Title:
Remove superfluous folder in archived submissions
Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
In Progress
Bug description:
Mahara 1.10+
When you archive submissions, the path to the actual file is like
/var/lib/maharadata/110stable/submission/6/1414376651/ with
"submission" being the folder for all submissions, "6" being the
folder for the user and then the next subfolder being a timestamp for
when the archive was created. Only then do you get to the actual file.
I think we can safely remove the timestamp folder as each submission
has a serialized number at the end. Disadvantages of the timestamp
folder:
1. It is not clear unless you are a dev that the number is a timestamp.
2. Even if you know it's a timestamp, you'd need to calculate first if it's
the one file in that folder that you need or not.
3. It doesn't add value because the file names are unique.
Advantages of removing the folder:
1. You can see all archived files from one user in one folder in
chronological order. That makes it easier to review the files quickly and find
the ones you are looking for.
2. One level less of hierarchy.
