Hi,
I'm new to pmwiki, so I apologize if this has been addressed already, and sorry
about the length. I looked in the achives and didn't find anything on this
particular challenge. I did read about why categories haven't been added, but I
don't think my issue was addressed there. (I've been reading the pmwiki site
for the last 5 days, and haven't seen this.)
I'm trying to modify a pmwiki so that files from a serveral directories under
the uploads folder are included, and users are able to upload files directly to
subdirectories. I'm aware of the Uploads: addon, but I can only get it to
recognize 2 levels folders under the uploads: cookbook recipe. I need 3 levels.
I'd like to be able to give users a pull down menu so they can categorize
their upload, and from there it would be put in the appropriate directory,
subdirectory or sub-subdirectory.
I'm playing around with different methods of doing this: modifying the uploads
recipe, or writing a whole new script. But I was hoping someone would point the
way to information about pmwiki's code (which is a bit confusing to me at this
time) so I can make the appropriate choice. I simply do not understand the
nuances of functions so I'm not sure where to start to plug things in. Shoud I
create a prepend the pull down to the input of the file name parser to
something like $Category/$SubCategory/$SubSub/$Name and somehow figure out how
to hand it off to the proper upload.php function? Which would I hand it off to?
Or is there a more elegant solution, such as hijacking the $Groups/$Name
feature in uploads?
As far as feedback on pmwiki, I would like to see more comments in the code
explaining what each function does in case it's not obvious to a relatively new
php developer like myself. I'm particularly looking for something like the
comments in Uploads_Markup.php cookbook recipe.
Thank you in advance for your help. I hope someone out there can help me. And
thanks for your time.
Mike
