One Common Folder for ?type=image or ?type=file - /filemanager to navigate to one common file where files & photos stored

[kinger251285]

• Operating system : Ubuntu 20.04
• Laravel version : 7.0
• Package version : Latest

Currently i am using the iframe as part of a component and within the filemanger of Laraberg.

When i open the filemanager i would like it to navigate to the base directory of Filemanager under the public/storage and then have the files under files and images under images within this base folder. When accessing /filemanager?type=file i would like it to navigate to the Filemanager/files folder allowing me to still access the one common Filemanager folder if needed and the same with images.

My current lfm config file:

`<?php

Ive tried changing the settings for the shared folder and nothing works.

[mafftor]

add to the folder_categories array

'common'  => [
        'folder_name'  => 'common',
        'startup_view' => 'list',
        'max_size'     => 50000, // size in KB
        'valid_mime'   => [
            'image/jpeg',
            'image/pjpeg',
            'image/png',
            'image/gif',
            'image/svg+xml',
            'application/pdf',
            'text/plain',
        ],
    ],

and navigate to ?type=common

P.S. Just create new type and setup shared valid_mimes

Thanks for the reply.

However that just adds another folder and accesses that folder.

I want images and files to be sub folders of the common folder rather than public and the standard routes for ?type=image and ?type=files to access the files and images under that common folder.

Your suggesstion has just added public/common leaving me with folders as below:

public/common public/files public/images

i would like to access as below:

public/common/files public/common/images

Therefore the following routes would access these folders as below:

/filemanager == public/common /filemanager?type=images == public/common/images /filemanger?type=files == public/common/files

I hope that makes more sense

[kinger251285]

Ok so playing a little more.

I have now deleted the images folder from the config file leaving only the files folder.

Everything now navigates to that files folder and i can manually create the sub folder i want.

Not sure if this is the correct way or not but works how i want.
