how to manage file storage ?

[Fraifrai]

Hi,

I'm a French user of PhocaDownload and PhocaGallery. I noticed that files are stored in a directory that does not follow section/categories classification (but only allow to create directories. Storing files in the phocadownload directory will quickly make it unusable

What is the solution ?

I also notices that deleting files in the database do not remove them from the filesystem

If there is no native solution i will write (and offer under GPL Licence) maintenance scripts that :

• Delete files that are not references in the database
• Create the section/category structure in filesystem and move files to the correct folder and update the database in this way

Is anybody interested by such a contribution or shall I keep it for me ?

Anyway I would like to get your advice about this problem.

Hi, there is no such option.

If you will write such improvement, will be great to add it here, or on joomlacode.org server.

Thank you, Jan

I do not know the Joomla! API so I will first write my maintenance scripts in basic PHP and will submit them as is. Maybe I will get time to learn how to include it in a plugin
