Hi Georges,
Ok I see what you meant. The problem is a bit more complex:
The Jahia Content Repository is not mapped to the Jahia File Repository (WebDAV). Otherwise speaking, on a Jahia server, you have the Jahia page/container structure with permissions, locks, etc... and you have the WebDAV file system structure with its own permissions, locks, etc...
You have to understand that Jahia only indexes for the moment content added in the Jahia Content Repository. This means that Jahia only indexes a file when it is "mapped" to a Jahia page. Then the Jahia container has a link to the spearate WebDAV server and index the file. The WebDAV server really act as a separate store for binary files in Jahia 4.0.
So you need to do a WebDAV<->Jahia mapping if you want to automatically mapp your files/folders to some pages/containers. We partially did that for a customer prototype last month but it was based on Jahia 4.5 development version and some features are still not working (delete directories, move directories,...). The goal of the demo was to be able to automatically create some Jahia pages for each new WebDAV directories and some new Jahia containers for each new files uploaded in the WebDAV repository. We also then automatically mapped the WebDAV permissions on the Jahia pages in order to avoid anomalies.
We will try to complete this bridge for Jahia 4.5 but it really depends if the prototype/project is accepted by this prospect. Else we will have to find someone else which is ready to sponsorize this development.
Cheers

I have no problem creating the folder in the pop-up. My concern is that what I see on the main page is just
a list of files. No indication of any folders. Then the next time you upload a file and want to associate it with
similar files by putting it the same folder, you need to navigate around in the popup. It would be much
better to see the folder structure in the main page - just like the old file manager or the Codeva file manager.
So what I want to know Is if the showing of folders in the main page can be turned on somehow.
I like the functionality of the Codeva filemanager - problem is it does not have indexing/searching.

Hi Georges,
Do you mean you can not create a new folder in the Jahia engine (the jahia edition pop-up)?
Have you correctly clicked on [Operations] at the directory level? e.g:
"Current directory : ROOT / shared [Operations] "
Else have you tried to mount a web folder (under Windows) or to access to your Jahia file repository through a WebDAV client (e.g. www.webdrive.com). Tha address is usually something like: http://localhost:8080/jahia/webdav/shared . Then you should be able to add new folders directly from your windows file explorer.
Which version of Jahia are you using?
Finally the (old) Jahia file manager webapp allows you to upload files within the context of the webapp. Files are not stored in th Jahia file repository. The new (but still beta) version of Codeva allows you to access to the Jahia WebDAV file repository. So file uploaded through the webapp are then also available afterwards in Jahia through the standard Jahia file engine.
Regarding the indexation of the files, this only occurs when the file is mapped to a Jahia page (=appears in a Jahia page). Jahia currently does not automatically index all the files in the WebDAV repository if they are not used on a page (directly through Jahia of course, not through a portlet view). This is something we will add for Jahia 4.5.

I can upload and access files just fine with the jahia filemanager.
However, I cannot get it to
display file folders. The filemanager webapp does this and the codeva
webdav filemanager
also does it. The reason why I can't just use these alternatives is that
indexing/searching only works for
the Jahia file manager. No references to this in the documentation or
previous postings so any suggestion
would be appreciated.
