    I’m testing out wp-filebase as a replacement for download monitor.

    I’m having trouble with recursive discovery of files if nested within a folder.

    For example- I’m using the default location for files – wp-content/uploads/filebase
    with in the directory I create sub-directories. When I do a file sync it discovers the files and directories however in the file browser it only displays the directory folder not the files within it. It only displays a spinning circle.

    If files are not in a directory it displays the file fine.

    I have set the permissions on sub-directories to be 777 just like the parent.

    Any ideas?

      Hello Joe,

      most likly its another plugin interfering the AJAX response. Try to disable other plugins one by one to spot the “bad” one. Also, can you provide the URL of the site?

      Regards

          I found the offending plugin – it was ReviewAzon Pro v2.0.5. I will look to see if there have been an update for this plugin.

      Hi
      I have the same problem.
      But if I change the design template, it works.
      So there is a conflict with my template.
      How can I fix it?

    Hi,

    This plugin looks interesting. I am looking for a plugin (or will write one myself) that supports multiple users where each user has access to one or more folders for writing and/or reading. Within the users own folders he/she can do anything.

    Does this plugin support that kind of behaviour? If not, would it be easy to update the code for this purpose? (I can change it myself)

      I am also interested in this feature. I have purchased the license for this plugin today only. Will dig it more.
      @Fabian: Please reply if you are looking for such feature included into this plugin.

      For now, I am thinking of using below plugin:
      http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nmedia-user-file-uploader/

      But the problem is that Admin have to manually shift the files to the appropriate directory.

      Please revert.

        Hi Fabian,
        I am facing 2 issues in WP Filebase Pro:
        1). I am also looking for above functionality as mentioned by Deepak.
        What I observed is that under Settings-> Common, there is an option to define Upload Path but the issue is its not accepting any $username related variable.
        I am also using plugin “Add from Server” where I can define such variables in the path eg. %username% and %role%

        2). One more security issue I observed is:
        Using the Permission settings I can limit the access to view/edit only user’s own files under File listing but when I try editing any of my files the the web address looks like http://www.abcd.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpfilebase_files&action=editfile&file_id=6
        Now, here if I manually change file_id=6 to any other existing file_id(of other user) then that file opens for editing and I am able to update its details.
        @Fabian: Please target its fix in next releases ASAP.

        Thanks,
        Deepak

    Import went fine (autu sync from folder/files structure) – used the example shortcode to add in the list (after setting the post ID):

    [wpfilebase tag="list" id={category id} path="{category path}" tpl="{list template tag}" sort="{file_property}" showcats={0/1} sortcats="{cat_property}" num="{page limit}" pagenav="{0/1}" /]

    It works on the page requested, but I get the message:
    [WP-Filebase]: WARNING: List template {list template tag} does not exist!

    above the categroy list???

    When I drop out the tpl=”{list template tag}” from the shortcode it just becomes a mess – any ideas?

    When using the “search integration”, and having a default page set up as described, how is the resulting page styled? Right now, I’m resorting to an external CSS file, but all other templates seem to work independently (which is good!), except for the default page with search integration, which has a wired-in solution which is not customizable. Am I right, or am I completely wrong?

    Using the shortcodes on the “default page”, which allow a selection of templates, is not a solution. First, because there is no template for the File Tree View, only for the File List. Secondly, because the Tree View appears by itself, additionally, no matter what the shortcodes say. I’m assuming this is because this whole page is used for search etc. and, as such, has to have “something” by default, besides the usual shortcode mechanism.

    Looking at the resulting CSS for the default page was not very encouraging. There seems to be no catch-all CSS class for the Tree View in the default page. Granted, it’s still possible to style it, but I feel it lacks some consistency.

    Hi,

    I am enjoying this product. I would like to have more than one file browser but I see in the setting there can only be one. Is there any way to add other post-browser pairs? Thanks

        Sorry for the delay. You can edit the file browser template (Manage Templates -> Categories -> Filebrowser and replace %cat_small_icon% with any image.

    Is it possible, using the file browser, to only display categories where the category name == a user capability id ?

      Hi Dean,

      yes, you can insert a shortcode to display a file browser on any page you like: [wpfilebase tag=browser /]

    I am using a plugin to upload files directly from the frontend of the website, it’s called inline upload. When it uploads the files to the wp-filebase folder the files do not get synced. I ticked automatic sync, but even after days the files do not show up on the wp-filebase listing of the folder…

    anyone has a solution for me?

    Thanks,
    Raul

      Just to understand if there is a possibility to force the sync automatically instead of going to the backend of the website to sync every half hour…

      Thanks,
      Raul

    Hi – Great Plugin!!

    Is it possible to display details of the associated files using the Tree view? Ideally I’d want them to look like the the default template (tag=default) when viewed in the tree.

    Thanks!
    John
