a javascript search of the html table.

    One more question, is there a place to save my documents that would allow the main site search to pick them up? I’m using WOffice theme.

    File Up does not use the WordPress media library. It simply uploads files directly to your server.

    Does WordPress rely on info being added to the database for media library additions? Is that how things are indexed for search? I have File Up saving in the Uploads directory, but nothing found in site search. Just need a good way for employees to find these forms. We could have 50 or more pdf’s in a directory with 4 or 5 directories. Wanting an easy way for them to be searched without having to go into every folder.

    If you only have 4 or 5 directories with approx. 50 files in each directory, and you want to be able to search them all, then I would recommend removing directories=”on” from your shortcode and adding recursive=”true” to your shortcode. This will put all files in a single table, with no directory navigation. Thus all files will be in the table to be searched.

    Note that matchdrawer=”true” in your fileup shortcode will need to be removed, bringing the dropdown back. Also note that manager mode will override the recursive setting, so you’ll have standard directory tree nav for those with access to manager mode.

    Note also your shortcode has
    role_override=”administrator,editor” dirman_access=”administrator,editor”.

    You should set administrator and editor as having access to Manager Mode on the File Away settings page, then remove the role_override and dirman_access from your shortcode.

    Okay, thanks for that option. Will take a look at that.
