Group Roots

[BitStinker]

This may be useful for others also.

I have a system where users can access files and folders directly on a NAS. The web app can also access these via FTP. The web app also generates its own files in its own file system not on the NAS. So, I have the elFinder set to give access to both folders. I would like to "pretty" it up by grouping the folders.

Now:
FT1760-Proj (on the NAS via FTP)
FT1760-CuEx (on the local web app file system)

Want:
FT1760 (dummy grouping folder)
--Proj
--CuEx

Maybe make a special 'root' that is an array of roots with just an alias?

Here is a snip of what it looks like now

@BitStinker It good idea! 👍

@BitStinker I have implemented this. Please refer to the Wiki.

• https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/wiki/Connector-configuration-options-2.1#roots
• https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/wiki/Connector-configuration-options-2.1#phash-elfinder--2115

Thanks! 👍

Very cool. I see version 2.1.14, but not 2.1.15 in the releases. Am I missing something?

[nao-pon]

@BitStinker 2.1.15 has not been released yet. Until the release You can try the nightly build.

Perhaps I am not understanding properly. The hash value of the volume is required to fill in phash, but the volume has not yet been mounted when setting up the configuration. How does one assume a volume hash value when it is not yet defined?

[nao-pon]

@BitStinker Volume ID is determined in the following manner.

• $volume->driverId + [Incremental numbers] + '_'
• or
• $volume->driverId + $volume->options['id'] + '_'

Thus, it is possible to control by the volume roots option id.

[BitStinker]

Works like a charm!

For the uninitiated, the hash for the group volume appears to be

$volume->driverId + $volume->options['id'] + '_Lw'

where the ending "Lw" is the hash for "/".

Hi good day!
I do not quite understand how they could connect to a NAS disk, could you give me an example?
I need to connect to a NAS disk that is in the path "smb://192.168.xxx.xx/folder" on Linux.
I would be very grateful.

[BitStinker]

I FTP to the NAS using the elfinder FTP volume. I actually do it to two different NAS boxes. One onsite, the other offsite.

Hello @BitStinker
And you know how to connect to the NAS by SMB (Samba) and if possible ?.
A greeting.

[BitStinker]

I don't know if it is possible without using FTP. Sorry.
